General thread covering the three relevant topics right now.
Regarding the new uniform reveal on the 20th — brace yourself for another disaster.
Go Beavs.
Is this uniform reveal supposed to be a modification or special combo for a certain game, or a new set of uniforms?
Probably
Barnes did confirm that something may or may not be in the works
They’ve been wearing last years game pants/jerseys for spring practice, which usually indicates a full redesign incoming. I sure hope so.
Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti
Bol Bol and his handlers also received large sums from Nike. The receipts are clear as day. A lot of people at Nike will have to account for their criminal conduct, starting with Carlton DeBose & moving higher up. The diversion charade they orchestrated against me will be exposed
WBB, 6pm Friday on ESPN; Beavs are underdogs by any definition…and for the first time in a long time.
One talking head says, “defensively, the Beavers haven’t been sharp. It raises questions about how effective they’ll be in trying to topple No. 1 seed Louisville, which beat Oregon State in the Elite Eight last season.” Unsaid there is the inconsistent 3pt shooting lately. Oh, and that loss last year saw a 7 pt halftime deficit balloon to a 33pt loss at the end, due in part to giving up 24pts onTO’s!
And while “it’s all about how we play” is a good approach, Louisville may have some distractions. The beat writer for the Chatanooga paper tweeted: “According to a source, Louisville is prepared to lose women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz to Tennessee at the end of the season. They’ve also just lost their long time assistant to the HC job at Eastern Kentucky.
But, really, it is all about how the Beavs play. Turnovers, lack of 3pt shooting, weakness at the post; all need to improve. Will Katie have a breakout game? Will Destiny score AND rack up some assists? Can Pivec keep up her terrific pace? How about Taya and/or Aleah? 25+minutes for Washington?
So many things have to come together.
Hard not to pick against the Beav gals in this one………but I won’t do that.
This game we will really miss Kat. Hopefully the coaching rumors throw them off.
OSU turns the ball over too much to have much chance for a competitive game against Louisville. Also, throw in too much play of ineffective McWilliams.
Next year they’ll have Tudor back, probably improved cohesiveness with Slocum, some bigs that bring hope, but most importantly need to get their intensity back.
From a Louisville paper:
Surprised me, like you I always felt the Beavs had a serious TO problem.
https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/louisville/2019/03/26/ncaa-tournament-march-madness-2019-what-to-know-about-louisville-next-opponent-oregon-state/3270237002/
Next year…”probably improved cohesiveness with Slocum”……spot on!
Agree. It still seems like she is a odd fit for what Rueck likes to do.
No Abel? Lundeberg tweets: The listed rotation this weekend is Eisert, Fehmel and Gambrell.
Cain pulled the old concrete suitcase gag on his little bro. An injury of biblical proportions.
Eggers up with a nice piece on Alex McGarry. Mentions him playing for Big Jim and a little on the meditation group led by Tyler Graham.
Too much good stuff to paste here, another example of Eggers good work, Damn Straight – we don’t need no stinkin’ whoregonian!

Four Beavs will play for the Honkers this summer.
Beavs play better in ugly uniforms. Sports bras had a pretty good record.
If that’s the case we should be undefeated since we “re- Beaved.”
All but the White ones should burnt in a pyre outside Nike’s HQ.
this one is a good alternate, but I still prefer the 2000 era look where we only wore that combo for 3 years.

