6 of our 9 remaining Pac-12 games are against a 13-28-1 combined record. The game against Grand Canyon tomorrow. And then seven straight against Pac-12 opponents at Goss, including a midweek game against Oregon. The next six weekend games are against opponents with a combined 13-28-1 record. If Oregon State is going to make a play for a Corvallis Regional, you have a maximum of four losses left before the Pac-12 Tournament. Fewer than that would obviously be better. And a monsoon during that Western Carolina series would probably be a blessing. |

Bullpen ERA for ASU series. 6.12 Hmmmm... don't think that's correct. If I read correctly it was 7.2 IP 14 ER before today. Closer to a ERA of 13.5 With 20 ER in 13.1 IP |

Doesn't seem very realistic, even if we only lose a couple more games. |

Pitchers and hitters both had tough a weekend. The staff got really pounded for the first time this season. While we scored runs we left 34 runners on base compared to 20 for the devils. In that kind of hitting environment it wasn’t good enough

In that kind of hitting environment it wasn’t good enough We blew leads in both Sat/sun games and almost fri game as well......the series loss is on our pitching staff.....10 runs should be enough. Their hitting was better than our pitching. |

In that kind of hitting environment it wasn’t good enough And, with the weather being 20+ better than most recent home games and Zona the better hitting team than ASU!? Since their ASU series they are averaging about 10 runs per. It'll take far better pitching at home than we saw in Phoenix to win this series. The Zona staff gives up a ton of hits but, not many freebies. Not sure the thought process behind the GC visit pinned between the Arizona schools? |

And a monsoon during that Western Carolina series would probably be a blessing. Is a Corvallis regional even a possibility at this point? Doesn't seem very realistic, even if we only lose a couple more games. Oregon State's RPI right now is 33. The Beavers need to improve that to about 24 or better to get into the Regional discussion. (They usually give West Coast teams a break on RPI for Regional host spots.) RPI-wise, to be in a good spot for a Corvallis Regional, Oregon State probably needs to go 13-2 over the final 15 of the regular season. That would get the Beavers to 40 wins. Rainouts the weekend of that Western Carolina series probably help the cause and might allow for an extra loss or two. Short of there, Oregon State needs to make some noise in the Pac-12 Tournament. With at least eight wins each, both Arizona schools could wind up with some great RPIs. I do not know how ideal it would be to play Arizona State in Scottsdale, though. Arizona and Oregon might be the two best opponents to root for, unless Oregon State can move into the top three. If the season ended today, Oregon State would play Arizona State and Wazzu in Scottsdale. The Pac-12 is off to its best start in at least 25 years. The top eight teams in the Pac-12 should all have very good RPIs come Pac-12 Tournament time, which means that Oregon State stands a great opportunity to make some real RPI noise in Scottsdale, if they are close to a Regional host berth. |
