@angry are you going to give me any credit? Been saying this for awhile with multiple sources since back during football season. Thanks for reconfirming.
Casey seemed too young to me to retire, I think he has several good years left. He seemed conflicted about coaching his son. I think Joe is a solid starter for next season. To play or not play Joe, should not cause any anguish.
He never wanted the retire thing. He wanted a year away and barnes scheduled a press conference bringing attention to the situation casey didn’t want. He wanted a year away and I’m glad he is sticking to that.
Truth of the matter is, Joe Casey is the only outfielder, for whom the outfield is his natural position, that’s coming back next year. I think the biggest problem this year is that we had too many wannabees playing outfield, like poor McMahon who is really an infielder, playing in the outfield. Even Malone was just serviceable. The other cascading factor was Andy Peterson’s lack of offensive productivity. That caused a revolving door at second base, in the search for offense, which began to effect third base as well. Hopefully Andy can settle in next year as a team leader.
That’s the way he seemed to me as well. The Heimlich “circus” had to be made even more maddening with the involvement (lack of) Barnes and Ray. Add to that a second chance to watch a son play w/o being his coach.
I doubt Casey wants to spoil Adley’s big day, an announcement mid week makes sense. As said before, the only reason I think he’d not come back would be having to work for Barnes/Ray. One down now.
BTW angry………I’d be disappointed if you failed to check out the pic of Marie I linked in the last thread. You other degenerates as well!!
I’m not sure if ironic is the right word, but without the “Heimlich circus”, Luke would have been gone after his junior season. I know he did not pitch well in the tournament, but he certainly was one of the best pitchers in the nation during the regular season. It may have burned out Casey, but it helped immensely to have him for the season also and the administration did not challenge Casey to have Luke on the roster.
a lot of it had to do with Heimlich, trust me. One reason that Casey is coming back is that Ed Ray is leaving. Casey was really upset with the way Ray handled the Heimlich case.
Eggers says he has “no inside info” yet he expects a news conference by Tuesday announcing Casey’s return. Sure seems like he has inside info to put that out there.
I saw on Twitter today that Oregon went after Casey and he declined. Nothing official just rumors really. I’m also seeing people say their going after Too Late Nate too. Those poor ducks, giving themselves wet dreams thinking about poaching our coaches
Bailey is a good assistant at this level; that said, if the choice was to lose him or Nate I’d vote to keep Nate for two reasons: 1) age, and 2) his area of expertise.
The person that mentioned the bailey raise thing is way closer to pat than you will ever be. Seems like a good source to me. Everyone needs to understand words were put into Casey’s mouth. He didn’t want the big retirement announcement and attention. Think of it as urban Meyer taking a year away for health and then coming back. No one complains about that when he wins, leaves, then comes back and wins. I look forward to looking back on these threads when Casey helps some of
you understand his logic.
i don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out Casey’s returning. I posted last year that he’d after I read his comments about not having any hobbies such as golf, fishing, etc and his statement that he’s a coach and that’s what he does. Coaches coach and it’s in their DNA until they’re too old or dead to continue to do so. Looking forward to coach Casey’s return and his forthcoming announcement.
Casey runs his program his way, and I assume he and Barnes butt heads about it.
Riddle me this… Have any of us ever seen the old angry poop smear or the new grumpy pitching wedge “official” University logos on Oregon State baseball uniforms? I can’t think of one. Block letters and cursive script, no cheesy Nike bullshit. One coach having the stroke to go against the grain is probably going to rub the douchebag AD the wrong way.
You have to wonder if Casey has been lobbying boosters to force Barnes out, and his “break” this year was a shot across the bow showing that he’s serious about it.
This seems plausible. Someone also mentioned that Barnes and Ray didn’t challenge Casey about having Heimlich in the lineup, but do we know that for sure? It seems like they probably did challenge him and he stood his ground. That would add to his frustration with the administration. This was a good way for Casey to get boosters’ attention and say something needs to change or I’m gone for good.
Ultimatums are rarely good.
We all know Barnes sucks so any move to remove him should succeed without Casey having to quit for a year or give ultimatums.
Heimlich’s “decision” not to play at the end of the 2017 season was Ray’s decision. Luke and Pat wanted to proceed, and they had the law on their side. Ray was afraid of Canzano and bad PR generally.
In recent recruiting developments, im keeping my eye on a nice looking JC CB who we are pursuing right now and would be available next season. Would probably be a package deal with his brother if they come here but his brother wouldnt be available till after December.
Talk kid with good speed. Would seem like an ideal type of player to bolster our defense immediately.
I’ll go ahead and put these names out there, and see how long before they start getting follows from Blitz and Sedge. CBs i’m tracking are brothers, from Oakland.
Nahshon Wright and Rejzohn Wright out of Laney College JC
Nahshon graduates this Spring and should be available immediately, but Rejzohn graduates in December and would be a 2020 guy.
I’m expecting to hear about an official visit date for 1 or both in the near future.
Nice payoff for all the work he’s done here. After the first year, it didn’t seem like he was going to be the next great catcher. The hit tool just wasn’t there. The fact that he was able to better his production a year ago with a much less talented lineup shows he’s less likely to bust.
Lots of comparisons to Posey. Will be curious to see where he starts in pro ball. Short season A ball or A ball. It doesn’t seem crazy that he could start at AA too.
Now, I’m seeing on Twitter that Casey in gonna take the Nebraska job. Someone also claims to have seen a red N pin on his sport coat. But no photo evidence.I’d like an official statement from osu & Casey by week’s end at the latest on what the deal is. I want to believe he’s coming back but man all these rumors are getting to me
We’ll see how high some of the recruits get drafted. That should tell you their level of commitment. It’s a strong recruiting class for pitchers. Really good ones coming to replace the ones leaving.
These are the three guys to watch,
Will Frisch
Drew Gilbert
Jack Washburn