First one looks fine, would look better with tackling and blocking players in them…
Ugly uniforms making teams play better would explain the quacks’ athletic success
Getting rid of the bronze trim would be nice.
A lot of the old looks would be great to bring back… just not with the “angry beaver”/sonic the hedge-beaver. Leave that one to die.
Benny. Retro.
This was in the article I posted in the previous thread…
Recent trends and the largely positive reception for last year’s throwback uniforms received from fans would suggest Oregon State will simplify its overall look as the football team moves to the cleaner Vapor Untouchable template. And while it appears the font will remain, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Beavers drop metallic bronze from their color scheme.
Virginia amazingly doesn’t gag the tourney away to the quackers. Thank goodness.
I don’t get Amin sobbing like a child on the sideline, wasn’t he a 5th year transfer? I hate to admit that I admire Altman for figuring things out and turning his team around, but thank God Virginia put them out of their misery. Now, the Oregon media can calm down.
Well, Yahoo did award him the “Worst Flop of the 2019 Tourney”
https://sports.yahoo.com/oregon-flop-ehab-amin-ncaa-tournament-march-madness-041011361.html
No more free sneakers.
Carrying the Joey Harrington legacy?
Speaking if carrying, didn’t UO’s PG regularly carry the ball?
Go Beavs…
Beavs need to win the opening game here if they want to win the series vs uw.
It’s really all about the offense right now.
Bullpen seems a bit tired with the innings they need to cover with Abel out.
Basically for the women’s team to advance, they’ll need to shoot over 50% from 3.
I was in Lexington last year, I bet we lose by 20+
The foot speed of Louisville was impressive and nothing I’ve seen year thinks that will change. Only thing that keep this close is if Louisville doesn’t shoot well or turns the ball over and can’t set up their press defenses. We had no answers for the press last year.
Is anyone having problems logging in?
I was. I got a prompt from some outfit named Jetpack that wanted me to click on some link that would allow my IP address to work. I didn’t do so for reasons as readily conceived as expressed. This time and didn’t get that prompt and was able to log on.
I’ve also been asked to proved I’m not a robot recently, by way of solving simple math addition problems. What’s up with that?
They’re built in WordPress security features that aren’t working properly.
Not sure if I should disable them, though, because we’ll get a lot of bots/spam. The configuration for this thing is lacking. Usually, from reports I’ve gotten, if you just x out and try again it lets you in. My understanding is it has to do with IP addresses being blocked. Are you roaming on a phone when this happens? Might be picking up a bad IP as you move around on the cellular.
I don’t use a phone to log in; just my desk top or laptop. Indeed, when I just tried again I got right through to the log in prompt without problem. OOB has discussed this earlier, I understand.
Yeah, I mentioned JetPack in a post on the last thread (3-24 2:45pm). No one responded.
When JetPack has prevented me from logging in it has only happened when I was at home with the router/IP service I’ve used for years.
The “x out and try again” procedure has been successful about 50% of the time.
also, of late, when I open a dialogue window, like this one, I get a “Not Secure” notice from my protective software. I don’t get that warning when I”m just scanning and the service otherwise tells me this site is “secure.”
That’s simply that I don’t use https (the “s” standing for secure).
Big nothing burger on that one.
I figured as much but thought I would mention it. Thx.
FWIW: Fitt and Spratling of D1 both pick UW to take the series in Seattle. Aren’t they among the writers there who are most familiar with our Beavs?
https://d1baseball.com/analysis/2019-staff-pickem-week-seven/
I’m not feeling too confident about this weekend. But I’m glad Joe DeMers has gone to the pros. And our pitching has been pretty good. So I haven’t given up hope.
If we have a bunch more strikeouts looking, I think Casey is gonna jump out of the stands and kick everybody’s asses.
Is there vid of the baseball tonight?
Uh oh
Daley does his thing. Massive hit by Malone to get off the schneid
1-0 Beavs after 1/2
Eisert is sharp. Gives up one bullshit jam shot hit
Tough break at home plate but at least bats are showing a pulse
1-0 after one and a half
WBB- wow, you hold the opponent scoreless for 10 minutes and can only score 4 points yourself and now you’re down 11. Still some time left, but I think that stretch was the back breaker.
We’ll never beat that final 4 run. I stand by the statement.
Getting to a national championship game is really freaking hard. Much as I would like it, I don’t think it’s some huge shame if we don’t.
People gave me crap at the time. Said we’d be back. We won’t.
I think Rueck is a good coach but he plays Mcwilliams way to much. If you look at her stats they are horrible.
Again?!? Damn. Maddie Washington getting minutes?
It looks like maybe he’s deferring to a senior over what’s best for the game situation and team?
mcwilliams 30 minutes , 0 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers. Almost identical stats as last game. I think Rueck has a soft spot for her and the team suffered from it.
I wish someone would explicitly question him on it. She’s had similar stats for at least 3 straight games, correct, while Washington played efficiently with fewer minutes.
9% on 3s, 56(!)% FTs, 12 TOS….only the last stat sounds like the Beavs…
To my eyes, they over pass too much unless some of the players are just not confident with certain shots.
Afraid to shoot
Difficult to credit Lindsay Schnell but it’s my understanding that she once told Scott
Eisert is on tonight, lookin good
Doing okay at the plate but missing some opportunities. Should be up 3 or 4 to zip but instead it’s 1-0 after 3 and a half
What is up Lindsay Meg’s ass that makes him think he doesn’t have to do the in-game interviews?
I thought it was odd that the announcers were fawning over Meggs in the early innings and babbling about the success of the UW program, but then I think I heard one of them played baseball at Washington.
Reluctant to give credit to Lindsay Schnell, but she is credited with telling Rueck that he recruited nice girls who can shoot 3s. Late season 2019, they are nice girls who can’t.
Made the sweet 16 in a rebuild year with the best offensive player out. Not bad
Agree, score one for A@a.
Four years in a row making the sweet 16 or better is an accomplishment even with no injury problems. Kat Tudor may not be the very best offensive player, but she’s close, and she brings Pivec like intensity and energy like no one else on the squad.
I’ll trust Rueck’s judgement over Schnell and most writers and know it all fans. Since I don’t know the inner workings and team dynamics, I’ll trust his decision to give Katie so many minutes eventhough I don’t understand it.
It does say something that we are disappointed with the season ending in the Sweet 16.
Pivec was the only one willing to take shots. Even Slocum seemed intimidated. Katie M was better as a Frosh/ Soph. She needed to make up for the O that they lost with Tudor going out, but she never did. Ultimately it was the same old bugaboo, pressure D that did them in. Slocum and Goodman getting the ball stolen at half court by a single defender may represent the glass ceiling Angry is referring to.
Nothing makes me think next year shouldn’t be better…
Loss of jo and ktmac, no loss
Gain Aquino, Thropay, Kat and McDonald all American Brown
Don’t forget Jelena Milosovic, 6’8-9″ post player coming in. She’s much more polished with her skills compared to Grymek. JM has great hands, runs the court well and is an exceptional passer. I didn’t see enough of her video to know how good she is offensively, but she looked much more coordinated and more smooth than Grymek. I think this team will be much improved next year with the subtraction and addition of the new players plus this year has been a challenge for Slocum figuring out her role in the system. All in all, 26-8 and the Sweet 16 was a pretty good outcome for this team.
Good thoughts, but would she fit Schnell’s “nice girl” image. LOL
Sticks in my craw that anyone would credit Schnell with that observation. Hasn’t everyone seen that aspect of Rueck’s recruiting all along?
At least 5 defensive chances for Mendazona today and he’s nailed them all
1-0 Beavs going into the 8th
I think they found a third baseman.
Angry’s sad dukart won’t see the field
Missed most of the baseball game. I see Bailey is back to having .200 hitters in the top of the lineup. WTF. He is one dense fucking guy. I’m a Billy Bean stats guy myself, and these guys are not being put in the best place to succeed.
Gretler and Mendazona batting well for the last couple of games, and placed towards the bottom of lineup.
Ain’t it sweet, what getting ahead in the pitch count and keeping pitches low can do?
(pretty sure I heard PC say that.)
Pretty clear in last night’s crappy win that the Beavs have a leadership void.
all but Adley and Mendazona are lost at the plate.
But they do now get to face some lower level pitching the rest of the weekend. UW hasn’t played well vs good teams.
That leadership void is a mystery to me. With the way Adley handles pitchers I figured it would be natural for him to be one to keep others focused. There are a few others who have the experience to join him in that effort. Guys like Taylor and Malone. Maybe they’re hesitant because of their own performance so far.
Now Philip doesn’t have the history with the team, and he has his own problems, so even though his position and everyday status would make him a logical ally, I don’t see that happening. At least not right away.
BTW……wasn’t it nice to see TWO DP’s last night? (lookin’ at you, Mendazona)
Friday night conference road wins with your #1 pitcher unavailable are never “crappy”
Notable from today’s lineup:
Philip still leading off
McGarry batting 2nd
Malone cleanup
Ober #6
Mendazona #7
Jake Harvey playing 2nd, batting #8
A couple of doubles and a 3-run shot from Ober equal a 5-0 Beaver lead heading to B1st.
Oregon State has to be leading the country in fewest runs scored on bases loaded opportunities. Still 5-0 after 1 1/2.
Nice to see Philip getting 2 hits so far and an RBI to make it 6-3 after the t5
Well that sucked. Verberg got away with one last night.
Not so much today.
That ball was crushed off Verburg. But he gets the next 2.
Tied at 6 going into the 6th
Too soon Nate?
I thought Bryce was falling off, I think it was good to go to Verburg.
So often Bryce seems on the ropes, often working his way out of it. I agree though, today it didn’t feel that way.
I hope we got some offense left in the tank. We’re gonna need a couple more runs
Yesterday we had 5 hits through 4 innings and none the rest of the way
Beavs go down in order. Verburg gets in trouble but gets out of it. Still tied at 6 going into the 7th
Safety squeeze! Beavs up 7-6, still batting in the 7th
Bases clearing 3 run double for Adley! Ripped a liner off the left field wall. 10-6 Beavs
Clutchman a 3 RBI double makes it 10-6 good guys!
What a stud.
Are we trying to set a school record for base runners getting thrown out at second?
Wainhouse is one big mofo.
JAKE !!
10-7 final, Beavs win with 12 hits for 37 at bats, and 7bb.
A lot more competitive at bats today.
Yes, overall better plate discipline.
Any thoughts on the McGarry move? Gets the start, comes up, K’s, is replaced. Bailey going hard core? Saw something enlightening? Hmmm.
I mean that’s rough for McGarry but he’s fallen down hard.
Bailey is telling the team he means business. How the guys respond is anyone’s guess. The team had high expectations of themselves.
They won’t get any breaks after the uw series. 5 games next week. Everyone will need to contribute.
The only problem with making McGarry sit (i thought it was a great move) was that Jones looked as lost at the plate.
Optimistic outlook of the women’s team: Graduating senior contributions won’t be hard to replace. Gain three 5 star bigs who are athletic and get Tudor back. Will have the firepower to play with the top teams. Bench players are very experienced.
Pessimistic outlook: Not much player development throughout the year. No player stepped up in Tudor’s absence. Seemed like a few players took a step backward. No freshman had much impact. Too many games playing down to the opponent.
Rueck will have his most talented team next year so the expectations will be high.
I’m glad Tinkle hasn’t thought of scheduling Purdue or Virginia in the non-conference. That was an incredible display of fundamentally sound basketball and big shots under pressure for 45 minutes solid. Beaver would wilt by the first TV timeout in such an environment..
I would predict a 83-36 loss
… and an RPI 20 positions higher, because losing to aTm is soooooo much better.
WBB:
Steve Gress (who has seniority and was retained when the GT eliminated Lundberg) says:
https://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/basketball/commentary-don-t-fret-rueck-isn-t-going-anywhere-anytime/article_52305192-a5ff-5d52-9de6-72d77ba1e03e.html
Heh, heh, could Gress be A@a in disguise?
I like how Gress puts out a headline that reads like a factual statement (Rueck isn’t going anywhere) but you read the article and he offers no evidence and it’s purely just an unconvincing opinion piece. Thanks for wasting my time Steve.
I ended up getting free tix to the duck wbb game vs Miss St in Portland today. I’m sitting at Moda and would say the crowd looks like it will be 99/1 Oregon/MissSt fans. And Miss St is the 1 seed.
You think the NCAA wanted oregon to move on? I guess I don’t understand the point in being a higher seed.
And go Bulldogs
Not me. If I wrote it, I’d probably offer the proof I have.
Unsupported claims are just a coincidence. I’ll start to believe your premise when Gress starts to tell us that Pat Casey isn’t human.
Watching a bit of the WBB…how does Sabrina not get called for her lead arm out every single dribble?
Really tough to watch a game amongst this entitled fan base. They act like the deck is stacked against them on every play, while in a stadium that’s 99% duck fans.
Thankfully Duke loses.
I don’t know if that’s good or bad, now Coach K has more time to tape new episodes of the most boring radio show on the planet, “Basketball and Beyond”!
Get a week off from the Zion hype. Plus less Dukies this week in the Twin Cities.
Duke is on my daughter’s short list for schools, touring this summer, I’ll get you a tshirt
Nice work by Dylan P
This team has little plate discipline.
TV guy has two different guys playing first for da Beavs in the same at bat and neither are correct.
Jon Warren would be proud.
Uh oh mulholland gives up 2 hits to start the bottom of the 10th and we’re in big trouble here
Not so fast my friend……. Zac T with a great throw at the plate and Jake comes up huge,.
wow a grounder to first with a force at home, then a K, then a grounder to short and we’ve got new life
Studazona!
BOMB! Beavs up 4-3 and still batting in the 11th
Jones takes strike two right in the middle of the plate. Then pops up. Ugh.
Yeah he probably shouldn’t be in the 2 hole right now
That’s what she said…
Pj has a bad hammy according to Parker
Beavs win 4-3! Holy cow I can’t believe we pulled that one out
JAKE !!
Sweep! I think I like beating UW even more than the Ducks.
Meggs is a fucking goon, whoreton is just a fat goof
Pretty much. I must say the UW pitching coach seems like a decent guy, but he looks like he should be playing softball and pounding a 12 pack at the local diamond.
Quick take aways from this game:
1). Beavs win even after getting outplayed at the plate and fielding (errors/hits/strikeouts)
2). Guys other than Rutschman with game changing/winning RBIs — Philip and Mendazona.
3). Gotta work on hitting to contact. 15 strikeouts horrible.
4). Didn’t see them sweepin, even with a healthy Abel. BIG road sweep!
A much needed sweep after the portland fiasco. Shouldn’t lose any ground in the rankings now.
UW players other than Khale didn’t have much fight in them. Really thought UW would go for the safety squeeze with the bases loaded.
A lot of non-competitive at bats today after yesterday’s improvement. Made UW pitchers look like all stars at times.
I’d guess OF depth is an issue since Bailey doesn’t move off Jones, McGarry, Malone in the OF. he doesn’t trust anyone else.
Will need pitchers to step up this week with 5 games. I do expect Abel to throw in one of these games. Maybe Bailey held him out because of the innings they will need in this next week.
SUHWEEP BABY. 6-3 19-5-1 now let’s get Abel back and we’re in business. Second quality start for gambrell
After the lack of effort against Portland on Tuesday, certainly didn’t expect a road sweep of the leg humpers.
6 games in the next 8 days. All of them against inferior competition imo.
I just realized I’m at 99.4% in the AB Tourney bracket.
Somehow there are a lot of people with 100% nationally. Must have had their girlfriends throw darts at the bracket.
So what you’re saying is your girlfriend is not completely accurate?
Not all that surprising – March Madness is ho-hum predictability.
Surprising for me because I haven’t watched one college game other than the Beavs.
Exactly, you don’t have to watch, just know the names because the same old names make it, for the most part into at least the sweet 16 – just look at past years. Earlier rounds might have a surprise or two.
Wow! “Scott Barnes” emailed “personally” for a donation!
To angrybeavs?
Tell him to donate part of his salary since he’s screwing OSU with his inability to Direct.
I got one too. I replied that I’d donate as soon as he resigns. No response yet.
What’s up with football?
I asked a few days ago….apparently nothing. Its like football disappeared
OSU sucks at it same old same old
Actually, no reporting on a non-story should be a good thing in the long run. They shouldn’t get press unless they earn it. Better than the typical responses of “We’re grinding!” or “everyone’s getting stronger and/or faster!” Unless Gebbia is just tearing it up or the defense is wrapping up and tackling, there likely aren’t any real stories.
Big news conference Wednesday morning on the future of the AAF. If they go under there’s a chance, just chance that the Beavs could get Riley back yet again. Third times a charm as the old saying goes!
Yet a moron who posts here stated otherwise (youngorst).
The AAF was a failure from the get go and I stated as such.
Something about those who do not learn from the past comes to mind. And it applies to more than just the AAF.
None of these “out of season” leagues have ever worked and never will unless they are set up as a true minor league and funded by the NFL, but then they even pulled the plug on NFL Europe eventually. The NFL is the lord and master.
It seemed like a decent idea but there are only so many sports viewing hours to go around. Who decided to try to compete with March Madness for airtime?
Larry Scott?
TV ratings were not the problem so not really sure how this is relevant.
CBS had planned to use the AAF as a lead in for the Final Four on Saturday so TV definitely saw at least some value in the league.
The real test of spring football was not the AAF, they were poorly funded, chose bad markets, and because of those markets got no TV money. The XFL is funded heavily (500 million at least), is in big markets, and is rumored to be getting a TV deal that is better than MLS has (I am skeptical of this but that is the rumors) so if the XFL fails I think that will be when people can claim a spring league can never work.
And note, it very well may fail but like MLS succeeding when everyone knew soccer couldn’t make it in the US the XFL has the capital, markets, and people in charge to give it a chance. The AAF had none of that.
What people in charge?
Are you saying McMahon will have zero to do with this league? If that’s the case, then it has a chance to survive.
Soccer never worked in the US until it did.
Lots of experts on this board though. But I’m just a moron that apparently claimed the AAF would be bigger than the NFL within the year or something similar to that.
The USFL was highly successful until some loser decided to challenge the NFL directly through court proceedings and bankrupted a promising business. But this could have been written about any of that loser’s businesses.
What did I state about the AAF? I don’t recall ever claiming the AAF would be a massive success.
But whatever you think I said must have really meant something to you to pull it out what must be months later so I am guessing you can quote me.
Now, I have stated that spring football can work. And I stand by that opinion. The AAF was underfunded from the get go, went to minor league cites therefore got no TV money (literally none), and was always relying on the NFL for its survival so I doubt I eve said anything about the AAF surviving long term.
Just to add on, for any spring league (or really any new league of any kind) to survive it will need to be ready to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for upwards of a decade. I never saw the AAF being willing to do that. XFL 2020 might be though which might be the league I was talking about. Vince McMahan seems willing to spend at least half a billion dollars. The AAF never had anything close to that kind of commitment.
Even MLS lost hundreds of millions of dollars in its first decades, nearly folding at times. But it had investors willing to lose money. That is the key.
Oh and since you feel free to call me a moron. I think I will go ahead and call you out as the asshole you clearly are.
Thanks.

