  1. Big start for Child tonight. If he can return to last year’s form, he might be able to get back into the weekend rotation if Wetzler continues to struggle.

  2. Child is nowhere near the guy he was last season. He’s lost his confidence and his mechanics are all messed up. Beavers are having all kinds of problems finding a 3rd starter.

  3. Andy Peterson with a safety squeeze and the 2nd baseman for USD doesn’t cover first base and Peterson is safe. San Diego plays some really bad defense

      • I’m a big fan of patience at the plate but if you’re getting fastballs right down the middle, no need to wait around for another pitch.

  4. Childs a 4 pitch BB after serving up a HR ball to the first batter. Childs missing high too often here, time for a change.

  5. I wonder if Peterson or Hendrix even knew there was 2 outs. Bunting with 2 outs makes zero sense and Hendrix on the bunt attempt didn’t break until well after the throw to first. Really odd. 4-3 Beavers after 3 1/2 innings

  6. Peterson with another mistake in the field. Doesn’t throw to first and costs the Beavers an out. He’s had an awful game

  7. Hayes a two out single to left, showed some patience there. Not so well hit that I am ready to say his slump is over but maybe good ju ju

  8. Starr has came in and done a good job in his 1 2/3 innings. Allowed an RBI single to Bryant but that was a tough spot, otherwise has been solid so far. 4-4 tie after 5 innings

  9. Peterson, with the runner coming from first makes a nice 6-3 DP to close out the 5th inning. Good to see him keep workin’ even with the poor start he’s had.
    Sixth inning belongs to the Beavs, right?

  10. Peterson’s rough night continues. Strikes out looking with 2 runners on and 2 outs. 4-4 tie going to the bottom of the 6th

      • Beavers sorely miss Tyler Smith. Peterson is not the same type of defender at SS and Smith is a better offensive player than Casper. Really has hurt OSU offensively and defensively.

  11. USD pops up a bunt and hits into a DP. 5-4 lead after 6 innings. USD had a runner on third and no outs after the RBI triple and can’t get him in

    • RHP comes in to face JRod. With two outs I’m not sure there is anyone I’d rather have at the plate, that said, too bad Beavs can’t settle for a SacFly, got to see a hit.

  12. two out, runners at the corners for SD.
    Due up for Beavs: Casper-Barnes-Matthews……..wonder if all of the three will actually come to the plate.

    • Homer scorekeeper gave Bryant a hit and an RBI single but that definitely was an error. Count about 8 mistakes on defense tonight which is horrendous. Worst defensive performance of the season by a mile.

        • This team just hasn’t been there mentally. Beavers look like crap offensively and have for 3 straight games, now the defense tonight joined them. Team better show up to the ballpark ready to compete tomorrow.

    • I mean, sure, but college starters typically throw every Friday and get in a pattern, likely he told Casey and Yeskie he wasn’t ready to go tonight and so they went with Child instead. Beavers have Boyd and Moore and that’s it for the starters. No consistency from Child or Wetzler.

      • Disappointing about Child. By the end of the year last year he was the second best starter and now he can’t cut it as the 4th starter.

        • yeah. Right now my thinking is Taylor Starr should get a Sunday start to see what he can do. I understand Wetzler was hurt but Child has been a major disappointment. He was nails last year. Both of them have been nothing short of craptacular so far.

  13. Mike Parker has to go. He must be in some kind of personal funk, and cant generate any enthusiasm in broadcasting. Pitiful. Beavers get behind and it sounds like he expects them to lose. An announcer should be positive, ehthusiastic and energetic….

        • Maybe he seemed cranky because, as he said early in the broadcast, the wind had blown his cheat sheet and he received a paper cut on his “countenance”.

          I usually appreciate his use of vocabulary but that one seemed strained.

    • Cut the dude some slack, he just got done living with calling the 2012-13 version of Beaver Basketball; that would anybody in a bad mood.

      Come to think of it, his appearance has coincided with the baseball team ‘slumping.’

