Reminds me of the last time that Hjerpe pitched in Arizona in May: 3 IP, 7 ER, 6 H, 4 HR, 1 HBP, 3 K's 0-1 Unfortunately, he probably has to throw one more game in Arizona in a couple of weeks. After that, his two remaining starts are hopefully back in the friendly confines of Goss. Holy crap. That’s a really bad stat line. Hard to believe it’s the same dude. Hjerpe in Arizona in 2022: 4.1 IP, 5 R, 3 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 1 WP, 1 HBP I went back to read what I wrote last year in bold: All seven runs in Phoenix were scored on four home runs (three of which were hit with two outs).
Hjerpe tends to be a fly ball pitcher. (His GO/AO is 1.10 right now, which is not a good number at the next level.) The problem was that Oregon State only caught one of the five fly balls, with four landing over the fence. It was 94 degrees with 9% humidity at first pitch. Balls would fly at least 10-15' further at that temperature with the extra elevation than a ball hit on a 60-degree day in Corvallis. I think that Ethan Long's second home run would have been out in pretty much any park (maybe Comerica keeps it in), but I think that the other three would have been playable at Goss.
You know what is crazy? Hjerpe is even more of a fly ball pitcher in 2022. 0.98, an even worse number at the next level. Strikeouts are up. If Hjerpe can keep that up, GO/AO matters a lot less. I do not how to account for wind, but Tucson is 1,292-feet higher than Phoenix, more than 136% more than the difference between Corvallis and Phoenix. The conditions in Tucson at first pitch would generally allow a ball to travel roughly 12% further than the conditions at first pitch in Corvallis last week. That is rarely good for a fly ball pitcher. |

Big win against a quality team even with a couple of gaffes and the ace not having usual command. Reminds me of the last time that Hjerpe pitched in Arizona in May: 3 IP, 7 ER, 6 H, 4 HR, 1 HBP, 3 K's 0-1 Unfortunately, he probably has to throw one more game in Arizona in a couple of weeks. After that, his two remaining starts are hopefully back in the friendly confines of Goss. Um, I'd say his next two starts will be in Goss. Don't forget about his starts in Omaha. |

You are quite right. |

Actually unless they don't start him in the tourney... one will be in Goss and the next in Scottsdale. |

It sure looked like AZ early approach was to expect and hit a FB on the first pitch. They were hitting Coop hard. He had one really good inning when he kept the ball down. If you don't have a slider going against these hitting teams you are in deep trouble. Kmatz needs his breaking balls on Sat. Just saying

12 runs. Imagine how many they would have scored had they been fully hydrated.
💧💧💧
(just kidding).
BTW, I was watching the game on Pac-12 network while listening to Parker on Varsity network and watching the live stats feed in the web. The live stats feed was about two pitches ahead of the others. So as Forrester took his first swing with bases loaded in the eighth, I saw OSU’s score flip from 8 to 12 in the live stats, and I knew a grand salami was on the way.

I think Jakes nasty breaking ball is going to be pretty effective. Good news is a our effective guys left in the bullpen are Boisvert, Brown, Carpenter, Hunter, Lattery (if available), Reid, Townsend and Verburg…that’s a lot of gas for 2 games! Didn’t even count some of good guys with a bit of command issue like Hibbard, Lawson, Quinn, and Thornstien. |

That is rarely good for a fly ball pitcher. Good data on the conditions, thank you. It really only should have been two earned runs Conner was charged with last night when you consider the full impact of the booted double play ball. I understand that is not how it works. The man in blue behind the plate was of no help either. Just one of those rare occasions where things did not seem to be going our way right up until the Dukart at bat and the Forrester bomb. We come away with an important win despite the struggles. |

To the many physicians out there: Boyd was listening intently during the post-game on-field 'huddle'. When it concluded he raised his arm, and extended it forward in unison with his teammates....I didn't notice which arm, but with your diagnostic skills, would that even matter? And then he walked away pretty 'normally' off the field. SO: it is broken  He took a 90+ mph pitch off the back of his hand while gripping his bat. That is a lot of force. It swelled up big, and immediately. It may be soft tissue only, or it may be a fracture. The only way to know for sure is imaging. |

At one point during the game Mike Parker was calling that there were two errors for the Beavers. The box score now only shows one. Can anyone provide the explanation?
Also, THANK YOU Messi for the play by play. I know it takes a ton of effort to get into the post and edit repeatedly. Awesome.
GO BEAVS

Listening to Lopez I think Arizona won I may be crazy, but I thought he did a pretty good job, all things considered. He was pretty effusive with his praise of not only the team we had on the field, but the overall program and culture. |

He knows what He is talking about. Arizonas Manager ML Manager and 4 Years with Oakland with our strength and conditioning Coach. Also Portland Beavers when Parker was calling the Portland Beaver Games. Can listen to Oarker all night on Baseball. And Football too.

I thought the broadcast was fine. Plenty of baseball knowledge. And plenty of compliments to go around for players on both teams.

He def booted the gimme double play and he also misplayed another sharply hit ground ball......if they took an error away it was the sharply hit ball.....both were typically routine plays for Dernedde |