Reaching out to some angrybeavs business folks here……………
Mortgage company complaint question
Long story short…………..I get a letter in the mail from my mortgage company stating this is a collection attempt. We have not received your mortgage payment due on March 5. Letter dated March 21. So, I go to my mobile banking thru my credit union and find out in fact that my mortgage payment that was due March 5 had in fact been paid. The check had also cleared and been cashed the same day. This is the 2nd time this has happened in the last year and a half. The last time after I provided an electronic copy of the check supplied from my credit union that had been cashed it was misapplied to someone else’s account.
Excuse me? Once is a mistake or anomaly. Twice? Me thinks something is a little more fucked up going on here.
For the record, this house will be on the market Thursday. That’s been in the works since last year. I will be done with this financial institution soon and would not recommend ANYONE do business with them.
Their name rhymes with Ditech,
Where do I direct my complaint? BBB? Attorney generals office? Elsewhere????
It sounds like you’re having your bank send a paper check through the mail. That process takes up to a week, is subject to US Mail error/delays and human error once it reaches the mortgage lender.
You might see if your checking account bank offers an electronic transfer option. It would need to have a relationship with the lender and most big institutions do. Enter in your mortgage account number into the app and you should be good to go. The transfer takes two business days, instead of a week and is secure from human error.
Not sure you any sort of consumer complaint other than aggravation. You can go after them for any damage to your credit rating due to their incompetence. Good luck.
I’m guessing the paper check goes out on the same calendar day each month, but Feb you have 2-3 less days(and a Sunday mixed in) for the mail to reach it’s destination and clear. And the 5th must be the end of the grace period for them to have such a quick trigger on their late payment notice.
Like PB said, unless it damages your credit, not much else you can do besides give them a bad review on angrybeavs and be glad you won’t have this issue to deal with soon.
Perhaps Newman has your mail route.
I have Ditech too after USAA sold them my loan. Did you get the, “we’re going bankrupt but it’s all good, keep sending you mortgage checks” letter? I’m escaping them as well at the end of the year when the house is paid off. I’ve never had problems but I use the process Pettibone described.
OT – Does UO’s women’s basketball team have a good chance at making it to the championship game?
1 in 4 chance
Outscoring Baylor will be tough. Their 3 pt shooters will need to be on. They were Sunday vs Miss St, which is the main reason they won that game. That and the home crowd helped a ton with momentum in the 2nd half.
I don’t rule out them winning the whole thing which would be an insufferable conclusion.
I agree… they could easily win it. IMO they have the best player in the country on their team and she’s ultra competitive.
In an effort to change the subject from UO’s WBB team…
Does anyone know what the deal is with Max Lenzy?
He’s rated as a 4* and had offers from UO and OSU’s former coaching staffs. Now being pursued by Idaho, Utah State and Purdue, which are teams that OSU competes with for recruits. Has interest from Harvard so it shouldn’t be grades.
Is there more to this story, because he seems like JS’s kind of local kid.
Good example of trusting the offers more than the ratings. Also Rivals has him rated 3*. 247 is the only 4* rating I see for Max.
My theory is both OSU and UofO really wanted to sign his older brother Braden last year, so they made an offer for little brother in an effort to encourage Braden to stay in state. But Braden went to Notre Dame, so the little brother offer ceased to exist. (Also coaching staff changes could have played into why he wasn’t re-offered by the Beavs/ducks)
He’s the kind of kid who will get a p5 offer the night before the Feb signing day if the school has struck out on everyone else.
Or a school like UCLA offers him during his senior year once he shows some improvement from his Jr year and then suddenly everybody else jumps on the bandwagon.
Ah, that makes sense about his older brother. Pretty fucked up at the same time. Sounds like he is a gamer but probably won’t have the speed to play corner in the P12. He should gain 15# and play safety.
I kinda like Kim Mulkey. C’mon Texas Realtor, win one for the Beav!

