Abel really struggles with command here in the 2nd. After the 1st, I was pretty hopeful he’d figured it out. When he gets that down, he should be pretty good.
Too late Nate gives Abel enough time to blow this game. Fielding is suspect and the young pitchers are too easily rattled and can’t find the plate. Walks become runs and this team isn’t going to be close to last year’s as the season goes.
Wow. This is/was the biggest cry baby post ever. The team is #1 in the country and you’re posting this garbage. Not trying to be a online angry person but that was funny.
Not #1 for long playing like this. Perhaps Casey’s excellence has skewed my expectations for them to not give the worst team in the conference a chance to win by gifting walks, hbp, errors, hitting nto double plays, not getting a run in with bases loaded no outs.
Casey will chew these guys up for this effort. I won’t cry over the beavs, but I have to think Casey will not be speaking about niceties to the guys when this one is over.
Yeskie is the one who said there was a clown show going on in the Sunday game. I presume it was the idea of walks and bad 0-2 pitches by Gambrell and Abel.
Reactionary maybe, but I’ll stand by it until the young guys start getting guys out on a regular basis without walking 3 guys per inning.
It may have been reactionary but tell me what is wrong about it. No way this pitching staff goes 56-6.
I agree, and not just to a point. The combo of inability to put opposing hitters away and, too often not getting timely hits themselves makes losing less than twice the amount of last year a tall order for this group.
Pitching has very little of the moxie and grit that was a part of last year. Casey has to start going small ball to manufacture runs, waiting for the big hit isn’t working.
Bases loaded no outs without scoring a runs is inexcusable for this team. I think they were sleep-walking and didn’t take Utah very seriously.
Not having a regular Friday/Heimlich start didn’t help either.
Angry, be happy the Mets rolled the Cards today and at least Utah got smoked by Penn St. in the NIT! But what a shitty loss. Casey better find some pitching soon, I don’t think we are going to see 27-3 this year. Two losses now, 7 games in.
I’d rather have the hiccups now than towards tournament time. The fabulous win-loss record last season didn’t help all that much at the end. I think/hope it will get sorted out.
Wouldn’t of helped Luke pitching against LSU Umps…..He wouldn’t of had a single strike because LSU would never have gotten out of the first inning if he were pitching.
HC Jon Smith-Riley breaks down the baseball loss at Utah.
“What up with the pitching?”
“What up with hitting into DP’s?”
“What up the situational hitting?”
OT: beavrecruiting shared a tweet with OSU marketing taking a shot at UofO marketing with their glider rendition being pummeled along with Autzen being blown up.
I’m still amazed at their butthurt. I can’t decide if my favorites are the ones who complain about “copying” an edit that was a copy of someone’s proprietary work in the first place… or the Dean Snyder dude who wants to take everything so personally while trying to insult you.
I blocked most of them, especially the ones who quote it, so they end up quoting a blank tweet. Makes them even more butthurt.
Except that Dean guy. I couldn’t block him because I wanted to keep his stupid rant visible to everybody.
“You fail at life and social media”
“Hey, that guy was just mean to me…..he’s such a meanie!”
He then went on to a players page(Chris Steele, from the original duck tweet) to complain about how mean i was to him. Really, the older guy is complaining to the highschool kid….
The only thing I regret is not waiting till April Fools to put it out there
Eubanks making a huge mistake here. He has almost no chance of getting drafted, let alone being any type of impact player or even a bench/practice player.
“Follow your dreams just don’t be dumb about it” – John Adams
I don’t know, he basically is the player now that he will be next year. If the draft class next year gets bolstered by possible changes to draft eligibility(high school kids being allowed to go directly to the draft rather than college for 1 year) this might be his best chance to make a team. He wouldn’t be hiring an agent if he didn’t have some knowledge about his chances. Best of luck to him. Even if it leads to career in Europe, I could think of worse ways to make a living.
But, but………“In December 2016, the city accepted an Oregon Department of Transportation grant of about $640,000 that finished off the funding required. “
So, ten percent from ODOT, not the taxpayers, they’ve got buckets of dough to help taxpayers fund improvements like this…………..they’ve got that money tree, right?
Then again, I didn’t understand why he didn’t attribute the renaming to magnetic declination. It was clear that was what was happening despite his original, fumbling reporting.
Is “low ego, high output” the new athletic buzz phrase? At the presser announcing our new hockey coach at Minnesota, the AD said the culture was, you guessed it, low ego, high output. Where did HC Jon S pick it up?
