Hole seems to have late inning rallys often. They are a good squad, and prolly should be in the top 25......for once I feel like they might actually be underrated. They're hitting the ball very well. They also have some long ball pop. That bothers me a little bit, the ducks having a good offensive club this year. I didn’t watch the game…green and yellow hurts my eyes….But it looks like Utah’s relief wasn’t sharp at all. Second pitcher threw about 50% strikes. Not gonna win a game that way. |

I'm not necessarily reading to much into the ducks taking the Utah series. Its more that they had a rough opening series against San Diego and have been muck better since(They lost 3 of 4). That better play resulted in them taking 2 of 3 at Stanford a week ago. |

Way to go Mason! 9-11 with 2 walks and four doubles on the weekend! Way to make a statement! If I am Canham that Mason is at 3b the rest of the season regardless of any potential slumps (it's baseball, there always slumps).
Too bad the Sunday game closer has spoiled the euphoria the last two weekends... got to get that sussed!

Now we just need production at SS….. Dernedde is worth the drop off. Everytime they take him out defense drops off. Idk why they keep playing McDowell. He’s better this year but he can’t hit in pressure situations. Having him start over Fuchs is crazy. |

Boyd, Melton and McDowell roaming the outfield together is something pretty special to watch. |

It seems like both McDowell and Fuchs have had difficulty finding a workable approach to succesful hitting during their OSU careers.
Good question: Why not play Fuchs over McDowell?
Fuchs has played the 2019,'21 and '22 seasons at OSU. He has appeared in 55 games with 32 starts. His career slash is
.215/ .320/ .323. He has recorded 150 plate appearances, 30 hits in 130 official AB. He has hit 5 doubles, 3 home runs, scored 19 runs, and driven in 21 runs. He has drawn 18 BB, 2HBP and has 42 K's. His BB:K Ratio is 1:2.33 His K:AB Ratio is 1:3.09. Greg has some power potential but 3 HR's in 130 AB over 3 seasons (all 3 hit in 2021) isn't a determining factor in playing him. His high strike out rate is also seemingly overlooked, and may be a trade off for a left handed bat with power potential, although McDowell also hits from the left side.

McDowell strikes out under pressure often. Fuches delivers under pressure often. I have no idea if there’s a stat for hits with 2 outs and guys on base but my memory says Fuches wins that one. When Wheeler is back I’d say put Meckler or Casper in the OF. Both are great hitters and can play the position. |

Not sure about Wheeler .....that type of eye injury can take a while to recover from and even then, his vision may not be the same |

Is Guerra the ultimate streak hitter?
Since his excellent results, beginning Friday of this past weekend, he has now struck out Five out of his last Six at bats.
He's a true Freshman, so time will tell.

Now we just need production at SS….. At least our shortstop has A hit in the last two games, unlike our first baseman, centerfielder, and leftfielder. |

Somebody reminded Mason, "Hey . . . .you're a freshman. freshman don't hit like that".
The jump from the preps to college takes some in-game adjustments. Mason is starting to see more change in speeds, more soft stuff and pitchers that live on the extreme edges of the strike zone.
Today he was caught guessing a couple of times.
It's a learning process - he'll catch on.