  14. http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/john_canzano/index.ssf/2013/03/canzano_in_hoosiers_gym_parall.html#incart_river

    Funny I don’t remember Norman Dales’ players smoking weed and getting charged with assaulting their girlfriends. Must have been in the directors cut. Other than that, the analogy is spot on. The Nike money that poured into Hickory High in those days made that magical run possible.
    Hope they run the old picket fence play at end of the game!

    • Like our beloved Quacks, I thought one reason for Milan’s success back in ’54 was there ability to bring in Senior transfers from other high schools around the country for reasons that were never really explained? I can’t wait to see who Altman and Uncle Phil have lined up to save next season!

      Seriously, has Canzano gone off the rails? First, he does an editorial about Helfich, praising him for doing nothing about Lyerla and now he’s comparing the Ducks to Hoosiers???? He must be trying to get back into Phil’s good graces because his writing hasn’t made much sense lately.

  15. Single by Barnes and he advances to 2nd on the throw, Hendrix to third. Conforto up. Wouldn’t surprise me if they walk him

  16. Stream lousy tonight. Can’t see any of the scores but it sounds like there is no real reason for the Beavs to take a lot of credit here.

  17. Moore coming in relief now, the Beavers will be having Wetzler throw in the series finale tomorrow for some reason. Bizarre decision.

    • Casey said before the series began that he wanted to rest Moore if possible, I doubt Moore would have started tomorrow unless the Beavs lost tonight. With the Beavs positioned to win this one Casey brings in Moore to see a little work but at the same time get some rest in that he’ll not pitch 5-7 innings.

      Wetzler likely to be on a short leash tomorrow.

        • Moore winds up throwing 34 pitches (24 of them strikes).

          So tomorrow Wetzler likely to be followed by Schultz, then an assortment of situation guys. Sure would be nice to see Wetzler avoid his habitual slow start. Would be nice also to see the Beavs clean up their act tomorrow both at the plate and in the field.

          • Would be very surprised if Schultz came in after Wetzler cause Schultz is the closer. I think Brandon Jackson and Tyler Painton will be the guys to relieve Wetzler followed by Engelbrekt. I hope Wetzler can just go 6 innings and give the Beavers a quality start. If he struggles again, may have to look at making some changes.

  18. It was good to be able to catch another game here in San Diego. They looked a lot better tonight than yesterday. This time USD kicked the ball all over the yard, but some of those balls were hit pretty hard. I agree that Hayes look good at bat tonight.

    • wow. He couldn’t handle the pressure and unrealistic expectations at Iowa. How is he going to handle that in Westwood?

  19. OT: Do Oregon State fans in general think the new beaver logo is enough for hats and certain clothing options moving forward or will ‘OSU’ have to start being used more to replace OS which will no longer have any official standing with athletics come this fall. People want official athletic marks so the obvious solution to fill more needs is to start printing more goods with the OSU in addition to just the new beaver. The OSU needs just a small something and it would be a pretty good option for those who feel lettering is appealing on certain items.

  20. Conforto flies out and Davis strikes out. Runners on second and third. Unless the Beavers get a clutch hit here, Beavers will blow a golden opportunity to get an early lead

  21. Pat Casey going with a double switch, Casper pinch hitting for Esposito and he’ll go to third, Jake Rodriguez behind the plate, likely Keyes to 2B.

    • Yeah, they don’t really have guys off the bench who can step up. A lot of young guys who aren’t ready to step in and get it done, team just can’t afford injuries.

  22. Every single season the Beavers go through stretches where they look really bad and suddenly can’t pitch or field. That stretch is happening now.

  23. And coming in USD was just atrocious in the field as yesterday showed. Looks like they’re a decent club when they field the ball

  24. Defense is this teams achilles heel. If they can catch and throw the ball a tad bit better consistently they will be a tough out in the ncaa’s. The bench is not especially strong with the glove. Big, big series against ucla this weekend. Hopefully, we get the week started right with a win against UP.
