That’s pretty much the same as us. I don't think we are all that great a hitting team. We have excellent pitching and defense. Absolutely nothing about the ducks baseball team worries/scares me. Just kinda weird. We’re #1 in conference and 36 in D1. |

Not so much against us cause we have great pitching. Against a team with not great pitching those dudes will put up 10 a game. The ucks have scored almost 9 a game against non league teams about 6 in league games. They don't deserve the accolades some are giving. Well, the sports world loves offense, and the Ducks are good hitters. Did you see their lineup? Pretty much everyone is above .300. This late in the year, that’s pretty remarkable. No easy outs. Their pitching is weak, but they are missing two starters. They will be tough, but pitching matters in the postseason. |

Maybe the ducks will score all of three runs today and obliterate their average score against us of 2.5. By the way we are in essence missing two starters also.

The Duck are a far better team under this coach. The guy did show us respect and his kids can hit. He admitted we mostly hate each other but wants to play against the very best. As to the BS between the kids never like to see that kind of reaction. Anyone who has played or Coached the game knows you always run up against some real P+icks and kids find ways to send them friendly messages. I doubt Brown started that match nor was he officially allowed to yak at the Quack. agree about the BS between the teams. Always thought better to ignore it than engage and lower yourself to their level. Don’t give them that respect, never punch down |

We’re #1 in conference and 36 in D1. Oregon State is second in the Pac-12 in batting average and 31st in the country. I have heard that the Pac-12 has a lot of pitchers' parks and that hitting stats in the Pac-12 do not exactly lend themselves to apples-to-apples comparisons to nationwide hitting stats. |

Some on this board have said the ucks will be a tough out in the pac12 tourney, they got dangerous hitters, blah, blah blah. In four games against us they have scored 10 runs. I like my chances against any team that scores 2.5 per game. The Pac12 tourney is held in a bit different climate, and they can hit. A ton of outs have been very loud and I'd rather not see them after Sunday. They're solid everywhere, but the mound. And, unlike under George they play with a lot more emotion, seem to have a ton more fun playing the game. They'll have to win most games scoring runs, 6, 7 plus with their staff. But, on the converse, OSU's bats haven't exactly lit up an inferior staff, getting 25 free passes and 30 K's and being +9 over (4) games isn't exactly impressive. Wins are wins, but vs a staff who lost both their Friday and Saturday starters, not to return, 4.8 runs per given all the free baserunners is a bit scary looking ahead into the postseason. The better team has won. It's been good baseball in sh%tty weather. OSU is 4-0 (much needed after last season's 1-5) so far, awesome. I get the whole "hated rivals" stuff, but disparaging an opponent only diminishes your team's successes. |

In general it is BS, incited or not. Act like you've made big plays before, be excited WITH teammates, not AT opponents. You get the same "pump", send the same message without lowering yourself to that level, and in my experience it infuriates the opposition more. |

I have heard that the Pac-12 has a lot of pitchers' parks and that hitting stats in the Pac-12 do not exactly lend themselves to apples-to-apples comparisons to nationwide hitting stats. Was just looking at runs per game. It’s what SoT was using. If you look at post season scores pac schools usually exceed their season stats for offense and teams are typically under average from other conferences. Plenty of exceptions but if you take the time you see the trend that PAC 12 teams tend to have deep bullpens compared to national average. |

Not interested in comparing them to us. I was just stating facts about Oregon. If you are dismissing their hitting, then you haven’t been watching the same games I have. I give credit to our pitchers for keeping us in the games. I don’t take anything away from Oregon’s hitters. They are decent and they can string together hits as they have shown. We will have to play a good game to get the W again. No doubt in my mind. You can make light of it, but if the Beaver players feel that way, we don’t have a chance. |

Some people just are going to hate on rivals and call them overrated no matter. I still have friends that dish on the over rated UO natty football team cause they lost to Auburn. They went undefeated and played in the championship, wtf lol. |

I was driving home after teaching class listening to the game on a duck radio station. It was just after halftime. It was the only time I’ve ever listened to Duck announcers, and I loved it. Just about crying. |

Only time I have was when they opened against LSU. Was on a road trip and the wife was really excited scout the game. We turned it off after a quarter because we had no clue what was going on. They went an entire quarter without saying the score. Pretty sure they were either brain dead or day drunk haha
