Solis is there for listing purposes, but of course he won't see any action this season.

Austin Hänsen with a gem last night. 5 shutout innings; 11 K, 0 BB, 2 hits.

A look at a major early season challenge for the River Bandits.

Sort of a shame people couldn't get to the field.  Fans could fish and watch a ball game at the same time.

After playing a home game on the road yesterday, they finally have their home opener tonight.  They have built an elevated walk way to allow fans access to the stadium. 

Great promo - It is magnet schedule night.  They have partnered with a store to give away a fridge to put the magnet on.

Any news/update on McKenna's hamstring injury?

Any news/update on McKenna's hamstring injury?

Activated yesterday. Andy Pineda released.

Thanks!!

Ramiro Rodriguez sighting in the OF tonight. I have been eager to see how he performs.

[Mike S.]

And McKenna back too.

And McKenna back too.

Back on the DL, actually.

[Mike S.]

Thanks, I saw that news shortly after I posted.

Is this a recurrance of his hamstring injury?  Something else?  He's been horribly unlucky with how often he's been hit by the injury bug this year.

Didn't see it posted, but James Nix (JUCO All-American and 35th Round draftee in June) was promoted to Quad Cities from GCL.

Hanging out with my sweetie at the first game of the playoff series vs the Cedar Rapids Kernels.   Go River Bandits!

And the River Bandits take the first game 4-1.
