Droppings from the Nest, August 21st-24th
When the guys are out of town it gives me a chance to explore Boise a little more. However, as you can tell, that keeps me from keeping up with the droppings. So let’s just dive in:
- The Idaho Statesman recaps Thursday’s, Friday’s and Saturday’s games against Yakima and then Sunday’s start of the Spokane series.
- The Idaho-Pres Tribune does the same, highlighting Thursday’s and Saturday’s wins over Yakima, their extra-inning loss on Friday and Sunday’s win in Spokane.
- InsidetheIvy.com has a feature story on Hawks catcher Richard Jones (you have to have a subscription to the site, but it’s worth it, trust me).
- Matt Swain over at WrigleyBound has a Q&A with Justin Bour.
Additionally, Hawks pitcher Su-Min Jung returned to Korea today for his freshman year of college. As a result, the Chicago Cubs removed Jung from the Hawks roster and placed him on their restricted list. The restricted list just means that the team still has contractual obligations to Jung, he just can’t play at the moment.
With Boise, Jung logged a 4.38 ERA in 24.2 innings. He started
seven games for the Hawks with a 0-0 record, allowing 23 hits, 14 runs,
11 walks and striking out 17.
RHP Eduardo Figueroa will take Jung’s place in the rotation
on Tuesday against the Spokane Indians. Currently, there is no
replacement for the roster.
Droppings from the Nest, August 20th
Even with a pitchers duel between Hawks Robert Hernandez and Spokane’s Braden Tullis, the Hawks pulled out the win 1-0 thanks to an RBI single by Logan Watkins.
And on an interesting note, all three pitchers for the Hawks last night (Hernandez, Eduardo Figueroa and Dionis Nunez) happen to live with the same host family. I’m sure they went home and had a big celebration.
But now the guys hit the road for a week and a half, making visits to Yakima, Spokane and Tri City. It will be a nice break for us in the front office, and I have some pretty exciting plans in the works. Tonight I head to the Caldwell Night Rodeo, Saturday I’m planning on floating the Boise river for the second time this summer and then going salsa dancing. I’m also hoping to fit in another camping trip while the guys are gone. Oh, and lots and lots of sleep!
But before I get carried away thinking about my upcoming plans, let’s get to those droppings:
- Jordan Rodriguez with the Idaho Statesman take a look at Greg Rohan’s battle with HBP this season who has been hit seven times this season; the Statesman also has a recap of last night’s game.
- The Idaho Press-Tribune looks at the Hawks’ series win over Spokane.

- Chris Langrill of the Idaho Statesman looks at Hawks power hitters Justin Bour and Bobby Wagner and how they’re helping the Boise offense.
- Will Love of the Idaho Press-Tribune recaps last night’s 13-7 win over the AquaSox, also chatting with Bobby Wagner.

- Anthony Caruso sits down with Hawks pitcher Corey Martin.
If you couldn’t decipher my broken Spanish above…today’s post was written in Spanish in honor of tonight’s promotion–Latino Night. Additionally, Hawks pitchers Robert Hernandez and Eduardo Figueroa taught members of our front office some salsa steps…you will be able to check out the video here tomorrow.
Time-traveling Hawks
If you attended the game on Saturday, August 1st you might have though you’d stumbled into a time machine and somehow ended up spending a hot summer day at the ballpark in 1939.
For the Albertsons 70th Birthday Bash, the Boise Hawks went all out with our 1939 promotion. The team wore special 1939 throw-back Albertsons jerseys for the night, the front office dressed in 1939 costumes courtesy of the Costume Shop on Chinden, we gave away 1939 jersey t-shirts, and our typical mix of pop and country music was ousted by swing and big band a la “The Natural.” Additionally, the bleacher seating was only 70 cents per ticket!!
Earlier that day, a couple of players–George Matheus, Eduardo Figueroa, Jon Nagel, Josh Whitlock and Hak-Ju Lee–made appearances at local Albertsons wearing their snazzy throw-backs. They surprised early Saturday morning shoppers with friendly faces and autographs. We came across several very excited kids; including one who shouted, “Mommy, I see the baseball players!” every time we passed.
But the party really didn’t start until the staff showed up in their 1939’s garb…we had a little bit of every 1939 life-style imaginable, sailors, army officers, gangsters, cool cats and movie stars…
DON’T FORGET: You can bid on the Albertsons 1939 jerseys (just like the Main Street Mile jerseys) starting tomorrow. Just go to www.milbauctions.com and search for your favorite Hawks player.