RIP AAF.
Does Bike Smiley come back as more than a consultant?
What’s the tally for Mike Riley hirings/exits at OSU? I think it’s currently at 4
Hired as HC in the mid 90’s, took an NFL job after the 1997 season.
Hired again as HC in the early 2000’s, left in 2014 for Nebraska.
Hired again, as Assistant to the HC in 2017, left a few months later for AAF
Hired again as Advisor to the HC in early 2018, left to concentrate on AAF job.
Will he be back again in early 2019? What are the odds?
over 100%
Here’s a tweet that is very hard to disagree with:
I notice this came out after Destiny was selected as honorable mention All American, apparently the only Beav gal to get a national award.
Speaking of Beav gal, what happened to our own ab Beavgal (Beavgirl?)?
D1 baseball just put out their mid season tourney projection.
Pac 12 solidly represented. 6 teams in. 4 top 8 seeds. Beavs at #3.
Beavs non conf opponents, west Virginia, coastal, Indiana, Oklahoma St make it in.
This team is so irritating to watch at the plate sometimes.. first four batters:
Strikeout looking
Strikeout looking
Adley battles and gets a single
Strikeout looking
Tweedt really struggling. SDSU is a solid team (making the tournament the last 3 or 4 years) gonna kick Beav ass with the way this team is batting and pitching.
Add terrible baserunning to that list too.. Ober gets tossed out by 8 feet trying to go 1st to third on a one-hopper to the left fielder
Was that a coaching error or did Ober try take 3rd against the coach’s signal?
Couldn’t tell on the stream
Adley follows up his double by running into a fielder’s choice on a ground ball to short?
He should taken a timeout and kicked a FG from second base.
Gonna need a touchdown to go with that field goal. Both pitchers can’t find the plate. Batters need to be patient — Aztec pitcher starting to unravel.
So, McGarry batting #2 and Harvey #8……….hmmm.
Oh, and Adley 1b, and not DH?
Hammy? Jones baits Aztecs and moves from 2b to 3b on routine fly to CF.
Nonchalant initial move to tagup lulled Aztecs, we’ll see that again this season……….and Casey smiles.
Still, 4-3 Aztecs going to the 9th.
Lose a midweek game after a PAC sweep?
Beavs weren’t alone in loosing a midweek non-con game.
These midweek games are tough when the other team is playing to win and the Beavers are playing to save pitching for the weekend. Last year they were so good teams didn’t always burn up their good pitchers and the hitting was good enough it often didn’t matter who the Beavers had on the mound.
Chamberlain gets the start today, Joe Casey DH batting second. Adley catching, Ober at first.
GO BEAVS !
Streamed by the school, make that The School.
https://pac-12.com/live/pac-12-plus
Thanks.
I like to see Joe Casey at or near the top of the lineup. He draws a lot of walks and he’s our best base stealer at 4 for 5 on the year
Only adley, Tyler Malone and joe have fewer strikeouts than walks this year
Through 6 the Beavs have 9 LOB
Still, lead 5-1 on 5 hits and 8 bb.
Chamberlain, Walling, Pfennigs 2 innings each…….that’s the way a mid week game should be used.
Hey angry! Dukart’s in. t8 with Beavs up 8-1
Rumor – a wbb player might be transferring. Only heard it from one source (but credible in the past) and Rueck doesn’t have a big history of players transferring so I’d say a small chance of being true.
A strong lineup next season, playing time gonna be at a premium.
I wonder if Aleah’s tweet posted here yesterday afternoon indicates anything, Notice her mention of “people need to stop looking at the hype around players and actually watch them play…”
Perhaps tension over the press surrounding Destiny?
I’m thinking a post player transferring would be more likely.
We lose Grymek, but add Aquino, plus Kennedy Brown is one of the top freshman in the country, and we also are adding 6’9″ Serbian, Jelena Mitrovic.
Or someone like Jasmine Simmons I could see wanting to transfer considering she was seldom used, is far from home, and we have Taylor Jones coming in next year who would likely take minutes before Simmons. Team should have really good depth next year if everyone gets/stays healthy.
“Clearly something changed in the past week.”, says Lundeberg on Bailey’s announcement this evening that Abel will not pitch this weekend and the team will “find out more information on Monday”
This after previous word that Abel was throwing bullpens and making steady progress.

