Beavs return to Goss and great weather! Little wind and temps not likely to drop below 50 even late in the games.
Games Thur,Fri,Sat all on PAC12 Net.
Whoreton’s boys are 1-4 over their last five contests, Beavs are a somewhat Jeckel-n-Hyde 3-2 over the same span.
Plenty of questions:
>Will Nick rejoin the lineup?
>Has Larnach hit his stride at the plate?
>Which set of arms, solid or mediocre, will show up?
>Will Mark Buchanan return to Goss? How many contraband candy bars will be confiscated?
GO BEAVS!
GoBeavs
But they’ll have to pry my Baby Ruth from my cold, dead hand.
Beavs with the controversial signing, pick up Teagan Quitoriano…..
Yeah….
I read awhile back the basketball team he was on was involved in hazing and the coach was dismissed. Was Teagan guilty by association do you know or was he one of the main instigators? Wasn’t it a few years ago that is happened? Seems to me he would have been kicked off the b-ball team if he was a main instigator.
Do you know exactly what the deal was? Not really finding any info.
Just rumors, and nothing I feel comfortable commenting on given the nature of juvenile records and lack of concrete information.
Question. Scholarship or preferred walkon?
It’s easy to feel comfortable. Just think about the clicks!

“The incident that Miller says upended his teenage years took place in December 2015, during a school-sponsored trip to play in a tournament in San Diego.
Miller said he was sitting in bed in his hotel room, watching TV with two teammates when they heard a knock on the door. One of the teammates answered it, then four other teammates burst inside, giggling and laughing.
According to Miller, one of the four boys grabbed the TV remote off the dresser, then all four jumped on him.
Miller said he told police that two of the boys pinned him, face-up, on the hotel mattress, holding down his arms while a third boy held his legs. The fourth thrust the TV remote into his buttocks, Miller said. He was wearing pants.
Anti-gay slurs were being thrown at him, Miller said. He said he managed to squirm away after about two minutes. The four boys, laughing, then got up, high-fived each other and left the room, Miller said.”
Quitoriano was allegedly one of the attackers.
Maybe we should sign Marco Brewer next?
Ray Rice have any eligibility?
Guess the O’s background checker couldn’t be bothered to see if Quitoriano was one of the accused. Although if the Beavs get any traction later in his career, I’m sure he’ll finally make some headway.
And now for GWH’s in-depth pre-game analysis (which also happens to be my mid- and post-game analysis):
FTD
~GWH
Nick starting at 2B per GT Bob
Kwan doubles then Grenier drives him in 1-0
Madrigal drives in kwanny 2-0 beavs
Larnach goes yard 3-1 bottom of the 3rd
Tyler Malone still hot with a 2 run jack 5-1 t6
Beavs win 5-2. Pitchers strike out 15
Perfect evening at the ballpark.
Nick was welcomed by all, including the 2b ump who gave a pregame pat on the back.
At least three scouts in attendance, one from the RedSox whose radar gun appeared to show Luke at 93mph. Scout paid attention to Mulholland as well.
Angry will love this, spent a couple innings seated next to a gentleman who was playing chess on his phone while barely watching the game! Charter member of the “down in front” gang??
Oh yes, the highly compensated AD himself was in attendance and failed to intercept my contraband granola bar, though less than 15 feet away while I munched it! Compassion or incompetence?……you decide.
The weather was awesome.
Nick changes the whole demeanor of the team.
The chess player was paying more attention to the game than you were.
Clear bags are stupid.
The lineup from last night was nice to see having Madrigal back.
1-5 is murderer’s row with Kwan/Grenier/Madrigal/Rutschman/Larnach
But there really isn’t much of a drop off 6-9 with Nobach/Malone/Gretler/Armstrong.
And Jack Andersen is hitting .289.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Larnach and Adley flipped in the order. Larnach is more of a base clearing long ball threat, in my opinion, while Adley generally keeps his hitting within the park.
Adley had 5 left on base yesterday.
I like that Casey rewarded Armstrong for his outstanding play filling in for Madrigal. Move him to 3B and keep his bat in the line-up. Can really set the table for the top of the order. I think I agree about flipping Larnach and Rutschman. Forces opposing pitchers to pitch to Larnach and not pitch around him.
A few observations on lat nights game. 1.) The Ducks are really weak. I didn’t see one player that would beat out a Beaver player at any position. Pitching is ok, but they’re helpless at the plate.
2.) Horton has got to be on thin ice with UO Admin err…Phil and at 350+ lbs that’s not a good place to be. I think he did manage to sneak lots of candy bars into Goss.
3.) Game day management needs to relocate the field microphone. A few “fans” were on the home plate ump all night. It got really old whining about every pitch. The announcers even commented on the “lack of credibility’ as the “fan” wanted every call regardless of where it was in the strike zone. Not a good look for the Beavs to the casual tv viewer. Did not earn the platitude “knowledgable fans” cliché from the announcers.
4.) Is there a square inch of Goss that is not for sale and branded to some donor? Press box, locker room even the dug outs??? How much do I donate for the “Pettibonehead” on deck circle or water cooler?
Pettibonehead toilet bowl has a nice ring to it.

