It looks like the Beavers have stopped publishing our upcoming starting pitchers on their game notes...however UC Davis has our pitchers listed for the weekend as:
Friday - Heimlich Saturday - Tweedt Sunday - Thompson
Will be interesting to see if that will hold true. |

We may need more than one "starting" pitcher for some games if there are lengthy stoppages

The good thing is that UC Davis will have the exact same challenge if we have weather delays. Advantage: Beavs.
They also have a game on Monday at TSDTR, so they can't exactly use everyone up Sat/Sun. (we do have a game Tuesday)/

I do hope this is the weekend rotation. Frankly, Thompson had earned it, Fehmel has not. Pat Casey always says that the players are the ones who "fill out the lineup card". Heimlich - Tweedt - Thompson would be a perfect example of that.

Fehmel obviously had the great Frosh campaign, expecially since he didn't sign as a pitcher. But, he shows no signs if being a closer. Maybe its "our" soph slump for pitchers, but he's slid back some in our rotation and with a couple frosh improving is maybe 5-6 deep. Middle relief or weekday starter at this point... barring unforseen happenings. |

A guy that comes in as a position player and shows the mental approach to accomplish what Fehmel did as a true freshman has the mental approach to close. Mentality is the single most important trait when looking at closers at this level. Gundy would be prime example. To date 2017 he's given up hits but not walks. I think you can agree easier to take a guy who's hitting the center of the plate and create better pitching zones than pulling a guy in from off the plate. Long season we shall see |

Looks like UC Davis had our rotation correctly in their game notes, its really too bad that Oregon State has stopped sharing that information with us. Thankfully they published it.
Do the beat writers ever share this information? Seems to me that they never know or ask anything beforehand. They had absolutely no idea about anything wrong with Nobach until he wasn't on the roster. Nothing ever about Hickey until a week into the season when people started asking. I might have missed if they had anything about Cary out this weekend before the series actually started.

Long season we shall see You can have all the "mentality" you want, but unless you can get multiple pitches over the plate in any count, and NOT give up as many hits as innings pitched you're not a closer (unless you have very high strikeout rate). You can spread out hits over innings and be effective as a starter, but not in a closers role, especially with men on. Could he get there? Maybe. But, we have much better options right now. |

Thompson was not sharp today and got the hook early. It happens. He clearly did not want to come out, and that is the sign of a true competitor. As Pat says, I don't make the lineup cards, they do. Fehmel will likely start Tuesday, and we shall see if he gets out of the doghouse.

I think they will save Femhel for a weekend start since its a 4 game series, maybe the Thursday game in order to give Luke and Sam more time. Jimmy Wilson speculated on the radio that Johnny Wholestaff would be throwing Tuesday.

Not saying there is anything of a conspiracy. Just want reporters to provide us news instead of reacting to our questions on twitter and then go finding out what happened.