If they fall out of the top 10 rounds, they are definitely coming here and should make an immediate impact.
One of the guys visiting this weekend (June 7th) is an former Arkansas LB, Kyrie Fisher. He will be on an unofficial visit, because he already had used up his 5 allotted official visits back when he was a class of 2017 recruit. He was previously committed to Minnesota and flipped late to Arkansas. He also had offers from the likes of Michigan State, Colorado, Houston, Texas, SMU and several others.
I’ve been told this one is pretty much a done deal and he will be a Beav. It just required the formality of a scholarship opening up(likely after spring term ends) and then his offer and transfer could become official.
Since he has gone the JUCO route, he would be available immediately for playing in 2019.
Still waiting to hear if the CB from earlier I mentioned, Wright from Trinity College, will be coming this weekend too.
Anyway, those are 2 immediately available defensive players who could potentially be on the OSU roster next season and another JC guy who could possibly be part of the 2020 class. All worth keeping an eye on.
Thanks as always Nice. Love getting the scoop here for free. Any idea on how many years of eligibility these guys would have? Any sense in their leanings towards OSU?
As you listen to Adley’s press conference, you can tell he/the players still feel like it’s Casey’s team. Whoever the coach is next year needs to be viewed by the players as the leader and guide for the program.
It is crazy how a guy like that can be 21 years old, the number 1 pick and doesn’t have the slightest hint of arrogance to him. I almost wouldn’t blame him if he were a little full of himself but that is not who he is.
Is Casey doing draft analysis again today or was that just a Day 1 of the draft thing? Hoping his logic for doing it was exposure before he heads out recruiting for the Beavs.
MLB needs to keep Milb teams stocked. Those teams provide good, affordable summer entertainment for many towns and small cities throughout the US. Phillip and Gambrell might find their ways to the big league but I don’t think I’ll bet on it. Meanwhile they have some money and an opportunity to keep playing in the minors.
SBNation has a preview of the Oregon State season. Predictably, it’s not very optimistic. I tend to think they’re underestimating the toll attrition/injuries/new scheme took on this team last year.
There was some decent defense played sporadically, but this team was always too thin and untalented last year to stop anybody for a sustained series. But, as the preview points out, we are returning experience and or higher caliber talent at nearly every position. But they still dont expect much improvement.
The one area i really wished we had fixed this offseason is kicker. Maybe one of the freshman walkons will win the job from Choakair, but that’s wishful thinking.
I agree. There were games where the D could hang with the offense of the other team for a quarter or two and then just got rolled in the second half. There were also games when the D got rolled the entire game because teams ran over the smaller front line and/or they couldn’t get off the field on 3rd down. Either way, Tibs has many more option to throw in there if guys aren’t getting it done or if someone goes down.
I also think the experience the young guys got last year will show up this year. It was painful to watch last year though that’s for sure.
LAS VEGAS — The Las Vegas Bowl is moving to a new, bigger stadium next year, and will feature teams from the SEC or Big Ten facing a Pac-12 school.
Bowl executive John Saccenti said Tuesday the game is shedding its Mountain West Conference affiliation under a six-year deal beginning in 2020.
The game will move to a post-Christmas date and be played at the $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat stadium being built just off the Las Vegas Strip for the NFL’s Raiders and UNLV football.
Plans call for a Pac-12 selection to face an SEC team in 2020, 2022 and 2024.
A Pac-12 team will play a Big Ten representative in 2021, 2023 and 2025.
Fresno State beat Arizona State last year before 37,000 at Sam Boyd Stadium.
This year’s game is scheduled Dec. 21 at Sam Boyd between Mountain West and Pac-12 teams.
Remember the days of being bummed when OSU only earned a bid to the lowly Vegas Bowl?
Now I just with they could get to that level again. I need more reasons to go to Vegas, even if it’s in December
I saw future Beavers Drew Gilbert and Will Frisch play today in a HS playoff game. Gilbert looks to be a left handed version of Dylan Pearce and pitches with a little attitude. About the same size as Chamberlain. There was a scout for the Twins at the game and he was hitting 95 on his gun. Fastball is pretty straight but he had a nice curve. Got a lot of K’s with high heat. Had some control issues early on, but he was superb in the extra inning. The R hander, Frisch, played OF and sparked the comeback win win a 400 ft double off the wall. He is a big kid. I talked to his dad and he is convinced
PC will be coaching his son FWIW. He was originally going to TCU, but they had second thoughts and Gilbert, who is his best friend, sold him on the Beavs. He said they really felt comfortable with Casey and Bailey and had great official visit. He also said they met a bunch of the incoming recruits and thought they were nice kids in addition to being really good players. In typical Rutschman modestly, he told the incoming pitchers last fall that Troy Claunch is better than him defensively!
Annoying barnes acts like he wanted to give pat a year to think about his decision to retire when really he didn’t ever want an official retirement. Wonder how this impacts recruits. I’d like to see a younger hire like the chikkettes (sp) guy
I’m wondering if Too late Nate is going put his name for the job, I’d rather have him than Bailey. I can see this going really bad with Barnes in charge of the search. Like losing Bailey and yeskie and that other dude
I hope Barnes realized how important this is. We need to go after the best and show how serious we are about keeping osu a top baseball program by offering an obscene amount of money to the right person
And how reliable is this source? Would be fantastic news.
Reliable.
Sid or Jack?
Jack’s ghost in a dream is the source.
Seems reliable….
Very good…
@angry are you going to give me any credit? Been saying this for awhile with multiple sources since back during football season. Thanks for reconfirming.
i was hoping that his next role with the university would be as athletic director.
Riley has dibs on that position.
Fuck that
Casey seemed too young to me to retire, I think he has several good years left. He seemed conflicted about coaching his son. I think Joe is a solid starter for next season. To play or not play Joe, should not cause any anguish.
He never wanted the retire thing. He wanted a year away and barnes scheduled a press conference bringing attention to the situation casey didn’t want. He wanted a year away and I’m glad he is sticking to that.