Well that’s a kick in the nads.
TO: Scot Barnes From: Mike Riley Former Head Coach San Antonio Commanders
Hi Scott…. Hold off on that new uniform order from Nike. I might be able to get you a heck of deal on an entire teams worth of “lightly used” AAF gear. It might require you to change the universities colors, but that’s no big deal. MR
PS: Looking forward to helping out with football this year. Will be back in Corvallis on Saturday. Let’s grab a cup and kick around some ideas. I don’t think Jon needs to be involved at this point, let’s keep it on the DL.
Golly, how’d you hack my email! What’s the world coming to, Jiminy Christmas!
I see where Canzano has chimed in on Muffet McGraw’s comment that only women should coach women’s basketball at the college level. (Lest anyone worry, I have an ad blocker.) He describes this, seemingly without irony given his history, as a “polarizing debate.”
The key section is when he asks, rhetorically, readers to imagine if an employee said “I’m not going to hire anybody who is–pregnant—disabled—Christian.” Such an act would, he states “not only go over like a lead balloon, it could be illegal under federal law.”
Of course, again ironically, were someone to add to his litany “an ex-convict” this too would be compelling, except, of course, Luke Heimlich isn’t an ex-con. And MLB’s not hiring him is also probably illegal under federal employment law.
What the hell is a Muffet McGraw?
She is the inventor of the Tuffet.
The Beav stream last night was much better than the PAC 12 Network. How is that possible?
Parker had a nice story about the legendary Dave from Tumwater getting Casey’s kid’s HR ball in Seattle and giving it to Pat. He must be a righteous dude.
Na, he’s just Dave from Tumwater.
What?
Of course “he’s going to be around”……….no surprise there!
Alumni golf and being welcome to watch practice, maybe OK; but more than that??
Trying to take the “glass half full” here, it may be telling that JS lumped Riley in with Dennis Erickson.
https://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/football/osu-football-beavers-back-on-the-field-after-break/article_ec3f4e49-19e3-5414-b06e-521f6b990c53.html
EDIT/ADD: Hard to stay with that “glass half full” thing after listening to Jonathan in this 2 minute piece put up by Ron Callan. Also mentioned is David Morris and the continuing hamstring situation……he may very well miss all of Spring.
https://twitter.com/roncallan
Hanging around like herpes eh?
Jesus, what is it with Beaver athletes snd chronic injuries??? Does anyone else feel like our athletes have a tougher time coming back from injuries than normal? Do we have sub-standard PT methods/personnel?
Until OSU can secure a genuinely visionary, motivated AD, this is unlikely to meaningfully change. Many programs trade on their past as “tradition,” its just that OSU Beavers Football tradition – as measured by Riley – is lower than most some programs. Really, Riley gets a pass because of the 28-year losing streak.
We have to HOPE Casey returns to baseball, Rueck’s team next year has someone one(s) with killer mindset and ice in their veins and accept that all other sports (gymnastics excepted?) will be mediocre.
Why does MR get a pass for something of which he was a part?
Without MR, it would have only been 26 years.
https://share.transistor.fm/s/b019d86b Bobs lundeberg podcast
Sedge must have a new sucker….I mean writer working for them. He writes a pretty good practice report, probably one of the better recaps I’ve seen from OSU media actually.
It’s short, but from the sound of it, OSU football is still not very good.
https://oregonstate.rivals.com/news/oregon-state-beavers-football-day-7-spring-practice-nuggets
I don’t like these excuses how we’re dropping passes because of rain.
It does sound like we still suck, and it’s concerning these coaches think Luton is the answer.
A drive killing missed field goal from Choukair on the first drive.
Drive killing missed receptions on the 2nd drive.
Drive killing INT by Luton on the 3rd drive.
Defensive miscue allowing a wide open receiver on the 4th drive.
Yep, OSU football is back, baby!!
We just need misuse of timeouts and a few broken ankles while using the slip and slide on that list.
We’re only 2 weeks through Spring ball. Plenty of time to work those into the rotation.
We have “playing the wrong QB” nailed, too. That’s a yearly staple.
Don’t forget slow healing/possibly season ending injury to starting TE.
I say “possibly” because we love to hang on to that shred of hope that a guy is going to come back mid-season, but we all know how these things play out.
So it sounds like the team is in midseason form and it’s only halfway through spring ball. We’re back baby!
Only one downer left for this spring, and Eggers hints it is coming, he says, “Riley 65, is likely to continue with his position as a consultant on Jonathan Smith’s staff at Oregon State.
https://portlandtribune.com/pt/12-sports/424628-330093-on-ionescu-wiese-psus-peery-the-aaf-and-more
Oh, and Sabrina “already is a big deal among basketball fans in the Eastern bloc. She speaks fluent Romanian…”
I was wrong about the TE injury. This Blitz practice reports says Togiai is back at practice, but Morris, Bradford and Lindsey are all out with injuries. 1 step forward, 3 steps back.
https://247sports.com/college/oregon-state/Article/Oregon-State-Beavers-Spring-Camp-2019-Day-7-injuries-transfers-130889195/
How is Choukair still our kicker?
Can’t we grab a lady off the soccer team? At least that would be an interesting story, and if she’s attractive we’d at least have that to look at. What’s Mandy doing these days?
If he is still kicking by the start of the season Smith should be shit canned. I like the female kicker idea. We could dig up one of the old sports bra uni’s for her.
I like the sports bra idea for a lady kicker. That brings up a good question: can a player on the team wear a different uni than everyone else? I don’t think so. But it would be good in that scenario.
What’s Mandy doing these days?
C’mon angry, don’t all you bloggers/podcasters hang together?
Mandy has been podcasting on her “Inspired by her” operation. Recently talked with a real AD, Jennifer Cohen of UW, she even had one with The Realtor several months back.
https://twitter.com/inspiredby_her
ooops, looks like that last podcast was in 2017. Try Basketball Recruiting Advisor for Jill Hicks Consulting instead.
Maybe I’m an asshole, but to me it’s serious business when the kicker costs a shitty team starving for wins one game and almost another with a missed extra point. If I remember correctly, Choukair sent out some cocky/defensive tweets showing that he doesn’t get it.
I’m also not impressed with Smith’s blase attitude with this. There should be accountability unless there are no other options which I guess present another set of issues with the program.
It’s a knock on Smith for sure. He should have addressed this.
Mandy’s project went nowhere. She should have stuck with coaching?
Can she kick?
I thought we had a couple PWO kickers coming in. Do you know when PWO’s arrive, is it not till fall? Jeffery Nelson of Clackamas is who I remember.
Both walkon kickers are still in highschool
Yes, Chuck, I think there were other kickers but wonder if they aren’t yet on campus. Same applies to Center, thought we expected a guy who Coach M worked with at AZ. Is that prospect for center still expected for Fall but not now on the roster? Nicebeaver?
Nathan Eldridge(C) is a grad transfer. I dont know what term he plans to enroll though. Hopefully by Summer
One of those walk-on kickers has to be better than Choukair.
My thoughts exactly Angry…. at this point it’s hard to believe they won’t be better… Have Chokair as a kickoff specialist… Let the kids do the important work
Well, there’s always next year.
Weather not cooperating for baseball. Doesn’t hurt the beavs if the series is cut short.
Looking ahead to the rest of the year, 29 games left. Losses to Utah or wsu would be bad losses. All other opponents have good rpis. Surprised how high Portland is this year.
Win half the games, should be hosting. Win 60 percent, will be a top 8 seed.
Impending weather moves Sundays game to DH on Saturday. Game 1 first pitch 12:05pm
Baylor’s going to win this game. Biggest difference, their star made shots in the last few minutes, Ionescu did not.
“I mean” Sabrina scored zero in both the first AND fourth quarter if I heard correctly.
“I mean” pretty sure this won’t stop the adoration.
That’s a shame…..
So I can only assume that you speak your second language flawlessly?
Pettibonehead is a duck? Say it ain’t so
That would certainly explain his coaching record #duckmole
One of the better lineups I’ve seen from the coaches. Need a sweep.
AR ia a stud
And it all started with 2 outs. Nice to see Preston patient at the plate to draw the walk, things snowballed from there leading to AD’s homerun.
Beavs up 6-0 t3.

