What extra week? There was never a week of rest, the conference schedule just extended to this weekend. Three game set is longer than a minimum 4 and potential 5 game tourney. Right? Oregon is going to come out of this very well-rested!  So, the Ducks are going to win a National Championship, I guess? This is not the Big 12 or SEC Tournaments. Only four of the teams play four or more games. Plus Oregon State only plays more than in a typical week, if the Beavers lose one of the next two. |

I loved baseball before I learned to love women. "Play Ball!" “OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really Turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for Second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the Throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he Comes, he's out! No, wait, safe-safe at second base, this kid Really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the Plate, here's the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he's got, He's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at Third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out There, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher Glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third Base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze Play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!” |

Spud, I'm cool with your position, I don't entirely agree with it, but I do see where your coming from. On another note/ subject- Thanks for reintroducing Budweiser into my "beer inventory." I disliked it in the late 1980's for some reason, but because of you, its now a staple during Beaver football & baseball games. "I like what I like"😀 Awesome!! Ha ha! Having one as I type, although I’m somewhat worried I’ll wake up at 2 with a warm one! T M I |

Either will be in a new location, a place with multiple diamonds or completely scrapped! I'm hearing a lot of complaining about the tournament. Guess what? I don't care what the complainers think needs to be done- "I like the tournament." If the Beavs are playing at 9:00 AM, I become an early bird. If the Beavs play at 11:00 PM, I become a night owl. I'm extremely "flexible" when it comes to Beaver Baseball. Last night was the first time all season when I just had to go to bed during a Beavs game. I get up early for work. I definitely think there should be two fields. Problem solved. |

I saw the first pitch which was a good one. Happy to see the morning result! First game I missed. Idk wtf they are doing. Any business owners here thinking advertising during a 10:15 first pitch mid week game is a responsible use of funds? |

Could be used in situations where they really have to get extra games in I suppose.  |

Short outfield and very little room between home plate and the backstop. Salt river field and Sloan park are 6 miles away. Hohokam is 8 miles. All first class major league spring training facilities |

Just curious is the purpose of the baseball league schedule to determine who the best 8 teams are or is it to determine who the best team is. The 30 or so games played in the league schedule are enough to determine who the best team is. League tournaments in any sport are just ridiculous.

Maybe loser's bracket is a wiffle ball tournament? |

Yeah I saw none of it. Had to be up by 5 AM and am working late tonight so I couldn't stay up. Why not change games to 7 innings instead of 9. You don't completely tax your pitching staff and the games end sooner. MLB does it with double headers, so why not do that for Tourney games? |

All MLB games are back to nine innings. The 7-inning DHs were because of Covid.

Imagine if there were no tournaments...our basketball team would have a new head coach right now. |