OT…. but. RE: The story today in the O about a hazing incident at Sprague High in Salem. One of the (alleged) key perpetrators was a highly recruited tight end. He had committed to the Ducks. This thing has been below the radar for over a year, but just broke publically today.
Fearing a Heimlich like situation the Ducks and a few other schools pulled their offers, well before NLI day leaving him high and dry until the legal situation is sorted out. This thing may end up a sex crime also.
Interesting how this was handled by those schools. JB
When all schools pull offers, then you know it’s serious. A lot of schools will take chances on guys because they “know” the kid and he’s a “good” person.
When said recruit tweets that all good people that are turning their heads each day can go fuck themselves because the incident was investigated… twice, he’s not exactly on his way.
I just turned on the video feed and the first thing I saw was Heimlich hitting some Ute schmuck in the ankle! On a positive note, Beav softball ended a 16 game losing streak to the Quacks 4-3 today. Beat some pitcher who was undefeated.
Update 5-2 Utes, if I understood these idiot announcers, Heimlich just gave up a two run bases loaded single to a freshmen after hitting a batter and walking a batter.
Hard to tell on the live stream, but it looks like Luke is getting squeezed, and Utah is getting a pretty large strike zone. Does anyone else have a better view than my phone screen?
OT- Notre Dame beats UConn in WBB. Last year Geno was smiling after getting beat by MSU, like it was a fluke. He looked pissed after this game. The Beavs played ND tough, I hope they can get back soon.
That’s just a quick search. McGraw has contrived this bullshit hatred of UConn and its players and coach. I’m guessing she does it to motivate her team. But she carries it too far always. She decided from the beginning to try to make it personal, and that was in stark contrast to the WTF? Auriemma was giving the media when he heard about all this contrived angst.
I would chalk it up to jealousy manifested as a lack of sportsmanship, the latter being obvious if you look at the words used over the years by McGraw in relation to UConn. I get it. UConn gets the best players and wins with them. That doesn’t mean those players are to be hated by you, coach.
It’s sad, because McGraw is one helluva a coach beyond her irrational mind games. She can ditch the drama and be better, but I think she believes the drama is foundational for her.
And Geno didn’t look pissed. He looked sad. I didn’t watch the game, but a friend says it was Geno’s decision to bench their bigs a couple times in the second half that allowed ND to even be competitive, let alone winning. Did anyone watch it?
Yes, I watched the game. At the end of the game, I thought he looked more pissed than sad, but that’s my perception. There was some foul trouble going on and issues with them handling the ND zone.
Last year, he had a big smile on his face at the end of the Miss.St game, sort of like this shit happens now and then, what can you do? McGraw seems pretty uptight, but I’m not sure about Geno either, did you know he had some sort of falling out with Pat Summit also?
Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply Geno was at fault, but you’re a better researcher than I. I was just reading an interesting NY Times article on college WBB and the fall out was described as a “mystery” Honestly, I never paid much attention to WBB until Rueck came along. The parallels between UCLA on the men’s side in the 60’s/70’s and UConn now are interesting. Supposedly, parity is coming.
I just remember that 2014 wbb championship. McGraw was so out of line with her approach to it. I can only guess she thought it was motivating her team.
I didn’t watch the game because I had no compelling reason to do so. But I remember catching Geno in a presser before the game, and the press was asking him all these dumb “hate Notre Dame” questions. And he was getting on them for asking these dumb “wtf?” questions before one of them told him it was McGraw who was saying all this. He just stopped and sort of looked stunned (in a confused way) for a second before saying he wasn’t aware of anything between them before now, not that they were going to be spending time together in the near future.
She was saying all sorts of weird stuff like UConn players didn’t deserve their success because they didn’t work as hard as her team and blah blah blah.
It’s been really strange listening to coaches speak about UConn in the past decade. I started paying attention when Summitt decided to make her AD run those spurious claims up the flagpole. She grumbled about that stuff while she was winning championships. There was talk around college sports that she was losing it at that time, and her assistants were really running the show. I doubt it was that obvious since players never really supported that angle. But she seemed less lucid toward the end than her public persona was projected to be.
Any 62 y/o woman that can do a catchers squat for most of a game in high heels has to get some cred. She must have buns of steel and kevlar patella tendons. Just glad U Conn won’t win. Hate the SEC, so hope for a ND win by default.
