Droppings from the Nest, Last of the Season
With the end of the season now behind us, it’s only fitting to do one final sweep of the droppings. So without hesitation…
- The Idaho Statesman recaps the Hawks final game of the season (a win!) and Chris Langrill sits down with the coaching staff in reflection of the season.
- The Idaho Press-Tribune notes the season’s positive ending.
- Troy Oppie with KBCI Channel 2 talks with GM Todd Rahr about the hopes for stadium renovations or a new facility in the future.
- Zach Wolken with KTVB Channel 7 looks at the Hawks’ last game of the season.
- Don’t forget to check out the most recent video footage by our HAM Insiders…specifiically SS Hak-Ju Lee serenading the crowd at the Booster Club/Host Family Farewell picnic on Sunday. Priceless!
Personally, I’m still in shock that the season is over. I have yet to collect all of my thoughts and emotions and put them into one final blog post about this fabulous summer. Stay tuned!
Droppings from the Nest, September 4th-6th
Well, tonight is the last game of the season–and boy, what a summer it has been. I can’t wait to sit down and actually reflect on the season…of course tying it in with a blog post as well.
But before I get ahead of myself, let’s get to the droppings I need to catch up on:
- The Idaho Statesman recaps Thursday’s win over Spokane and last night’s loss to Tri-City.
- The Idaho Press-Tribune looks at the Wagner-led win over Spokane, and Friday’s and Saturday’s losses to the Dust Devils.
- Check out my most recent article about Richard Jones and his response to the Hawks Military Appreciation Night.
Blogs to come…
- Danny Keefe Top Chef Video
- Reaction to the End of the Season
Droppings from the Nest, September 3rd
The Hawks were able to pull out a win last night in 9th inning, saving fans from extra innings. Runey Davis hit the game-winning single, leading the Hawks to a 4-3 victory over the Spokane Indians.
Now to the droppings:
- The Idaho-Press Tribune recaps last night’s close game.
- The Idaho Statesman notes last night’s end to the Hawks’ six-game losing streak.
- Matt Swain with WrigleyBound has a bit about former Hawk Tyler Colvin.
DON’T FORGET: The Hawks game starts at 3 p.m. today. Anybody wearing blue and orange or BSU gear will get a $2 discount on their tickets.
Also, the Hawks are sponsoring a FREE shuttle to
Bronco stadium for the first 47 people that have a Hawks ticket for the
September 3rd game. You must RSVP in advance with the Hawks office at
322-5000 to get on the shuttle. The service will take fans to and from
Bronco Stadium, and you can park in the Hawks lot that night.
And
if you can’t catch the game in person, stay after the Hawks game for
the big football post-game party in the Hawks Nest starting at 7 p.m.
Drink specials and appetizer specials will be available for everyone,
there will be three large televisions broadcasting the game and you
don’t even need a Hawks ticket to get into the party!!
Hope to see you there!
Droppings from the Nest, August 29th-31st
A quick weekend recap to get to, but first I need to go over some new players. Four pitchers and outfielder Francisco Guzman joined the team on Saturday in Yakima. Three of the pitchers, Steve Grife (26th Round), Austin Kirk (3rd Round) and Brooks Raley (6th Round) are all out of this year’s draft class while fourth pitcher South Korean Dae-Eun Rhee is rehabbing from the Peoria Chiefs.
On to the droppings:
- The Idaho Press-Tribune recaps the Hawks past three games, Friday’s loss to Spokane, Saturday’s loss to Tri-City and Sunday’s win over the Dust Devils. Additionally, they gave us some love for our shuttle service for the upcoming BSU/UofO game on Thursday.
- The Idaho Statesman looks at the Hawks’ elimination from the post season, their six-game losing streak and last night’s win.
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.
Droppings from the Nest, August 15th-18th
It seems like towards the end of any long homestand I get bogged down with other things and my blog suffers. So naturally I have some catching up to do–in more ways than one.
I know I’ve been promising some great video from the past week and I’ve been working through some technical difficulties to get it up and ready. Just bear with me a little longer–I only have one more video to load and edit.
Now let’s rehash those droppings I’ve missed:
- The Wall Street Journal looks at the rise of international baseball and chooses our very own Hak-Ju Lee to profile.
- The Idaho Statesman has had some great stories these past few days, including a recap of the Hawks win in which AquaSox pitcher, manager were ejected and benches cleared, a feature on our GM Todd Rahr, a look at former Hawks manager Steve McFarland’s evaluation of current manager Casey Kopitzke, a examination of lefties in baseball, a recap of the Hawks longest game of the year, their preparation for the arrival of Spokane and last night’s first win of the series,
- The Idaho Press-Tribune also ran some great stories this weekend: the Press-Tribune looks at Friday’s benches-clearing game, talk to some of the guys about their rare off-day on Sunday, Spokane Indians pitcher and former Timberline pitcher Braden Tullis’ return to Boise, and the Hawks’ fundraiser for MS tonight.
- Zach Wolken of KTVB Channel 7 recaps last night’s 5-1 win over the Sopkane Indians and Tom Scott talks about Hak-Ju Lee’s feature in the Wall Street Journal in his blog Scott Slant.
Droppings from the Nest, August 14th
Another great game for the Hawks last night with a 8-7 win over the Everett AquaSox that came all the way down to the wire. I’ll let our “droppings” fill you in on the details:
- Chris Langrill of the Idaho Statesman spends the night as “Ball Dude” and also manages a recap of last night’s game.
- The Idaho Press-Tribune notes Runey Davis’ walk-off single that led to last night’s win.
Tonight is Humphrey’s Birthday! Happy Birthday Humph!! Humphrey’s buddy Rumble is throwing a party for Humphrey at the stadium tonight so check out all of their mascot buddies. And if you want to bring your favorite mascot a gift, the Hawks are collecting non-perishable food items for the Idaho Food Bank.
Yesterday, the team prepared for the food drive and Humphrey, Gang Green and pitchers Su-Min Jung and Trey McNutt volunteered their time at the food bank. Video and pictures will be posted soon!
