No dislike here for Stanford. They deserve respect for their performance and a tip of the cap for now. They found a good one in their freshman RF #6. His throw to the plate in the first game prevented a Beaver win and I believe it was his double that drove in their lone yet winning run in the tenth.

Another team’s players used foul language while we were trying to concentrate? That’s terrible. Someone needs to contact the Conference HQ.
This is the Women’s Gymnastics board, right?

I listened mostly on the radio, and it did seem that Parker kept referring to some borderline behavior by Stanford pitchers/dugout....this probably explains Bazzana's emotional response when he made that big play late in Game 2? What I did find interesting was that the teams didn't shake hands after Game 3....which is pretty telling. I'm wondering if the coaches met and just agreed that a pretty volatile situation could occur if so. The lack of hand shaking doesn't appear limited to the recent Stanford game itself. It almost looks like its a carry over from last season to keep the players as distanced as possible when able to do so. Was there any hand shaking after the Irvine series? WSU? Arizona State? Please, any one, correct me if I'm wrong here. I've also noticed the same thing in college basketball games, once the handshaking stopped, it doesn't seem to have been picked up by everyone. Personally, I hope it gets picked back up. Ah...maybe so. I was just going off what Parker was hinting at, but maybe you're right..... |

It's been pretty much SOP to not have post game interactions with the opponent. Plus, MP was pouting most of the last 4 innings so he was a bit biased! |

His throw to the plate in the first game prevented a Beaver win and I believe it was his double that drove in their lone yet winning run in the tenth. What I saw was a throw that was nearly 10 feet up the line from the plate. The catcher whirled around and tagged the runner out alright but to be a great throw it should have been closer to the plate, IMHO. Thought Furd got a bit lucky with the timing. Had our guy run a wider route to the plate I don't think the catcher makes that play. |

If the our 3B coach reads the runner's actions before his eyes move to the RF's handle of the ball he holds the runner and he scores the next hitter. Not sure it was "luck", but taking advantage of the opportunity given. |

Had our guy run a wider route to the plate I don't think the catcher makes that play. That's what I saw too but we missed an opportunity on that play. The runner at first didn't advance to second when the throw was made up the line from home. With a contested play at the plate, there was no time to wheel around and throw to second especially if the runner was headed to second when it was apparent the throw was headed home. The next hit would have brought a run in because that hit advanced the runner from first to third. |

The fact that Stanford doesn't wear Orange and Black is reason enough not to like them.
But the testiness of the players, coaches, and fans is simply a statement to the value of the competition, in my opinion. They really wanted the win over us. It has been said before that the high ranking puts a target on our back.
Let them come. Let them do everything they can to beat us. If we deserve it, we won't falter. If we falter, we'd better learn from it and look better next week.

Had our guy run a wider route to the plate I don't think the catcher makes that play. I would call it a very strong effective throw from the deeper half of RF. For accuracy, the throw appeared in line with the cutoff, looked like it went directly over his head to me (another vantage angle may prove otherwise). Going with what I saw, it either tailed from there or the cutoff was not inline like he's supposed to be. Not sure I agree on the wider path would have made a difference. The way he rounded 3rd adjusting wider after the round would have caused him to be a step slower. Besides, the tag happened in foul grass territory to begin with, how much wider could he have been and still found the plate? |

Running on Stanford RF Brian Montgomery isn't advisable. Mississippi Gatorade POY in 2021, Prep All American and highly placed draft selection. Stanford admit kept him out of Proball. He is also a pitching prospect with a consistet 94-96 mile per hour fastball.
Coaching tip: Your best arm will usually be in RF, and not CF. Reason? RF has the long throw over to 3B.
Baseball coaching lesson: "It is easier to run yourself out an inning than to run yourself into an inning"

Rifle of an arm. However, earlier in the game, his rifle arm resulted in a throw to 2nd that was 10 feet over the cut-off. 10 feet over the 2B. 3B was in a good back-up position or the ball would still be ricocheting around Goss.
