I’ll start by saying that was the worst home plate umpire I’ve ever seen. At times was 3-4 balls off the plate and than wouldn’t call something down the middle. Now onto the team. No energy. No leadership. No adjustments. Bullpen couldn’t hold on to a $100 bill at this point. Guys need to step up. Got to get the mojo back. Like I said yesterday 0 swagger or moxy. Where’s the cojones. Greg Street might have something to say about that. |

Our opponent next week lost their first pac 12 series this weekend so maybe that will help the teams psyche not feeling the pressure to break up that streak.
Or at least my psyche.

This is one of the things that I'm going to miss next season about not being in a conference. Beavs are reeling with FOUR conference series to go. Two against the teams that are in the top 3...and two against the teams that are at the bottom.
For shear baseball excitement, you can't beat that.
The looming question: Can OSU right the ship?
With an independent schedule next season, things like that will be diminished.

Never had the blessing of having all the analytics, pitch selection or gave a damn. What I did care was hitting the Ball and hitting the ball someplace, some how with runners in scoring position. Use the handle, either end, get the ball in play. Score the damn run. Never was around anyone that said swing like hell as hard as you can.
Has everyone noticed that we rarely even try moving up runners. Rarely even try to steal a base. What we do is wait, wait, wait for that good pitch to swing from our ass and hit it 455 ft.

Perhaps the worst week of Beaver baseball I can remember. I don't understand all the K's. I was watching on TV but it sure didn't look like any of these Cal Pitcher were the un-hittable variety. How about the Reno Cal trip of 2019? |

Agreed, and we take BADWACKS at ‘em. 😁 |

I am guessing but it looks like Dorman has no faith in his BP Staff. Probably for good reason. In his last inning on the road trip he gave up 5. He gave up the homer against Stanford on Sunday. Has over a 500 average against him. I’m so confused and lost And since that Stanford game, everybody else from the bullpen has been pitching like Palmer. Dorman may as well just throw a dart to pick a pitcher at this point. |

Our RPI dropped 2 spots. Cals went up 29.

Our RPI dropped 2 spots. Cals went up 29. I thought ours would drop more....road series losses count against you less though. Regardless, I'm not sure we can be a super host, at this point, even if we don't lose another game, which is very unlikely anyway. |

Handle business against Washington State and UCLA. Arizona probably ends up being a series for all the marbles. Deep run/hopefully winning Pac-12 tourney. It’s still doable. |

Regardless, I'm not sure we can be a super host, at this point, even if we don't lose another game, which is very unlikely anyway. it's the ole who else deserves it thing. Let's say we won out. We would get it or they backfill with teams that also have multiple series losses. Many of those being SEC teams it gets a bit weird when more than half the regional and super regional hosts are SEC. From RPI slot 7 (North Carolina) to us they all have ugly mid week and series losses. It's really just TAMU, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Clemson that aren't on the same boat as us currently. East Carolina isn't but they do have a road series loss to UTSA that isn't fantastic. There's plenty of room for us to be qualified. Just not if we're giving up 6 errors and 40 strikeouts a series. |

Sure, it's probably doable. But I think it's unlikely. I don't think we win the ARZ series. Hole is gonna be tough. Thankfully it's at Goss. UCLA sucks, but you know they will be up for us. Wazzu isn't gonna be easy. I don't trust our squad away from Goss at all. The remaining midweek games will likely be an adventure. And to be clear, I'm talking top 8 seed.....I'm just not seeing it. |

As always it'll be the committee's call, but OSU has given them all the ammo needed to not give it a Top 8 seed. Media rankings have little to do with seeding so OSU not only needs to win, they probably need to be impressive their last 15 games. OSU just doesn't have enough remaining games vs higher RPI teams to raise their RPI enough to counter their SOS. Currently OSU has the worst SOS in the Top 25 RPI teams and the remaining schedule is RPI/Quad weak. A quick look... Q1 games left... (4) @ Zona (3), @ Oregon (1)... road record vs Q1 1-6; Q2 games left... (6) vs Oregon (3), @ WSU (3)... home record vs Q2 3-0, road 7-3; Q3 games left... (2) @ UP, @ Zags... Q3 road record 1-0; Q4 games left... (3) vs UCLA... home record vs Q4 12-0 In the 7th ranked RPI conference... games remaining vs: RPI 32 x 3 games RPI 63 x 4 games RPI 128 x 1 game RPI 165 x 3 games RPI 185 x 1 game RPI 189 x 3 games OSU probably can't afford ANY Q2-Q4 losses, and prob needs to win all (4) Q1 games, win the Pac12, and Pac12 tourney to finish very strong and have a shot with the committee. But... |

But... Probably 12-4 and 2-1 in Scottsdale. That probably gets it done. 44-14 is probably a top eight seed. That is all to say that I personally doubt that Oregon State is not a top eight seed with that resume. You can probably get away with one or two more losses with a Pac-12 Tournament win. Short of let's say 11-5, I am starting to doubt that a top eight national seed is possible without a lot more help than you would normally expect from the top 10 teams. It's still there for the taking. Oregon State just has to go out and win. |