FTD!
Anybody else stuck watching softball instead of the baseball game on PAC-12 network? WTF?
Try pac 12 Oregon
Tyler Malone is on fire- solo shot makes it 1-0 in b5
Malone solo shot to right. Beavs up 1-0 in the bottom of the 5th.
Pitchers dual today.
Game is on the Pac12 website for those stuck watching softball
Rustchman sac fly makes it 2-0 b6
Casey and the Pac12 network play by play guy must read Angrybeavs.
Larnach and Rutschman are flipped in the order(pays off as Larnach gets pitched to instead of around, and ends up working the count to get hit by a pitch and load the bases for Adley.(who sac flies 2 home)
Commentator calls the top of our lineup “the closest thing to murderer’s row you’ll find in college baseball”
2 out, 2 on, 1 out.
Bottom 6th
Sorry, some typos above.
Sac fly brought 1 home.
2-1 Beavs. 2 on 2 out
*2-0 Beavs.
I quit
T9….how many outs?
One out, runners on first and second. HBP, base hit, foul bunt on 0-2 count.
2-1 final, good guys. Sacrifice fly scores one, then a strikeout by Mulholland for the save. Fehmel with the win, 7? innings.
7 and 1/3 innings
Yup. I was trying to use the actual “1/3” character but that’s too smart for WordPress to handle.
Solid game by the pitching staff!
Is Mulholland our best closer?
Yup
Brenda Tracy’s latest
(Full disclosure, after the TQ signing I kindof agree. Of course we don’t know every detail that went into that decision, but at face value it makes Ed Ray’s comments last June ring hollow)
“I will always be appreciative for what Oregon State did for me & the role they’ve played in my path to healing, but I’ve been really disappointed in some of their decisions over the last year. I know they can do better, but it appears as if they don’t want to.
Always nice to have Tracy present as juror, judge and executioner. Must be special to have that much knowledge.
Especially given that there is only speculation that TQ was involved…
no facts at this point because the names have not been disclosed. Apparently, Ms Tracy doesn’t mind jumping to conclusions and rushing to judgement. When the facts come out and if TQ was involved, the beavs will rescind their offer. Until the facts are released, no one should rush to judgement. Maybe Tracy should spend more time advocating for victims as opposed to a knee jerk reaction based on conjecture.
I watched Stanford vs zona tonight and they are scary good. Zona ace shut them down for six innings and then Stanford exploded for 8 runs in next two innings. They hit the leather off the ball….
Stanford is really good. Being that Beavs have them at home makes me feel a little better. It will be a series that determines the PAC champion. Hope I’m wrong, but Stanford is the more consistent team. Beavs lack in defense (errors are high) and starting pitching depth (no real Sunday starter).
Another in state recruit(2019 this time) is likely to give a verbal pledge either this weekend or next. Not much more I can say at this point.
How many team mates has this one sexually assaulted (allegedly)?
Just saw Austin Meek tweet that Langsdorf is working at Oregon now as an offensive analyst.
Sounds good to me
Poison pill.
Beavs up 6-0 in the 3rd behind jacks from Larnach and Gretler
9-0 off a rustchman double in the 3rd
Thorough ass-kicking going on against the Quacks. I’m only harsh because of course during the first game the numbnut P-12 Network announcers had to say that if Duckie could win the series they HAVE to be back in the tournament conversation. Well they won’t and no they don’t. Time for Horton to retire next to a Golden Corral and call his career good.
Horton has been paid enough to go to a restaurant that serves real food… for the rest of his life.
Hell… school lunches are better food than Golden Corral.
Mmmm… cinnamon rice.
I doubt he wants real food. Volume is what counts!
Phil Fulmer was not opposed to hitting up the Shoney’s buffet once in a while.
He has a good item named after him at the PK Park home plate concession stand. Something like the “Horton’s Loaded Nachos” or “Horton’s Sausage”.
I’m not kidding.
*food*
Not good
That’s awesome and so appropriate.
Malone again goes yard 12-5 in the 7th
Sweep.
Beavs bust out the brooms, 12-5 final. Tyler Malone has homered in 5 straight games.
and the fail blazers get swept. Good weekend
FTD
Totally random. Jerry Pettibone just friend requested me on facebook.
I’m now friends with Dennis Erickson and Jerry. Not their parody accounts either.
Talk to me when Pettibonehead friends you.
Anybody know anything about or care about the senior transfer PG, Tinks is pursuing? All time assist leader for mid-major Samford, Christen Cunningham. The Beavs had good luck with the previous Cunningham.
I saw that.
https://twitter.com/ellieliebs/status/987468041368698881
Medical exemption for last year. He went from a 1.5 A/TO in his frosh and soph years to almost a 3.0 in his junior year. That’s approaching Lester numbers.

Sounds like he’s visiting Ohio St. also, not sure their PG needs?
You’d have to think if he’s taking a visit, that their needs are great. Hopefully the keys to the Beavermobile are enough to sway him.
Took a look at the 10 day forecast for the OSU spring game. Sunny and nice pretty much every day, except for the 3 days around the spring game which show rain showers. Luck O….
Funny clip from John Oliver tonight about our Secratary of the Interior, who repeatedly has claimed he is a Geologist. But really, he only studied Geology while on a football scholarship, while attending…..wait for it…….university of oregon.

There’s no disagreement. There’s just fact.
If you get an undergraduate degree in teaching then go on to be a day trader, you don’t get to call yourself a teacher.
This is the guy who was kicked out of the Navy for being a crook.
He also hitched a ride on an oil executive’s private jet from Vegas to Montana then charged the government over $12k to call that flight a charter.
One would have thought the corruption under idiot boy, where Interior officials were literally in bed with oil and gas industry reps, could not be beat. But this dishonorable loser is going to make a run for it.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out Scott Pruitt and Ben Carson hired the guy on the side to refurnish their DC offices… because, you know… he’s the Secretary of the Interior.
Are you fucking kidding? He went to UO? That explains the lack of ethics….
Dude… is living proof that playing football causes brain damage. Also, he lied his ass off about being a Seal. Typical mango-Mussolini cabinet member.
Nice to come back from a vacation and see the beavs have righted the ship going into the stretch run.
