How many runs were we down when we came back in the 9th vs Cal earlier this year? I think it was 6. I think we were also up 11 in a game and in Reno and actually trailed later in that game...? Meckler was called out. (Not sure he was). Actually helped them get out of the inning. I doubt Utah was offended, sure no sign of it in reaction to the play on the field. Based on the outcome of the play, they probably wished we made more attempts. How many runs are enough and when, before you take your foot off the gas? It is not like we were playing a high school team out there. Mike Reilly proved over and over they you don’t take the foot off the gas Never heard of Mike Reilly. I think he might’ve a QB in the CFL. |

It is not like we were playing a high school team out there. Much different when it’s the 9th inning. We still lost that Cal game and the Reno game was in the 6th inning. Obviously, you didn’t see MC talking to Meckler after the play. Not sure how it's obvious to you that I didn't see MC talking to Meckler, because I did not see or hear that conversation. Did you? If so, I bet it was a good one. I do know that if you sit right behind the OSU dugout while at Utah you can hear and see those conversations. |

What game did the Beavers ever lose under Riley, taking their "foot off the gas?" |

That’s gonna be a box score deep dive. He lost plenty of games where we were up at half time. I’ll message you when I get time to get data. |

I’ll message you when I get time to get data. Losing games where they were ahead at HT is not the same thing as putting their "foot on the gas". Are you going to count all the games where OSU had like 1-2 point lead at HT and lost as part of your "deep dive" to prove your point? "putting their foot on the gas" would be trying to score when the game is already in hand, like up 28 points with a minute left, or up 56-0 in the 4th Qtr and still throwing the ball and trying to run up the score, etc. Simply having a HT lead is different. |

I’ll message you when I get time to get data. I'll help you. Oregon State's biggest second half lead that resulted in a loss under Riley was Oregon State's 26-13 lead with 10:37 left in the third quarter against Arizona State in 2007. I believe that all other losses are a lead of 10 points (and that's the 2012 Alamo Bowl) or fewer. From my memory, there is no game. I believe the Riley "foot of the gas" losses to be a myth. It is a frequently cited one, though. And I have often been perplexed as to why the myth exists. |

Woah salty man. No I was going to bin it in to categories and check the box score to see how much backups played. I’d look through the play by plays but they are hard to find on historic s%#t. |

How could Riley take his foot off the gas? When many Riley coached games were one or two score affairs. He was the master of not getting separation on an opponent, but also not losing separation. Now lets get this thread back to baseball. |

I wish someone would publish these unwritten rules of baseball, because until it is done and agreed upon these rules are arbitrary. Is it okay to steal in the playoffs up by 8 runs, what about if your bullpen is gassed? What if the score is 20-12 instead of 9-1? With baseball not having a time clock, I honestly can't see why it would ever be an issue to keep pressing to score more runs. It's not like Utah benched their best hitters and threw a pitcher out that hasn't pitched much this year. Besides we still have another game left with this team, if you can get the opposing team's pitcher to pitch to more batters, that may weaker their pitching staff for the next game.
I know a couple weeks ago in MLB, a team was up by about 8 runs in 7th inning and a player for the team that was winning bunted for a base hit since the defense did a shift and left the 3rd base line open. The opposing manager was very upset and that was with 9 outs remaining. It's getting ridiculous with these unwritten rules. If you are waving the white flag, then substitute out most of your best players and bring in a lower level pitcher then the winning team can let off the gas, but until then keep the gas on.

I’ll message you when I get time to get data. You are going to be disappointed in your research, besides the Alamo bowl there are hardly any late collapse games by Riley. He was generally genius in frustrating the fans while salting away games with long time consuming drives that sometimes led to no points, but took the air out of the ball and led to victory. |