I know at one time McGraw had a winning record against Geno when both teams were in the same league, but UConn would thump them in the tournaments. I think ND has one natty compared to Geno and his double digits. And I agree, the media seems to want to keep the animosity/rivalry going and Geno could care less.
I keep saying the 7th inning is often good to the Beavs. Lundeberg is catching on, this from his twitter:
Still trying to wrap my brain around Adley Rutschman seventh-inning stats (8 for 11 with six extra-base hits and 13 RBIs in March). Why do teams keep pitching to him?
Looked like if Malone had run with a little sense of urgency, that would have been an easy run scored. Instead he gets the Utes out of a bad spot as we leave another base runner in scoring position stranded.
Didn’t see much of Malone’s running but the fly was pretty shallow and, as the commentators said, the LF had plenty of time to set up for the throw as the fly was not only shallow but high in the air.
Parker really doesn’t sound like he is having fun. Since getting Jim Wilson full time is unlikely, how about this: Ben Wetzler play by play with Parker doing color (you know, references to old movies, his early years as a fan, and baseball stats)?
C’mon, Scotty, this weekend was just another example of luck ‘o da Beavs. Even w/o Nick the tendency to GDP and the widespread pitching maladies will pass, a win total in the 40’s is still likely.
Not calling that success, just hoping you can stay off the ledge! We’d miss you!
Could the Pitchers be rattled from Umps not calling a fair game? 3rd base call, check swings not called strikes, Casey getting thrown out for his hat grazing the umpire, etc?
Abel gets the start today
Game on, stream: http://pac-12.com/live/university-utah
Michael Gretler RBI single 1-0 b2
Anything less than a sweep is a disappointing weekend
Abel really struggles with command here in the 2nd. After the 1st, I was pretty hopeful he’d figured it out. When he gets that down, he should be pretty good.
2-1 bad guys
Make that 4-1
Thursday evening clown show in process.
Too late Nate gives Abel enough time to blow this game. Fielding is suspect and the young pitchers are too easily rattled and can’t find the plate. Walks become runs and this team isn’t going to be close to last year’s as the season goes.
Wow. This is/was the biggest cry baby post ever. The team is #1 in the country and you’re posting this garbage. Not trying to be a online angry person but that was funny.
Not #1 for long playing like this. Perhaps Casey’s excellence has skewed my expectations for them to not give the worst team in the conference a chance to win by gifting walks, hbp, errors, hitting nto double plays, not getting a run in with bases loaded no outs.
Casey will chew these guys up for this effort. I won’t cry over the beavs, but I have to think Casey will not be speaking about niceties to the guys when this one is over.
Haven’t read something that reactionary since the Sandinistas overthrew the Nicaraguan government
Yeskie is the one who said there was a clown show going on in the Sunday game. I presume it was the idea of walks and bad 0-2 pitches by Gambrell and Abel.
Reactionary maybe, but I’ll stand by it until the young guys start getting guys out on a regular basis without walking 3 guys per inning.
It may have been reactionary but tell me what is wrong about it. No way this pitching staff goes 56-6.
i agree to a point. Pitching is much worse that the past few years. Luke and ………….?
I agree, and not just to a point. The combo of inability to put opposing hitters away and, too often not getting timely hits themselves makes losing less than twice the amount of last year a tall order for this group.
You got the United Fruit Company newsletters in the 70s?
Larnach answers with a grand slam in top 5th. Good guys back in charge, 5-4.
Larnach Grand Jack makes it 5-4 Beavs. Abel pulled for Gambrell top of the 6th
7th inning not good to the Beavs, on to the b7 down 7-6
This would be a HORRIBLE loss. Doesn’t Utah have something like 2 wins all year?
4-19, I stand corrected
Odds of not hitting into another DP?
Beavs lose 8-7 to the worst F’in team in the conference
Pitching weakness exposed by the worst team in the PAC.
We knew pitching was likely to be weaker than last season, hoped the offense would be able to offset that. May still be the case.
Hey, only 7 LOB, nice huh? Oh yeah, hit into 4 DP’s
Bill’s right, anything less than a sweep is disappointing, as is hearing that nike u is up 10-1 over Stanford…….the world is upside down!
Time to put individual stats back on the team website?
If not for Danny M, Luke would be in the minors this year. We would have no reliable starter.
F Utah.
Curious – why so much disdain for Utah? I’m just pissed they lost to such a bad team.
Since angry got booted off his compound with his seven wives he has been like this.
Pitching has very little of the moxie and grit that was a part of last year. Casey has to start going small ball to manufacture runs, waiting for the big hit isn’t working.
Bases loaded no outs without scoring a runs is inexcusable for this team. I think they were sleep-walking and didn’t take Utah very seriously.

