Droppings from the Nest, August 19th
Well, Spokane returned the favor last night–beating the Hawks 6-1. It was a pretty uneventful game for the Hawks besides DJ Fitzgerald’s homer…his second of the season.
So without further ado, let’s get to those droppings:
- The Idaho Press-Tribune notes how the Indians evened the series against the Hawks last night.
- The Idaho Statesman looks at the end of Boise’s 4-game winning streak in a recap of last night’s game.
- Former Hawk, Brett Jackson is featured on InsidetheIvy.com…unfortunately you have to have a subscription to read the entire article, but hey their coverage is worth it.
- I’ve added a couple more articles to the homepage: an interesting look at the diets of international players and then a piece about the origin of the Hawks theme song.
Tonight should be a fairly busy night at the ballpark. Not only is it our Family Feast Night featuring $1 popcorn, ice cream sandwiches, hot dogs and sno cones, local boy Braden Tullis (out of Timberline HS) is the starting pitcher for Spokane. We have already sold out of our 1B Res section, so it you want tickets run down the the box office fast!
Behind the Scenes with Oh! Show Productions
I recently sat down with Tony Okun and Eric Sandmeyer or Oh! Show Productions to chat a little bit about their work with the Hawks , their background and their soon-to-be-released documentary “Time in the Minors.”
Tony and Eric have collaborated on several Hawks projects, including a behind-the-scenes look at Media Day, a preseason commercial, theme song and Project Filter PSAs about quitting tobacco use. Find out exactly which Hawks project Tony and Eric enjoyed the most in this sound byte from my interview with the two collaborators.

Besides the Hawks work, as baseball fans, you might be interested to learn more about Tony and Eric’s documentary, “Time in the Minors.“
“I think your readers would be very interested in this film because there is an internal aspect of the players that doesn’t get presented on the field,” said Eric. “You get the action on the field, but his film gets inside their head; the pressures of hanging in there for one more season while they’re trying to get the attention of the scouts; the pressure of if they’re not hitting very well, what that does to your head and it makes it harder to get up to bat the next time. Or what happens when you feel like crud; it’s hard to get up and go out there and your schedule is just boom, boom, boom. And what they guys go through mentally is a really exciting story.”
The first public screening of “Time in the Minors” is just around the corner. You can check it out during the Idaho International Film Festival, September 24th-27th. For more information, just go to www.idahofilmfestival.org
