Beavers at Utah Utes Official Gamethread - Game 3 of 3 - 3/17/24

Segura is what, 18 years old? He's gonna be fine. s%#tty loss today, but Segura will be back.

The offense scored 11.

The last time that Oregon State gave up 14+ in eight innings?  The final game of the 2023 Pac-12 Tournament, the 14-10 loss to Arizona State.

The game before that?

Not the 2022 UCLA game.  Oregon State only gave up 12 through eight and then everything went sideways after that.

You have to go back to April 7, 2018.  Oregon State gave up 15 to Arizona in Tucson.  The coaches screwed up midweek and pitched Heimlich in a save situation, but Heimlich blew the save and pitched too long.  Fehm started game one and dominated.  Heimlich started the second game on extremely short rest and got crushed, allowing six earned runs.  Burns relieved Heimlich and Chamberlain relieved Burns.  Chamberlain did ok his first time through the lineup, only allowing two runs to score and one other runner to reach.  However, the second time through the lineup, Chamberlain allowed five of the first six hitters to reach and all five to score.  The last three scored after Tweedt came in at the end and piped one for a grand slam.  15-4 the final.

The time before that?  May 31, 2014.  Oregon State threw Andrew Moore to beat North Dakota State and threw Jace Fry against Irvine for reasons that continue to confuse and bewilder me.  Fry gave up six and the relievers all got shelled in a 14-2 loss in the Corvallis Regional.  Oregon State would rebound to win the next two to force a Corvallis Regional Championship Game but ultimately lost 4-2.

The time before that?  February 24, 2012, a random 18-2 loss to San Diego State in San Diego early in the season, Cole Baylis' second-to-last start in the orange & black.

The time before that?  May 9, 2009, a 15-6 loss against Washington.  Peavey got shelled.

The time before that?  April 20, 2008, a 15-12 loss to Arizona State.  Reyes got shelled.

The time before that?  April 1, 2007, a 17-14 loss to Arizona.  Turpen got shelled.

Oregon State gave up 20 to Portland in 2006 but that was in 12 innings.  The Beavs only gave up 11 through eight.

And those are the only instances in the past 20 seasons.

One of the eight most runs allowed in eight innings the last 20 seasons, and it is the offense's fault?  I disagree.

It looked like Segura tired in the latter part of his 3rd inning - altitude maybe? His FB dropped in velo from 92-93 in the first 2 innings to 90 in the 4th and he was "up" in the zone more, and his counts were increasing.

Liar!!!

We won a game we should have lost on Friday. We lost a game we should have won on Sunday. We won a toss-up game Saturday.

Pretty much how you might expect a road series against the (at this time) # 2 team in the conference might go.

I look at baseball in 5- and 10-game sample sizes, not as individual events. We won 2 of 3, have won 4 of 5 and 9 of 10. That's pretty darn good.

Outside of the United States, most Renos are Italian.  Most American Renos, though, are versions of garbled French names.  There are also Spanish Renos.  There is an ancient Swiss house of Reno, which appears to be Italianized German (or, less likely, Germanized Italian), but it is unclear if those Renos are related to the Italian Renos or not.

In any instance, though, you are correct, Reno is not an Irish surname.

Having said all of that, I am pretty sure that Reno lives in the City of Reno.

Reno is named after Jesse Lee Reno.  The Renos were French Huguenots with the last name of Renault, which means that Reno is probably always mispronounced nowadays.  The "e" should be short and not long.

Jesse Lee Reno, the City of Reno's namesake, was a West Virginian, who moved with his family to Pennsylvania, when he was six or seven.  Reno went to West Point and was good friends with Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, finishing ahead of Jackson in his class.

In the Mexican War, Reno was with Winfield Scott Hancock all the way from Veracruz to Chapultepec (the "Halls of Montezuma") before being seriously injured.

Reno was one of the best artillery commanders in America and served in several posts throughout the country, finishing up defending the Mount Vernon Arsenal in Alabama.  He surrendered the Arsenal to the State of Alabama and returned to the North to fight the Civil War.  He was part of General Burnside's North Carolina Invasion, which was successful in destroying portions of North Carolina's Navy, taking dykes to ensure that Confederate ironclads could not easily navigate North Carolina waters,  and taking important railroad positions.  After Robert E. Lee defeated McClellan in the peninsula campaign, the North Carolina Campaign became impossible to maintain, and Reno was recalled to defend Washington, D.C., from Stonewall Jackson.  After losing the Second Battle of Bull Run, Lee and Jackson invaded Maryland.  Reno controlled the right third of the Union Army coming to attack at Antietam, but he was accidentally shot and killed by his own troops at South Mountain, one of the minor battles, which set up Antietam.  Some Confederates considered Reno a traitor, because he was born in West Virginia, and had invaded North Carolina.  At least one North Carolinian claimed credit for killing Reno.  Reno was brought to the Northern Surgeon, Sam Sturgis, who had gone to West Point with Reno.  Reno said, "Hallo, Sam, I'm dead!"  Sturgis thought that he sounded so natural that he must be joking and told Reno that he hoped it was not as bad as all that.  Reno repeated, "Yes, yes, I'm dead—good-by!"  And those were his last words.

He was buried in Georgetown.  There is a monument to Reno at the site that he was shot at Fox's Gap at South Mountain.  Reno, Nevada was named for him, as well as at least three other towns throughout the country.  There is a monument to Reno in Downtown Reno off of Virginia.
