Start Trosky at 2nd tomorrow. Give TB some time to relax and reset. No drop off defensively and maybe a bonus hit or two.

Thanks for the pbp messi.
I gotta say, usually it takes a day or 2 for posts to “not age well”. Today it was an hour. A few posters got over their skis, worse than the players and coaches they were calling out. It’s baseball. We are pretty darn good. I’m gonna enjoy the ride and hope for a series win tomorrow. Go BEAVS!

If Trosky can hit,I would like to see him at ss. Not much of a bat in Dernette at the bottom of the order. Barely above the mendoza line.

Go BEAVS! The fan experience is all about riding the constant waves of the game. Don’t expect a lot of non-emotional response to good or bad Lolol. Humans are also built to find patterns and since fans don’t need to be accurate or know anything they can make trends out of 3 pitches! |

Sometimes the pendulum can swing from one extreme to the other in those same 3 pitches.(or posts) |

Not sure why Meckler is trying to steal up 8 runs in the 9th. Kind of a bush league move. I think we wanted to see what their catcher could do. All the other steal attempts were without throws. He made a great throw to get Meckler. Maybe it was a little unnecessary but hopefully was with a purpose. |

I believe he got a short lecture after if MP's comments were taken correctly. In any case OSU knows the season stats. Utah is LAST in preventing stolen bases... opponents are nsuccessful 82% of the time. A 18% success rate on D vs steals is LL level. Just was zero reason to run there. |

A few days ago I looked up double play stats compared to past seasons thinking we have fewer this year. At today's rate we'll be just fine. I’d rather have the strikeouts, pop ups, and ground outs. Double plays are nice for when we’re in trouble. |

Bush league? I don't think so. Should they quit playing hard because they are up by 8? Should they swing with their eyes shut? Once on first base should meckler jog to second in the event the guy behind him hits the ball? You can never score enough. If I remember weren't we up by around 10 runs against Nevada and they tied us and then went ahead thankfully we won in extra innings.

It’s one thing if it’s in the third inning. It was the 9th inning. All your other musings are not even close to what happened with Meckler. Obviously, you’ve never played. |

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. |

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. |