I’d rather have the hiccups now than towards tournament time. The fabulous win-loss record last season didn’t help all that much at the end. I think/hope it will get sorted out.
It would have if Luke and Donahue were in Omaha.
Wouldn’t of helped Luke pitching against LSU Umps…..He wouldn’t of had a single strike because LSU would never have gotten out of the first inning if he were pitching.

Ranking now is the least of my concerns for this team.

OSU marketing had nothing to with that. I made it last night to f with duck fans.
LOL That makes it even better. I fell for the bait just as much as the Smucks did. Well played, well played.
Is there a single Duck not projecting in their replies?
Talk about a butt-hurt crew. Taking the Willie out of them must have left them pretty sore.
I’m still amazed at their butthurt. I can’t decide if my favorites are the ones who complain about “copying” an edit that was a copy of someone’s proprietary work in the first place… or the Dean Snyder dude who wants to take everything so personally while trying to insult you.

I wasn’t expecting an easy series in Utah. I was sitting in Goss last year and we were lucky to win the series let alone sweep.
Hopefully by the end of the season Abel and Gambrell will have it figured out. Still haven’t heard anything about Verburg’s return.
Difference last night was that the Beavs hit into 4 DPs and 6 of the 8 Utah hits were for extra bases. Plus the Utes had a bunch of 2 out RBI.
First b2b conference losses since May 2016.

I don’t understand the question. The article says it completes the funding.
Then again, I didn’t understand why he didn’t attribute the renaming to magnetic declination. It was clear that was what was happening despite his original, fumbling reporting.
Eubanks with an odd decision. Playing in europe is likely since he won’t be drafted. Or g league purgatory.
Wonder what factors that went into this decision.
Headcase. I’m glad he’s gone.
Unfortunately, WT now has that built in excuse for next season when they finish around .500 again.
Opens a spot for another Ronnie Stacy!
How is he a headcase?
He thinks he did a good job and is done doing that good job in Puerto Rico?
He can lead the G League in turnovers instead of the P-12 next year.
Wasted potential.
Is “low ego, high output” the new athletic buzz phrase? At the presser announcing our new hockey coach at Minnesota, the AD said the culture was, you guessed it, low ego, high output. Where did HC Jon S pick it up?
It’s a Petersen thing. He uses it in speaking about organizational structure. I’ve heard Harsin use it as well.
Makes sense. He was AD at Boise and hired Harsin. #rowthebeaver.
I prefer no morals, high ego and high output until one gets caught.
High ego, no output is the way to go.
Yes, but we would never be caught in that situation. Nobody would be good enough to catch us.

1-1 bottom of the 2nd
Down 2-1 after 3.
This is looking like another loss.
Heimlich is totally off. WTF?
I just turned on the video feed and the first thing I saw was Heimlich hitting some Ute schmuck in the ankle! On a positive note, Beav softball ended a 16 game losing streak to the Quacks 4-3 today. Beat some pitcher who was undefeated.
Update 5-2 Utes, if I understood these idiot announcers, Heimlich just gave up a two run bases loaded single to a freshmen after hitting a batter and walking a batter.
Too late Nate…………for Luke?
Hard to tell on the live stream, but it looks like Luke is getting squeezed, and Utah is getting a pretty large strike zone. Does anyone else have a better view than my phone screen?
Nope. He is missing, except for the batters he hit.
Grenier error cost us a DP and 3 runs . Down 5-3 after 4. Has Riley infected the baseball team?
Another bases loaded double-play, the baseball gods are starting to catch up with The Beavs. We have been absurdly spoiled.
Another hit into a DP with the bases loaded. Rinse and repeat. Down 5-2.
Wow. The team looks like shit.
Need Madrigal back soon for some spark.
Wow, Utah pitchers have imploded after their started was pulled. 7-5 good guys still in top of the 7th. Moore with a three run double.
Malone Clutch bases loaded double drives in all 7-5 good guys t7
Rodent magic in the air tonight. 8-5 Beavs after some pitching woes by the Utes.
Another fucking error costs us a inning ending DP.
Andy Armstrong solo dinger 9-5 Beavs. Armstrong has played great the past 3 weeks, should slide over to DH once Madrigal returns
Anyone else having a lot of issues with the stream?
Cranberry juice can help…
Thanks, I’ll have to give that a try :P

OT- Notre Dame beats UConn in WBB. Last year Geno was smiling after getting beat by MSU, like it was a fluke. He looked pissed after this game. The Beavs played ND tough, I hope they can get back soon.
McGraw played a bunch of “insult the women who play hoops at UCONN” bullshit whines a couple years ago for that NCG where she got emnarrassed.
She’s been continuing the drama, and Geno can’t like losing to it.
I see some of you disagree.