The other cascading factor was Andy Peterson’s lack of offensive productivity. That caused a revolving door at second base, in the search for offense, which began to effect third base as well. Hopefully Andy can settle in next year as a team leader.
Curious who your source is or you just saw me say that multiple times already and you know my info is solid?
What I’m more interested in is why he retired in the first place. His kid, burnt out, Bailey raise, etc. Haven’t been able to get that.
The Bailey raise thing is really dumb. Had nothing to do with that.
Good, that would suck.
He seemed burnt out to me, and I think some of that was Heimlich…anyone would need a break from that circus.
That’s the way he seemed to me as well. The Heimlich “circus” had to be made even more maddening with the involvement (lack of) Barnes and Ray. Add to that a second chance to watch a son play w/o being his coach.
I doubt Casey wants to spoil Adley’s big day, an announcement mid week makes sense. As said before, the only reason I think he’d not come back would be having to work for Barnes/Ray. One down now.

It may have burned out Casey, but it helped immensely to have him for the season also and the administration did not challenge Casey to have Luke on the roster.
Winner, winner chicken dinner. That’s exactly what happened and the factvtge administration didn’t offer much support under the circumstances.
a lot of it had to do with Heimlich, trust me. One reason that Casey is coming back is that Ed Ray is leaving. Casey was really upset with the way Ray handled the Heimlich case.
Only reason he “retired” was barnes. Ask boosters or those close to the program. He wanted it to be a year away.
Just listening to him at that “announcement show” put on by Barnes was enough to convince me that he just wanted time away.
Sid Vicious
Eggers says he has “no inside info” yet he expects a news conference by Tuesday announcing Casey’s return. Sure seems like he has inside info to put that out there.
Did he say this before or after AB? Lol
Before
Well before.
Maybe the better question is if Pat Bailey will be returning too. (just kidding, just kidding… mostly)
He is a good assistant, just not a high level head coach. I mean sure there probably are better out there but this formula seems to work for beavs.
I agreee. Eggers said Bailey would be happy coming back in an assistants role.
I saw on Twitter today that Oregon went after Casey and he declined. Nothing official just rumors really. I’m also seeing people say their going after Too Late Nate too. Those poor ducks, giving themselves wet dreams thinking about poaching our coaches
Hopefully they go after Bailey and get him.

