Then we suck.
We won one game by 1 point. We won two by 2 points. We came dangerously close to losing today.
Forget Omaha, boys. Judge has ruled against us.
I saw a team that never quit. That's a sign of good coaching. After getting blown out in the first game, you'd think a below average team would've just phoned it in, but they didn't. Below average teams don't tend to do that.
Using the term "points" doesn't help your case. And, I never said anything about Omaha. Meh. So I had too much to drink and used a word for scoring that is used by nearly every major sport. Doesn't change the truth of the statement. Omaha can be inferred if you believe that CSUN was a below average team. |

Doesn't have anything to do with our chances to get to Omaha. |

Is that at the end of the season or 16 games in? Is winning only based on pitching? Seems like pitching can be worse if your offense is better. Also did you catch our strike rate today? Last I looked it was hovering around 60% in the 7th. Pitching is generally considered to be 75-80% of baseball. If you can pitch, you can win. Pitching (and defense) travels. Offense always doesn't. We won't go far in the postseason, or win the conference, averaging more than 6 free passes per game. Tell that to the TCU team from last year or Oregon making it to a supers or even Oral Roberts. Not great on the pitching side at all. Slugged their way through the post season. |

Every year we've made it to Omaha we averaged4.7 bb/HBP per game. I'll stick by that. |

The Ducks' beat bullpen could not hold a three-run lead in the seventh in Game Two, which should have punched Oregon's ticket to Omaha. 2023 TCU's WHIP was only slightly worse than 2024 Oregon State. You are not making your case!. I posted on another thread, but the only Oregon State teams with WHIPs worse than 2024's WHIP are 2008, 2009, and 2012. That is no tournament, shipped out to the Fort Worth as a three-seed, and a two-seed at the Baton Rouge Regional. Every other team has pitched better, even 2016 and 2020. |

Well, you also posted this: Pick your poison Oregon State has done well overall. Best start since 2018 but worst pitching start since 2012. I posted elsewhere about the lack of singles, as well. Extra-base hits cure a ton of ills. If we can keep it up, the warts do not really matter. But Pac-12 play tends to expose warts and expose them quickly. Utah has been playing better than anyone else in the Pac-12 and should be a decent early test. |

Own it. It’s what you do best. Learn to read. You need practice. I just said we beat a team that’s not very good. It has no bearing on Omaha. |

People on this board talk like we are the SEC or the ACC. We are really good this year. If we play to our potential we are the best team on the west coast by a fairly large margin. The PAC 12 is probably the 6th or 7th best baseball conference this year. Is conference play a grind? Most definitely. We are going to lose games but this team is flat out better on a talent level than anyone else in the conference. The only thing that has worried me is we seem to play down to our comp. If we play like we did in AZ and Texas it’s going to be a fun year. |

I know I sound like a smart a$$ haha. |

And it's a sweep of a very good team. It’s a sweep, but that’s not a good team. That not good team is putting the hurt on Utah. In Provo. 12-2. |
