Weber trots around the bases like Grenier
Love the gray bills
Noticed on the highlights how many beaver made players were drafted/made big leagues. Is that a trendy stadium feature?

I wonder if the pubs still think hole is a regional host? I mean I know it's one weekend, they can't be happy with their pitching depth.....they won't be able to outscore everyone with 12 runs a game.
I think our series exposed them a bit......which is pretty sweet actually.

However, one of their relievers kept us quiet for a bit, so he might get the Day 3 start. Who knows? They certainly don't have the pitching to go deep into playoffs. And decent pitching kept their bats pretty quiet. |

The game was at PK Park, not Goss. I know it was at PK Park. The first thing I thought when seeing the signs was how those players were born out of beaver baseball success and also wondered if it's a trend among other programs to post those numbers at their stadium. |

That would explain why the 2nd base ump’s call was so late (for a balk well after the pitch was delivered and ball/strike call was made). Also why it’s in the score line as a “wild pitch”. Works for me (although I’m always impressed by Judge’s certitude). It's possible, but I rewatched that play several times and I could not see the ball getting stuck in any of the catcher's gear. Weird play, for sure. What I saw was Weber go down to block a low ball that made contact with wet turf prior to block. As he pops up to his feet he transfers ball to throwing hand and as he's taking a step forwards holds the wet ball out to ref. The only thing I've ever seen catchers inerference called for is when a back swing makes contact with any part of catchers glove/gear. Not that case here. The balk call came after ball was received by Wilson and he was on his feet. The only thing that makes sense to me is, if there are runners on base and ball is live, rule might state there has to be a clearly signaled request for time out and subsequent granting of time out and or it will be perceived as a trick to induce a runner to relax their guard while you try to throw them out and therefore a ___________something infraction (not sure balk is the right call). |

I think our series exposed them a bit......which is pretty sweet actually. You should see some projections dropping here pretty soon. I think you see Stanford and UCLA hosting for sure in the projections. However, it is hard to see who passes Oregon. If the Ducks were on a host line last week, they still are this week. And why? #6 overall non-conference SOS. You don't have enough conference games to wash that out yet. Of course, you may see that take a hit with Oregon scheduled to play two against San Francisco at PK. The Ducks better be hoping that those games rain out. Teams with an RPI below say about 180, you just cannot win. Win and your RPI edges down. Lose and your RPI tanks. Sweeping Gonzaga would help Oregon State some but not enough to move up an RPI line, but a loss would probably result in a seven or eight spot drop. Having said that, at season's end, the wins might actually help a ton, because they will drown out the Cal Polys, Nevadas, Seattles, Minnesotas, Western Carolinas, New Mexicos, and Coppin States, especially the three RPI-destroying losses to Cal Poly, Nevada, and New Mexico. Plus, Gonzaga still has a sneaky chance to develop a decent RPI with that late-season series against Oklahoma. |

Based on what we saw, I can't imagine hole taking two of three from Furd, even at home. Furd hitters should feast. Now, that won't kill their RPI, but they will fall down the conf rankings |

Based on what we saw, I can't imagine hole taking two of three from Furd, even at home. Furd hitters should feast. Now, that won't kill their RPI, but they will fall down the conf rankings I am curious how both teams handle their midweek games. #22 Texas Tech (with a worse RPI than Oregon State) is playing at Sunken Diamond today and tomorrow. Oregon has the two games with San Francisco starting tomorrow. PK seems to be more of a house of horrors for teams without large travelling visiting fanbases. And Stanford notably lacks one. I will add that the Cardinal dropped two of three at Dedeaux and split with a rather uninspiring Oklahoma team in Norman. And by the time that Stanford finishes the trip to Eugene, they will have played 10 road games in a 17-day period with only the two games against Texas Tech breaking up what would otherwise be a 10-game road stand. And it is Texas Tech midweek at Sunken Diamond, rather than say a San Francisco. Stanford did not have a mid-week game leading up to the Oregon State series and so had four straight off days to rest up and prepare and then edged the Beavs by a run on Friday and Sunday after Ben Ferrer's two worst pitching performances ever (mixed in with one actually solid game on Saturday). All that to say that I don't think that Stanford is all that great to begin with. And rather than a fully-rested Cardinal team at Sunken Diamond that the Beavers had to contend with, the Ducks get a team that will have played 12 games in 17 days and 10 away from Sunken Diamond. As usual, Oregon State plays teams at the exact wrong time. We'll see. |

They have a good lineup, but I think they are overrated |