More like Pat Summitt had a falling out with him when whatshername chose UConn instead of Tenn in 2005.
http://www.espn.com/ncw/news/story?id=3368175
Pat did not like losing that recruiting battle, so she tried to attack UConn for things that her school was doing in spades.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply Geno was at fault, but you’re a better researcher than I. I was just reading an interesting NY Times article on college WBB and the fall out was described as a “mystery” Honestly, I never paid much attention to WBB until Rueck came along.

I think ND has one natty compared to Geno and his double digits. And I agree, the media seems to want to keep the animosity/rivalry going and Geno could care less.
She ate Geno’s curds and whey. Hence the animosity.
Will OSU WBB finish in top 10, or just outside of it?
Why would they have a final ranking?
The tourney itself shouldn’t provide any ranking. Its role is to crown a champion.
Another ranking makes it about the people who create the rankings, not about anything having to do with the sport or teams within it.
You are so annoying…
You don’t have to read. If I make you think, ignore me.
But… you don’t.
Now you’re annoying.

Kwaaaan………has a chance for a SAC fly turned into a 7-2 inning ending DP.
Mid 2nd inning, 1-0 good guys.
But not for long, Fehmel gives up a HR to start the b2, now it is 1-1
Looked like if Malone had run with a little sense of urgency, that would have been an easy run scored. Instead he gets the Utes out of a bad spot as we leave another base runner in scoring position stranded.
Bryceeee is looking dicey.
Didn’t see much of Malone’s running but the fly was pretty shallow and, as the commentators said, the LF had plenty of time to set up for the throw as the fly was not only shallow but high in the air.
Yup. Should not have been sent.
Fehmel already given up 4 hits on the day with 2 down in the 2nd
Femmel throwing BP. Take him out already.
BP Bryce on the mound today. Double, HR, and now a single in the 3rd. 3-2 bad guys
Parker really doesn’t sound like he is having fun. Since getting Jim Wilson full time is unlikely, how about this: Ben Wetzler play by play with Parker doing color (you know, references to old movies, his early years as a fan, and baseball stats)?
Ben would be lucky to get a word in
True, and many of Ben’s words would have to be bleeeped.
Man, watching Beav pitching has been like having teeth pulled this series. Is there someone hungry in the bullpen who deserves a chance to step up?
Cade Warren?? Is he even traveling?
Top of the order coming up t5 with Beavs down 5-2.
Utes pitcher at 80, several with men on
Yeskie and Casey blew this inning. Femmel should have never come out to pitch.
Grenier hits into another DP.
Fresh arm for Utah to start the t6
So if Grenier does not get picked off earlier, we would be tied up.
Wtf is up with our pitching? Over rated? How was Utah only won 6 games this year?
The Utah HC had to set out 14 games, their record with vs w/o him is night and day.
Not excusing the poor pitching by the entire Beavs staff lately.
It will be 6 wins if they win this one which is starting to look more and more likely.
Well, some serious issues with the pitching. One starter. That doesn’t get you a sniff of Omaha.
Tweedt, 7.71 ERA, really? WTF?
Tweedt pitches to contact, Utes leave 3 to end the 6th up 7-4
Top of the order coming for Beavs t7, will the seventh be good to the good guys again??
Beavs need to start Jake M. as either their Sat or Sunday guy…..
The Jake M who just gave up the homer?
Jake from State Farm.
Was he wearing khakis?
At 2 in the morning?
Well, it’s a guy so…
And here I was almost ready to back off my “lucky to get to 30 wins” prediction
You really believe they will go 8-23 to finish the season??
You really think they can’t after this debacle?? They could be darn close!
C’mon, Scotty, this weekend was just another example of luck ‘o da Beavs. Even w/o Nick the tendency to GDP and the widespread pitching maladies will pass, a win total in the 40’s is still likely.
Not calling that success, just hoping you can stay off the ledge! We’d miss you!
I’m not on the ledge, and I’d be surprised if they didn’t reach at least 35. But yikes!
Gross. We lost 2 of 3 to the worst school in the Pac.
I didn’t watch much of the series, but how many warts did Casey have?
18 hits allowed, hasn’t happened since April of 2011. EIGHT YEARS !!
this per Lundeberg Tweet.
Also, turned zero DP’s and hit into 9 during the series!
Could the Pitchers be rattled from Umps not calling a fair game? 3rd base call, check swings not called strikes, Casey getting thrown out for his hat grazing the umpire, etc?