OT but any of you guys know a nice video or site to learn how to score a baseball game?
Son’s baseball team needs a score keeper and well I guess I’m it.
I often see people with apps on their ipads at Goss tracking the games. I could see something like that making your life easier.
I dont know of any tutorials though
Doesn’t matter if you watch a video, learning in person is the fastest way to learn.
If you’ve never scored a game, there’s a few things you need to do right all the time.
1. Know who is supposed to be up to bat at the start of each inning. Use the player’s numbers to identify. It’s the easiest way.
2. Score the runs each inning. the rest of the details are less important.
3. Keep the ball strike count on each batter. Umpires sometime forget the count. If the ump has the wrong count, let him know.
Sit behind the plate if you can. Helps identify players quickly.
If the teams start subbing, don’t be afraid to speak up and ask who subbed for who.
And always ask for help if you really don’t know.
Thanks for the info. Is there much that different than a box score? and or the live stats?
Great input from Bill (no surprise), especially for a parent scoring youth games.
Only time you’ll be more on the spot than scoring is if you get called on to substitute ump (don’t ask how I know, lol).
A good scorebook should have some instructions as to how to note each at bat, type of out made or type of hit – grounder/liner/fly and to which field.
If you find one, send a link to Jon Warren.
Seems like the league should have a class for that, I know in corvallis they did. Scorekeeper should be a breeze, just be thankful you didn’t get roped into a position as umpire, I had that pleasure 3 years, that freaking sucked.
Nice to see the fightin’ Meonescus get bounced finally, especially by a team Rueck is 2-0 against in the tourney
And by another Realtor to boot!
They finally had to travel and that combined with a short bench didn’t help.
As much as I dislike the ucks and all they stand for, they did stay in it all the way. Now uck fans are going all “glass half full” convinced that the princess will return next season.
REALTOR NATION REPRESENT!!!!!!!
Clownzano did a blathering piece about Ionescu needing to stay another year because she will get more exposure with Nikegon. Eggers did a detailed piece explaining the European options for her among other things, he thinks she’s going to leave. The contrast was interesting.
We will know if shes staying by Sunday evening. She only has 48 hours after her last game to declare for the wnba draft. And shes only allowed to declare because she has a december birthday.Those gals have some weird rules.
She has no financial incentive to turn pro, it’s all about her.
I think she’ll stay. Unless Nike is offering some kind of endorsement deal.
Phils checking his couch cushions for loose change as we speak.
What’s to stop nike from offering some type of extra incentive in her upcoming shoe deal, if she stays in college an extra year. Seems like it would be easy enough to inflate the contract value as a thank you.
JAKE !!
Beavs win 6-2.
Anyone looking for a Twitter fight today? “Best catcher in college baseball” lol

“By a lot”
Ehhh, people have the right to their own delusional and incorrect opinions ;)
Lundeberg tweets weather looks shakey for a DH today.
Lineup similar to the first game; Willy batting 8, McMahan 9, Philip still leadoff, Gretler DH.
On the bench: McGarry.
Fehmel cruisin’, 68 pitches through 6.
Beavs up 8-0 still in the b6
Nice to hear Parker mention Jonathan Smith watching a game vs SDSU with Pat Casey. Is competitiveness contagious??
Bryce!!
Complete game, 11-0 win.
104 pitches, 5 hits, 4 K’s
Michael Avenatti may be one of the slimiest people in a slimy profession, but I certainly do appreciate his efforts to disrupt the rampant corruption that’s been going on in college recruiting. People keep saying Nike can’t be dirty because Avenatti is a dirtbag, but the two scenarios are not mutually exclusive. Maybe it’s the worst kept secret that players are making money on the side, and I also dont care if the players cash in on their fame. But we at least need a transparent process in college recruiting if we are ever to believe there’s a level playing field in these competitions. Is that too much to ask for?

