Weekly updates, quotes, news, and notes from the Hartford Yard Goats, the Double-A Eastern League affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
The Hartford Yard Goats' first games in Connecticut did not exactly go as planned. The return to Hartford is still a few weeks away but the Yard Goats got to play games in front of a home crowd this week and promptly lost five games in a row. In fact, they went just 1-6 last week, losing their grip on first place in the Eastern League East division. After Monday night's loss to the Western Division-leading Akron Rubberducks at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, the Yard Goats are now looking up at the Reading Fightin Phils, one game behind.
