Getting hammered and give up 6 runs in the 7th kind tells the whole story. Just a crappy game.

Dorman genius status temporarily revoked? Earlier, people were complaining he didn't pull Sellers earlier. Not our day. It's baseball. Sellers does not deserve to be a starter. If he is the ace we are in a world of hurt. |

Bottom of the eighth for UCLA Boisvert in to pitch
Fly out to left, one away Strikeout, two away Base hit to center, one on Fielder's choice, runner out at second 6U
12-5 UCLA after 8

Agree on the Sellers comment. Just getting to 5 innings is a huge challenge for him now. He has had some very good outings earlier, always very high pitch counts. But frankly, your Friday starter ought to have a chance of pitching into the 6th. We’ve been spoiled with some tremendous Friday pitchers historically that regularly pitched 7-9 innings. You all remember them. This guy would need 130 pitches to make 6 innings as he is all over the place.

Wow. Jimenez has nothing tonight. Add him to the list. We haven't had pitching til before arizona state. Arizona is the Pac-12's best offense, averaging scoring 25 runs per series, and Oregon State held them to 15. That is the fewest runs that Arizona has scored in the past six weeks. Scoring has gone up with the temperature, which is to be expected. The bats get hot, when the weather does. |

That is the fewest runs that Arizona has scored in the past six weeks. Scoring has gone up with the temperature, which is to be expected. The bats get hot, when the weather does. True. But, even with the recent resurgence OSU is still last in conference BA, and now 4th in pitching ERA... getting smoked by a UCLA lineup hitting a few points higher. This team has/is just too inconsistent to be a viable top 16 seed. IMHO their only road to host is winning the Pac12 tourney. A lot of the "disappointment" on here seems based on unrealistic expectations. The only reason this team is approaching 40 wins, the ridiculously weak NC. But, for this type of team, again IMHO a #22-34 type overall seed, it allowed a post season appearance with a winning Pac12 record. Considering the key players OSU lost, the relative inexperience of many returners, coupled with some injuries... making the post season as a high 3 or mid/low 2 seed seemed like a solid season. Then take it from there. |

Then take it from there. Fourth in OBP and ninth in slugging Middle of the conference in run production. Oregon State is third in fewest runs allowed. UCLA has almost double the number of unearned runs. Oregon State is fourth in run delta behind USC, Stanford, and Arizona. Agreed that the Nonconference schedule is ridiculously weak. Still there will probably be at least three Regional Hosts, which are inferior to Oregon State. If the Beavs sweep into the Pac-12 Tournament, they deserve to be a top 16 team. Short of there, Oregon State needs to kill it in Scottsdale. |

Then take it from there. After a 1-5 start in conference where making the tournament was in question. I'll take a 2 seed without any complaints. We haven't had very much success in advancing to a Super Regional when we don't host a Regional, from a historical perspective.(2007 come to mind, but I don't recall any others) Canham was a game away in 2021 at the Fort Worth Regional. It won't be easy but all 16 Regional hosts aren't advancing to the Supers. "The game of baseball doesn't work that way." |

Last night, there was some griping when Hutchinson was pulled. TylerM has been very effective, and there were 3 left handed batters coming up in a row. The change made perfect sense to me. A righty submariner against 3 tough lefties. Make the change. Traditionally, the righty slinger has poorer splits against lefties by a fair margin. However, as noted in the linked study from MLB IN 2021, the righty slingers on average had better splits against lefty hitters than righty hitters. The authors noted that this was an oddity. Anyway, the article: baseballcloud.com/2021/07/01/sidearm-pitchers-with-reverse-splits-this-year/ |