Lol of course NCAA officials would miss a double-dribble call in the last 20 seconds of a Final Four game.
It’s looking like it would’ve been better if Game 3 was rained out, instead of dropping one to Utah.
Utah starter was good, now gone. Lets see what their reliever can do. B7, 2-1 Utes with one down and Preston at 2b, Harvey at bat, oops Fuchs to PH for Harvey. Harvey has been doing well, not sure if this is smart move.
They Fuched up.
Fuchs couldn’t do it (3 pitch K) but Clutchman HR with one out in the B8 makes it 2-2.
Wow,
7-8-9 hitters due up in the t9, GO JAKE!
Gotta take care of business in the bottom 9th!
Did it look to anybody else that he missed the tag at third? Not complaining.
McMahan doing a good job in CF. That double play to end the t9 and now the first out in the t10.
God this lineup sucks! Casey and Malone have no business batting at or near the top.
3-2 Beavs walkoff 11th inning on Jones RBI double.
JAKE !……..not as sharp as usual but got the job done. Gets the W facing 17 and giving up 3 hits, 5 K’s, 1bb, but NO RUNS.

Gymnastics is going to nationals. 1 of the final 8 teams in the nation this year.
Without an airport…..
Consistently excellent. She is a great coach.
Bill, was it you who called eva westbrook would leave Tennessee wbb? If so, nice call.
What if she ends up at Nikegon?
I wonder how much Nike will offer to pay her to come to Oregon?
I dont remember if she had intrest in Ionescu University. Wasnt it tenn, OSU and stanford were her final 3?
Tenn, Maryland, OSU. Doesn’t really matter for transferring though, Slocum was committed to Washington before ending up at Maryland, no interest in OSU. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Evina end up at Oregon.
Westbrook is class of 2017, and most likely isn’t eligible yes to grad transfer, so she would likely need to sit 1 year, wherever she goes. Although we’ve seen hardships granted left and right by the NCAA lately, so I could see her somehow suiting up for a final 4 run for Oregon next year because of some legal loophole.
There haven’t really been any serious rumors yet about where she’ll end up though.
Never say never.
OT: Michael Avenatti released 41 pages worth of documents detailing Nike corruption in paying players to go to Nike schools today. I’ve linked it below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ruwyotghvprxg7b/Nike%20Corruption.pdf?dl=0
Haven’t had the time to look through all of it yet, but from what I have seen, it does look pretty damning.
Our favorite Duck WBB player is coming back.
I saw Pettibonehead’s is coming back, too
No shoe deal? For Pettibonehead.
Nothing wrong with acknowledging excellence. I also like Justin Herbert and Marcus Mariota. I know lots of Ducks that are fans of Adley for the same reasons. Let’s be reasonable.
True, viva los Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos
I don’t recall Herbert or Mariota pitching fits and storming off during losses
Nike offered to match her WNBA salary if she stayed in school
For those of you watching the Final Four, they had to put black out curtains on all the glass in US Bank Stadium to satisfy the NCAA requirements. 5 million dollars worth! Half of the roof and the ends are glass.
Luke Heimlich was assigned to the opening day roster for the Nuevo Laredo Mexican league club

I’m sure Crapzano and Tracy will join the little oompa loompa’s plan to shutdown the border now.
He plays for the Dos Laredos Tecolotes. A “tecolote” is an owl in Spanish. It’s also, ironically, a reference to a “cop.” i.e. a “tecolote” busted me.
Some interesting tidbits:
Bryce Fehmel’s win was his fifth of the year but also the 31st of his career. He surpassed Ken Noble (1975-78) for sole possession of third. Fehmel now trails only Ben Wetzler (2011-14) and Luke Heimlich (2015-18) for most in a career; each had 36.
Shutouts
Bryce The shutout was the third of Fehmel’s career, which puts him into a tie for ninth at Oregon State.
Winning Percentage
By improving to 31-5 all-time, Fehmel also increased his winning percentage to .861. He narrowly trails teammate Sam Tweedt (.867) for fourth at OSU. Tweedt is 13-2 since joining the program in 2015.
Most of Tweedt’s wins have come against non-conference opponents while Fehmel’s wins against conference opponents. Not to take anything away from Tweedt necessarily but Fehmel has pitched against tougher competition in my opinion.
UCLA and ASSU both won today. Beavs now in a 3-way tie for 2nd with those two teams. Stanford leads by 1/2 game. I don’t considering anyone else to even be a contender for the Pac-12 title. Huge series next weekend in Tempe for the Beavs. Gonna be tough for the Beavs with all three series against those teams on the road (already dropped the FUCLA series).
Weren’t we supposed to hear some Kevin Abel news this week or is that update supposed to be tomorrow?
Tree 7-2
OSU 9-3
FUCLA 9-3
ASSU 9-3
Abel update due Monday.
Lift with your knees, men

Boyd’s World iterative strength rankings have the Pac 12 in the 1st through 4th spots:
1) UCLA
2) OSU
3) Stanford
4) Arizona State
5) UC Santa Barbara
6) Vanderbilt
Also saw that Adley leads the nation in on base percentage and walks. He’s 8th in batting avg and 13th in homers.
Brandon Eisert is 3rd in the nation in ERA with 0.75
D1 moves Beavs up to #4, ASU down to 13.
UCLA #1, Stanford 5
Worth noting, Musselman leaves Nevada for Arkansas (maybe this is old news). It was mentioned here OSU should have gone after him when looking for a coach when the Tinkle hire happened. If Arkansas was able to get him then I’d think Beavs had a pretty good chance. Now we can compare apples to apples with him coaching in a power 5 conference.
Waiting for an important rebound to land in the middle of three of his players :)
Asu will be an interesting series. Asu offense vs OSU pitching.
Also, asu doesn’t carry a full roster. Only 27 guys. Light on pitching.
So if Beavs can get to the bullpen early, asu has to really stretch out guys. Hopefully warm weather heats up the bats.
WSU transfer Myles Green Richards gets his 1 year sitting period waved(reason unknown) and will be available for OSU this season.
At this point, if the NCAA requires a transfer to sit, it will be the exception rather than the norm.

Did aunt patty lock him in an shed?
He had to walk the plank with a parrot on his shoulder.
Holy crap we recruit some of the worst players of any university west of the Mississippi. We are going to be dog shit for sooooo long!
Our offensive line next year is worse than Westerns! Linfields roster has more talent top to bottom again! How does this happen? We are supposed to be a god damn power 5 program and the lowest division teams are roundhouse kicking us in the face nearly every year!
Really? I thought oregon was supposed to have some good talent returning next year, but I’ll take your word for it.
Good luck with that elusive national championship bought by Uncle Phil!
With Phil past 80, his next steps are likely a huge endowment to UO and then to be cryogenically frozen in hopes of being revived if they ever win an NCAA championship under the endowment terms. His “Cryo-Pod” will no doubt have elements of Nike shoe tech, digitally controlled color schemes to match the uniform of the day, and be mobile so it can be moved from the men’s football locker room to the men’s basketball locker room for the remainder of Earth’s natural life.
And he’ll come out with broken bones in his feet.
The Pods soul will blow out upon movement.
So Baylor women win the women’s basketball title. Quote at the end about Brown:
“Mulkey calls Brown the “kindest, sweetest kid.” But when she arrived at Baylor, the coach said, she needed to embrace her size and learn to lean in, instead of blend in.
“It’s O.K. to raise your voice and holler, ‘Give me the ball,’ ” Mulkey said.”
OSU women’s basketball – from the sounds of their reticence to shoot in the tournament – needs similar growth in aggressiveness from someone(s)?

