Being number 1, winning the conference, etc., are nice.
Make the playoffs and give it a go.
If you are lucky enough to get to Omaha that is great -- but never should be expected to be the litmus test of a good season.

Hosting a Regional is a critical goal. No doubt that is huge. But as UC Irvine showed the Beavs in 2014 - it's no guarantee. |

I am sure the coaching staff and team have set goals, but isn't that their deal? My guess is that those goals are to win the PAC 12, get back to the college world series, and win the thing. All of that is still possible.
As someone who enjoys watching the team play, my goal is to do just that. They lost a series, and some of it was hard to watch...and enjoy. Knowing the result, I still can't think of anything else I would have preferred doing this weekend. There is no quit in this group of kids, I think they will get it turned around.

Hosting a Regional is a critical goal. No doubt that is huge. But as UC Irvine showed the Beavs in 2014 - it's no guarantee. Since the addition of the Super Regionals in 1999, Oregon State is 28-11 in Regionals and 10-4 in Super Regionals. Breaking those numbers down, Oregon State is 18-2 (.900) in Corvallis Regionals and 10-9 (.526) in road Regionals. Oregon State is 10-2 (.833) in Corvallis Super Regionals and 0-2 (.000) in road Super Regionals. The bigger delta appears in the Super Regional splits, i.e. it is more important that the Beavers host a Super Regional than it is that the Beavers host a Regional. If the Beavers wants to bring home hardware from Omaha, they need to earn a national seed. Otherwise, history indicates that Oregon State needs to get lucky. |

When I originally wrote the comment I was actually thinking “...Regional AND Super Regional...”. The path to Omaha needs to go through Corvallis. As far as “luck” goes...well, last nights ‘Gremlins in The Outfield’ might be a good omen. Brings to mind that the single moment that has kept tsdtr from an Omaha trip was an outfield gremlin a few years back at PK Park. Of course, since that time the ‘ucks have managed to decline on a near-perfect downward projection re: PAC 12 performance. |

Don't forget we are 76-3 (0.962 winning percentage) in our last 79 games at Goss Stadium. At least according to Parker during last nights broadcast. Think about that for a moment... We are spoiled as fans when we are at home!

We are spoiled as fans when we are at home! I do not believe that that is correct. Oregon State's last four home losses: March 25, 2018 Washington 8 - Oregon State 4
March 9, 2018 Cal State Fullerton 5 - Oregon State 3
April 29, 2017 USC 7 - Oregon State 5
May 15, 2016 Oregon 6 - Oregon State 3The Beavers are 45-3 (.938 winning percentage) in their last 48 games in Goss Stadium. (The 2016 UCLA series forward.) I have the Beavers at 66-12-1 (.842) in their last 79. That is the 2015 USC series forward. If you include all games in the State of Oregon, the Beavers are 50-3 (.943) in their last 53 games. (The 2016 UCLA series forward.) |

(The 2016 UCLA series forward.) I stand corrected. I was just going on what I heard Mike Parker say on the broadcast. I went back a little further... 2013. The Beavers are 143-28-1 since the beginning of 2013 for a 0.836 winning percentage. Either way, we are spoiled as fans at Goss Stadium. Go Beavs! |
