Maybe next year? That’s all.

The one thing that I know for sure is that the bone should be thrown in the trash or buried in the back yard.
Five losses in the last six games is more than enough evidence.

We’re a decent team but we haven’t been able to gel at the end of the season so I expect we will limp into the regional on the road but I’m highly doubtful that we can emerge out of it unless our pitching gets their act together

Would be surprised if we make a regional. Not an NCAA tournament team imo. The league in my opinion is down this year. Arizona,ASU,Stanford,osu and Ucla are mediocre this year. UO isn't a top 10 team from what I've seen. This team at osu is very inconsistent with little star power. Coaching has been suspect. On to 2022...

Hmmm give tons of free passes to the best offensive team in the conference.....good way to get blown out

Oregon State has now lost five-of-six games for the second time this season. A fun fact. Oregon State has not lost five-of-six twice in the same season since 2000 (unless you count the Beavers losing 11-of-12 in 2010). Since Oregon State lost seven straight in 2004, the Beavers have lost five-of-six seven times (or eight depending upon how you count the 1-11 streak in 2010). The last time that Oregon State lost five-of-six was earlier this year. The Beavers rebounded to win the next five in a row. The last time that Oregon State lost six-of-seven was 2016. The Beavers responded by winning five of the final six before being hosed by Meggs. Oregon State lost six-of-seven in 2011 to close out the regular season. The Beavers responded by sweeping the Corvallis Regional. Oregon State lost 11-of-12 in 2010. The Beavers responded by winning the next five-of-six. Oregon State lost five-of-six in 2008. The Beavers won the final three but did not receive an invite to the Tournament. Oregon State lost five-of-six in 2007. The Beavers won three of the next five and then won 10 straight to win a National Championship. Outside of the two 1-5 streaks, Oregon State is 30-9 in the other 39 games. |

UO isn't a top 10 team from what I've seen. This team at osu is very inconsistent with little star power. Coaching has been suspect. On to 2022... Arizona just beat Oregon State 12-4. The Wildcats look like a gimme National Seed at this point. Nate Yeskie has cobbled together just enough pitching for the Wildcats to overwhelm pretty much everyone with their bats. Arizona has lost only two series on the year, one each at Stanford (lost game one in 13 innings) and at UCLA (the Bruins won game 1 on a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth). Outside of the series loss at Sunken Diamond, the Wildcats have won 15 straight. Oregon is a gimme regional host. The Ducks have lost two series on the year, both on the road. The first was in Tucson and the second was a headscratcher in Pullman. Oregon has won eight straight. If you ignore the road trip to Pullman, the Ducks have won 10 straight, 14 of the past 15 (Oregon was a 10-inning loss away from sweeping UCLA), 18 of the past 20, and 23 of the past 26. Stanford looks a regional host as well to me, right now. Stanford lost the conference series with California in Berkeley last weekend (with the rubber game decided by a blown save walk-off California win), but that is the Cardinal's only weekend loss on the year, and the Cardinal have defeated the Bears twice in nonconference play. Arizona State has had a ton of injuries but still is formidable. The Devils' only series losses on the year are to Arizona, @ Oregon and Stanford. And the Cardinal series was decided in a 12-inning game. UCLA is very talented but wildly inconsistent. The Bruins lost the first two at Sunken Diamond. Since then, UCLA is 15-6 with two of the losses coming at PK Park. UCLA is one of two teams, who was able to stop Arizona on the season. Oregon State is easily in right now. The Beavers need to win two of the next five. Short of there, your prediction looks more probable. At this moment, the Pac-12 looks as deep as it has in any year since 2015, possibly deeper. I am not sure, if you are going to see four Pac-12 teams in Supers and two in Omaha like in 2012, but I would not bet against it. |

We will learn quite a bit in a couple of weeks. I hope I am shocked we make the Playoffs and do well. It will be very interesting to see what happens at the end of the season. I would not be shocked to see a mass exodus of kids through the Portal. Now that would be very troubling.
Where do you go when the Pitching Staff is getting worse and not better? Where do you go when your hitting is always an adventure?
Is it all the weather in Az. when they find amazing Freshman. Player of the Year, Berry of Arizona? Freshman?

The Pitching walks and batting practice location is frustrating to watch. No way are we worthy right now. I would expect lot’s of kids transferring out. Man Arizona was hyped and loud. We were striking out and not clutch. We had less chances because they did not walk a dozen guys. I have no problem with the coaches. We need guys that can throw strikes. 5 more games. If we lose them all we will be out.

Not sure I see a mass exodus.
This staff needs time and a bit more talent.
The pitching staff is a bit concerning.....something to monitor moving forward. The performance isn't matching the talent.

Walks and consistent end-game pitching collapses are absolutely killing us. Easy to blame the players, but there is a lot wrong with this team.

PB was in the stands at the game. 2. NY was in the wrong dugout. I still think that the pieces are there for a run. I really want to see Mitchy Slick put them together. He still has time to, but I have been unimpressed with Mitchy Slick so far. I thought that PB was a subpar coach, but Mitchy Slick, so far, has made PB look like Casey Stengel. |

I am not sure, if you are going to see four Pac-12 teams in Supers and two in Omaha like in 2012, but I would not bet against it. ASU has good bats, but terrible, terrible pitching. Surgeons have been busy. Should be toast in a regional. Arizona has even better bats, but just an arm or two better than ASU in pitching. Very poor pitching. They will win a regional at their own park. Super will be interesting. Hitting may not hide the pitching. As noted, UCLA has the talent to make a run, but which team shows up? Haven't seen Stanford.
