Tonight's game is probably the most important of the season thus far. We are facing their ace and we do not want to get into a game three winner take all with our 3rd starter tomorrow.
Go Beavs!! finish this tonight!!

Go Beavs!! finish this tonight!! True. But remember...UCLA had some aces, so did Stanford. And don't forget about LSU w/Hess We are the overdog

Go Beavs!! finish this tonight!! True. But remember...UCLA had some aces, so did Stanford. And don't forget about LSU w/Hess We are the overdog However past results do not guarantee future success, ESPECIALLY in baseball. Plus, Minny is a far far better team than LSU and proved it vs UCLA. Furd couldn't get out of a home regional so... Minny is the best team we're facing and that is all that matters. Can't fall "asleep" (and this team has enough players who are well versed in this after last CWS) and buy into what happened earlier in the year. Although a TRUE FROSH this kid is better than any of those as far as his "stuff" (if you are to believe scouts that have seen him at his best)... he'll be drafted higher in two years sans injury. BUT, again he has to face us. Which could intimidate him in this setting. But, could make him better than some other league Aces as they knew what they were facing. Sometimes, youth and unfamiliarity are good things... too naive to know better?! As far as Hess... NOT an ace. LSU may think so, but, they thought they had a competitive post season team! Hess is a converter reliever who is a pure thrower, not even close to a pitcher. Minny played this the only way they could. Pitching vs Luke is a loss... you play to win a series and not a game. You toss your best vs Bryce. Bryce has been hot, but as a finesse pitcher needs to be "on" AND get edges to be effective. Minny feels this match ups to allow them to get to Game 3, where all of our cards will be on a true Frosh and they can use three very good arms/pitchers out of their pen. OSU does not want this to go to a Game 3 and have the pens become the deciding factor.

I try to not make game predictions... baseball too funny... too many variables... I did give a season prediction... thought 20-10 and top 3 Pac12... My prediction... There are fans on this board that will be greatly disappointed, call for an investigation and totally be UPSET if Meggs and UW make the CWS and OSU doesn't!!!!!!!!! Even if OSU does, some will be greatly disappointed. I feel strongly we do not want to go to a Game 3...

We don't dogpile until Omaha! Well, the tar heels just dogpiled so there's that since they are possibly our next opponent. Seems odd that they qualify for Omaha and some teams have not thrown a single pitch in the Super Regionals yet. No dogpiles until Omaha Beavers!

I want the Doggies to bite the dust simply because I like the recruiting advantage for the undecided kids. Those with dog ties will still be Huskies, but the long list of Beavers from Washington has been a key for years for the Beavers. Of course, Washington didn't recruit a lot of those guys anyway as baseball recruits are tough to analyze. Beavers are really going national (and Canadian) in recruiting, but the PNW still is the key.

True. But remember...UCLA had some aces, so did Stanford. And don't forget about LSU w/Hess We are the overdog However past results do not guarantee future success, ESPECIALLY in baseball.

Do you think that the bolded part above is true? I know a lot of guys on here are down on Abel, but statistically, Minnesota has had even more inconsistent starters on Sunday than Oregon State. I personally think that Minnesota was banking on winning 2-0 and was trying to match Frederickson against Luke, only for Luke to go in game 1. Also, man, Minnesota is here, because of some dopey pitching decisions by UCLA in the Bruins' games 2 and 3. If the Bruins were better coached, they would be here and not Minnesota. (And honestly, UCLA worries me a lot more in a Super Regional setting than Minnesota.) Finally, UCLA played against both Fehmel and Frederickson exactly one week apart. Each pitcher threw 107 pitches. Fehmel threw 6 2/3 and allowed one run on three hits. Frederickson threw 6 innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits. UCLA did not score on either pen. (Abel threw two innings out of the pen against the Bruins for his only save of the year.) This game looks like a true pitchers' duel. In the slop, I like Fehmel and the Beavs, but we could be looking at extra innings. I would prefer that Oregon State win tonight and starts to prepare for North Carolina, but I have tremendous faith in Abel (or at least inasmuch as I believe that he will be better than whoever Minnesota throws) should this series go the distance.

I would prefer that Oregon State win tonight and starts to prepare for North Carolina, but I have tremendous faith in Abel (or at least inasmuch as I believe that he will be better than whoever Minnesota throws) should this series go the distance. First... I typically don't type what I don't believe is true unless it's in jest/sarcastic. Second, who UCLA faced when has zero correlation to what will actually happen. Minny is the better team... excuses of poor coaching... again is BS. Third, we've only recently had a Sunday starter. It was by ever changing because it was inconsistent and bad... lol at the Sunday records. So, recent successes of Abel is promising, but no guarantee that it continues. Fourth, IF Minny wins Game 2, especially if they don't have to use their own much, they have a huge advantage. They have three proven quality, consistent arms in the pen they could use to pitch Game 3. And, my guess, will. Pitching their Ace/pitcher of the year vs Luke would have been an idiotic all or nothing move. Get OSU to a Game 3 to win a series has been a season long strategy for teams. And, although a Beaver thru and thru why the CWS set up doesn't favor OSU. But, win tonight to get there and then worry about pitchers stepping up.