George Horton will be the next coach for Beaver baseball, according to sources.
Wouldn’t that be a neat deal?
Only Scott Barnes could pull off such an arrangement
And pay him twice as much as Casey was making.
I not sure the all-you-can-eat buffet options in Corvallis would work for Horton.
i don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out Casey’s returning. I posted last year that he’d after I read his comments about not having any hobbies such as golf, fishing, etc and his statement that he’s a coach and that’s what he does.

That’s my instinct. Ray sucked his entire term, but especially so at the end there.
Today…..
It’s good to be Adley Rutschman.
In recent recruiting developments, im keeping my eye on a nice looking JC CB who we are pursuing right now and would be available next season. Would probably be a package deal with his brother if they come here but his brother wouldnt be available till after December.
Talk kid with good speed. Would seem like an ideal type of player to bolster our defense immediately.
Blue balls!
Blue Adams does seem to be pretty active in recruiting. Might be an appropriate name for guys he recruits. Blue Ballers
And his name is…….
Won’t put it out there quite yet. Both guys are similar in size to Treston Decoud. You know, the tall/athletic corners we never seem to get.
Thanks! I like the sounds of that!
Love it Nice. Keep the tips coming please!
What the Mohel said.
I’ll go ahead and put these names out there, and see how long before they start getting follows from Blitz and Sedge. CBs i’m tracking are brothers, from Oakland.
Nahshon Wright and Rejzohn Wright out of Laney College JC
https://twitter.com/nahwrig?lang=en

Nahshon graduates this Spring and should be available immediately, but Rejzohn graduates in December and would be a 2020 guy.
I’m expecting to hear about an official visit date for 1 or both in the near future.
Every mock draft has adley going #1.
Nice payoff for all the work he’s done here. After the first year, it didn’t seem like he was going to be the next great catcher. The hit tool just wasn’t there. The fact that he was able to better his production a year ago with a much less talented lineup shows he’s less likely to bust.
Lots of comparisons to Posey. Will be curious to see where he starts in pro ball. Short season A ball or A ball. It doesn’t seem crazy that he could start at AA too.
Anybody have a link to the MLB draft?
Looks like its only in the MLB network?
Pat Casey is on TV with the MLB Network coverage. It is streamed here:
https://www.mlb.com/video/2019-mlb-draft-day-1-c2525313683
Pat Casey is on set now on the MLB network talking college pitching
thanks!
Dylan Pearce tweeting like he is leaving the program saying his dreams came true and thanking everyone….is he leaving now?
he’s a senior I believe, he was a CC transfer
Wow time flies! Thought he was a junior.
Adley #1 overall.
First Beav ever #1?
Nm forgot Terry Baker. Are those the only 2?
The Beaver Athletics Twitter account must read AB.
https://twitter.com/BeaverAthletics/status/1135685772588175360?s=19
I’m blocked from reading their page. What does it say?
He’s 3rd #1 pick. Besides Baker, Danny Mwanga was also picked #1 in soccer in 2010
Sara Jean Underwood was sort of a #1 pick as well.
and Jodi Ann Paterson
The MLB draft production value is so poor compared to the NBA and NFL
I like it. I can’t stand overproduced shows.
It doesn’t have to look like a High School production though
Looks fine to me.
Beaver baseball telecasts — now that’s a different story.
I was hoping it would be telecast on P-12 Network, I miss the jizz smear on the lens.
Now, I’m seeing on Twitter that Casey in gonna take the Nebraska job. Someone also claims to have seen a red N pin on his sport coat. But no photo evidence.I’d like an official statement from osu & Casey by week’s end at the latest on what the deal is. I want to believe he’s coming back but man all these rumors are getting to me
The internet isn’t for you then
We’ll see how high some of the recruits get drafted. That should tell you their level of commitment. It’s a strong recruiting class for pitchers. Really good ones coming to replace the ones leaving.
These are the three guys to watch,

