I am not surprised by seeing the score. All of the momentum was on the ASU side after the meltdown last night.

Hopefully the new conference commissioner implements a high standard for each institution when it comes to stream operations. Thanks for not showing the only offensive highlight of the night for OSU, ASsU

I don't follow it as close as I did in past years, but something just doesn't seem right with this Beavers squad.....well frankly with any since Casey left. I'm amazed that we're even thinking this is a playoff team? Maybe I'm missing something, quite possible, as it's just a passing casual observation, but these teams under Canham sure don't meet the eyeball test. We are 15 games over .500, and still will be at least three games over .500 in the Pac-12 no matter what happens tonight. So yes, we are an NCAA-tournament team. Are we missing something? Yes, the five players with first-round draft pick ability (Madrigal, Larnach, Adley, Grenier and Luke) and other MLB draft picks Kwan, Gretler, Malone, Chamberlain, Fehmel, Eisert, Gambrell and Pearce we had in 2017 and 2018. Throw in Zak Taylor, who is playing independent ball, and more than half of our 27-man weekend roster is playing/will play professionally. Two of them are already in MLB. That's a loaded team and it's absolutely stupid to think a new coach could assemble that much talent this quickly. We were awful in 2008, after the 2005-07 stars left. Somehow Pat Casey wasn't quite as good a coach without Barney, Buck, Gunderson, Canham, Nickerson et all.

ASU is playing well this season. It is amusing that Smith was on the chopping block after his first many seasons at ASU. Fans thought the talent was being wasted and players were leaving.

Did Saldago get booted. Probably done anyway. Just curious. Fiery guy. Was that the controversy?

We need a batting coach. We couldn't hit our way out of a wet paper bag. Actually the Beavers can get hits. They just can't get them when they really need them. The opponents seem to get them when needed. Like I have posted before...hardly matters how many hits you get if you can't get them when it matters. The last 2 weeks the offense has scored enough to win. Pitching has killed us and defence hasn’t helped.