Pat.

Oh well, more $ for Barnes.
FTD and go Beavs…
Evina Westbrook has been working out at our gym every afternoon around 2:00. It must mean that she has not enrolled in spring classes at UT. Will be interesting to see where she lands.
Are you physically spying on her or just facebook stalking? Is she doing this in oregon or Tennessee?
Tres Tinkle has declared for the draft, hasnt hired an agent though. has till May 29th to back out
Malone batting #5 today,
Mendazona, Harvey, McMahan make up the bottom three, seems like any of those three is hitting better than Malone at the moment………….subject to change
Not so fast. Malone is 2nd on the team in walks and has an on base percentage higher than those 3.
He shouldn’t be batting 5th….have him bat 2nd in Casey’s spot to set the table for the mashers, otherwise have him bat 9th, …..to set the table….
Yeah but Casey gets on base a lot too, higher OBP than Mendazona, Harvey, McMahan. He’s gotten on 3 times thru 4 at bats today, plus he’s a good base runner.
He sure did a nice job on that slide into home!!
So at what point do we close the books on the Sam tweedt experiment?
Shit the bed 3 starts in a row.
Schmucks playing like they had this one circled on the calendar. The lineup sucks AGAIN!
from here on he’ll only work innings to save the bullpen when OSU has a big lead. Burns will be the next mid=week starter.

Viva los Tecolotes!
Tecolotes lost 5-4 in 10 innings. Can’t tell how long Luke was on the mound.
Luke pitched 5 innings and had a no-decision.
“Union Laguna hit a pair of solo home runs in the second inning, but over the rest of his five innings Heimlich allowed just three hits and two walks with five strikeouts.”
Nuevo Laredo, Tamps. (www.tecolotes2laredos.com / Juan Alanís) April 9th.- The Canadian Michael Crouse put on his hero’s outfit when he shot a single with a full house in the bottom of the tenth episode, thus giving the triumph 5 races to 4 to Algodoneros over the Dos Laredos, at the start of the series in laguna territory.
The relief of the Dominican Frankie De La Cruz (1-0) was favored with the triumph in work of three innings of a race, three hits, three strikeouts and a passport.
For Tecolotes, the lost game was for Román Méndez (0-1), who worked in the ninth inning and four men in the tenth, with three hits, two strikeouts, the same number of passports and the difference race.
The Two Cities team (3-1) started on the scoreboard from the first inning on the pitching of starter Saul Castellanos with productions by Roberto Valenzuela and Balbino Fuenmayor. The American Johnny Davis, who ran on the trails due to a pineapple by the initialist, and Valenzuela himself, opened the board when they reached the home plate.
The difference moved 3-0 for the visitors in the second inning, when Luis Flores scored after receiving four bad throws, and later Rudy Flores pushed him with a single to left field.
In his professional baseball debut, left-handed American Luke Heimlich was greeted with pair of homers by Michael Crouse and Enrique Pere007A, squeezing the board at the bottom of the second roll.
The 23-year-old worked five complete episodes of five fans, equal number of hits, two runs and pair of passports.
It was until the eighth act that the feathered ones would extend the advantage over the pitching of Frankie De La Cruz, with simple producer of Juan Martinez, who pushed Josh Rodríguez for the 4-2 partial.
The draw came in that same inning with back-to-back home runs by Niuman Romero and Viosergy Rosa, on the pitches of the young Yucatecan Gerardo Gutiérrez.
Finally, with the bases filled at the close of the tenth, Algodoneros (1-3) turned the scoreboard over with unstoppable Crouse right field over Román Méndez, so that Francisco Ferreiro scored and unleashed the madness in the Stadium of the Revolution.
In Tecolotes, they saw action in the relay Jeff Ibarra (0.2IP, 1H, 2K), Ivan Zavala (0.1IP, 1K), Pedro Rodriguez (1.0IP, 2K) and Jose Meraz (0.2IP, 1BB).
For those of Torreón, Vanny Valenzuela (1.1IP, 1K) and Román Peña (1.0IP, 1K) relieved.
This Wednesday, starting at 7:30 p.m., the second duel of the series presents as probable starters to right-handers Kenneth Sigman, of Tecolotes, and Alejandro Martínez, of Algodoneros.

The pitching tonight has been bi-polar
Well, that was disappointing. 10 LOB, etc, etc.
Philip could be a bigger loss though.
Abel to undergo tommy john surgery per bob lundeberg.. LOTB
Jeez that’s tough. Jace Fry, Drew Rasmussen, Kevin Abel.
Why were they spreading that bullshit story about his back? And he’s been throwing bullpen sessions?
WTF? Well that makes a return to Omaha unlikely. This will be blamed on the CWS final by the talking heads.
concur
let the recriminations begin
Abel having Tommy John surgery.
When it rains…
Now the media is going to jump all over OSU for pitching him extended innings in the CWS, because no story can be told without a little controversy
He didn’t play summer ball and I don’t think he pitched in the fall either. Wonder if they’ve suspected this since Omaha
Probably not. It’s pretty normal routine for the Beavs pitchers to take the summer off. Only guys who saw limited action play summer ball.
TJ is usually an accumulation over several years. But one could look at the number of pitches thrown in the final series. It was a lot.
the gory onion will lead the charge. Canzano waving the flag at the head of the column
We should see him back towards the middle to end of next year.

That was some bad baseball. Tweedty Bird has earned a permanent place on the bench.
Chamberlain has the classic college pitcher meltdown. Several defensive screwups extend innings.
The cherry on the top is our SS getting injured and the Abel news. Crap.
There aren’t other options so he’s going back out there for the mid week games.
Burns, Verburg and Mundt are viable options for mid week
All the freshmen are on the clock. They need to prove they can’t do it. Sam has already done that.
Abel talks about the leadup to deciding on TJ surgery here. Also concerned people are going to come after Casey/Yeskie.

Need some good news? Kwan is starting off very well in advanced A ball.

Anyone going to the spring ball scrimmage this weekend. First chance to see Gebbia.
Anybody know if the stadium has a roof over the seating? Looks like a new HS, and the few pics i’ve seen just show bleachers, but they could be outdated.
At the risk of sounding like a literal fair weather fan, I’ll be going if they have a roof or if the forecast says no rain. Otherwise, I can think of better ways to spend Saturday with my kids
No roof.
The school is near enough to Sherwood that accessing it from the south is probably best through Sherwood.