I am going to see Gilbert pitch tomorrow night.
One of the guys visiting this weekend (June 7th) is an former Arkansas LB, Kyrie Fisher. He will be on an unofficial visit, because he already had used up his 5 allotted official visits back when he was a class of 2017 recruit. He was previously committed to Minnesota and flipped late to Arkansas. He also had offers from the likes of Michigan State, Colorado, Houston, Texas, SMU and several others.
I’ve been told this one is pretty much a done deal and he will be a Beav. It just required the formality of a scholarship opening up(likely after spring term ends) and then his offer and transfer could become official.
Since he has gone the JUCO route, he would be available immediately for playing in 2019.
https://twitter.com/BeavRecruiting/status/1130155275715981313?s=19
The other known visitor this weekend is a 2020 JUCO CB, Justin Harrington out of Bakersfield College. He wouldn’t be eligible to play immediately.
https://twitter.com/Showwdell_3/status/1135700643996491776?s=19
Still waiting to hear if the CB from earlier I mentioned, Wright from Trinity College, will be coming this weekend too.
Anyway, those are 2 immediately available defensive players who could potentially be on the OSU roster next season and another JC guy who could possibly be part of the 2020 class. All worth keeping an eye on.
Arkansas is sort of the Oregon St. of the SEC, I hope this kid is an upgrade.
He was considered a top 50 LB nationally when he was coming put of HS
http://www.hudl.com/v/2ABC7u
Thanks as always Nice. Love getting the scoop here for free. Any idea on how many years of eligibility these guys would have? Any sense in their leanings towards OSU?
Beau Phillip is taken in the 2nd round at #60, by Atlanta
That’s a pretty high pick for Phillip. Transferring to OSU really helped his draft stock apparently. I was thinking he would go around round 4
He must have indicated he would sign for an under slot amount.
Pretty much that’s why guys go higher than expected. Teams are trying to maximize the return on their bonus pool dollars.
Go Beavs
https://youtu.be/Uw1Qkw_zqn4 Adley’s presser

Gambrell in the third round. Pretty high given his production but I’m guessing the Royals think they can coach him up.
Ceiling is a middle rotation.
Wow, that’s pretty good for Grant. I had my fingers crossed hoping he might come back for next year. Ain’t happening no way.
MLB needs to keep Milb teams stocked. Those teams provide good, affordable summer entertainment for many towns and small cities throughout the US.

That was a brutal read. I get it, we were bad but come on. Praying for 5 wins so we can tell him to go F himself.
I agree. There were games where the D could hang with the offense of the other team for a quarter or two and then just got rolled in the second half. There were also games when the D got rolled the entire game because teams ran over the smaller front line and/or they couldn’t get off the field on 3rd down.

Sounds like the sauces were wrong… Casey is not coming back.
If he ends up coaching elsewhere I think you got to fire Barnes at that point, though he probably should be given the ax anyway.
Yeah if he’s not actually retiring and he just doesn’t want to work for Barnes any more there needs to be some kind of revolt.
Time to edit thos post angry.
Casey not returning to coach.staying in AD role though
https://twitter.com/BeaverAthletics/status/1136059280816189441?s=19
How long till Casey is announced head coach elsewhere?
A few days?
Well fuck.
Fucking shit. Well it was fun while it lasted.
Son of a gun. I’ll eat my words then and cut off all
Communication with my lying sources.
Well crap, that’s not what I wanted to hear.
Annoying barnes acts like he wanted to give pat a year to think about his decision to retire when really he didn’t ever want an official retirement. Wonder how this impacts recruits. I’d like to see a younger hire like the chikkettes (sp) guy
Gotta go for Andrew checketts
But I’m sure Barnes will fuck it all up
Might be time to call this sight “nicebeaver”, angry has zero credibility now.
I’d go after Mitch Canham.
Been coaching 4 years and already reached AA, fast riser. Likely on MLB coaching track though so probably not interested
I guess I knew what Casey was going to do. My source was better
Here’s who to call first,
1. Mitch Canham
2. Scott Brosius
3. Tcu coach
I’m wondering if Too late Nate is going put his name for the job, I’d rather have him than Bailey. I can see this going really bad with Barnes in charge of the search. Like losing Bailey and yeskie and that other dude
I hope Barnes realized how important this is. We need to go after the best and show how serious we are about keeping osu a top baseball program by offering an obscene amount of money to the right person
Zero confidence here that Barnes realizes or cares. OSU is an ATM machine to Barnes, nothing more. Based not on his personality, but his performance.
Casey must have liked TV yesterday.
New thread up about Barnes.
