  1. Let’s see if the pitching continues to improve from last weekend. I still expect Casey to change up his lineups each game and throw lots of guys if they have a big lead.

    Softball will be getting a big test this weekend. Faces three ranked teams.

      • He was driving down frat alley in his new S60 when he got pelted with paintballs. So he couldn’t play in the game because of a stained Volvo.

        (*rimshot*)

        • Funny story, the whole reason I use the term vulva and did so in that fateful joke, was because I had a kid on my high school soccer team who was telling a story about his moms car and referred to it as her vulva on accident. So we made fun of it for the year. When he would get hurt “what’s wrong, did you sprain your vulva.” One of those things that’s always stuck with me. Hence, I made the joke about STG. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it would’ve set Jack off and had the legs it has. Thanks for the gaffe In high school Joel, it lead to a shit ton of angry beav comments.

    • As posted here a couple days ago, Casey says, “he views Engelbrekt as a setup pitcher when Hickey returns to the bullpen, leading to a potentially powerful one-two punch to close games.
      That could come as early as this weekend, as Casey said Hickey could be “game-ready” when the Beavers head to San Diego for a three-game stretch starting Friday.”

      I think Hickey was out due to a back injury, could be mistaken about the nature of the injury but pretty sure there was no mention of discipline.

  2. OT for this thread…

    Anyone know if Nunez is still in the Pac-12 fold? I don’t recall seeing him since he was tripped by Reid.

    • So I just looked at a bracket finally…..what is the reason for OSU being seated….or rather a split seating between OSU and Uconn at the 11 seed? Why so high in the bracket and not down at 16 since they are “on the bubble”? I was looking at the ESPN bracket by the way.

      • We would get in as an at large bid. There are many conferences where the winner of the conference tournament gets an automatic bid. Those are teams that 99 times out of 100, Oregon State should win the game, so we’d be a higher seed.

        For example in the Patriot league, Lehigh is the #1 ranked team, but their RPI is 162 and they have zero wins against RPI top 150 teams. Even if we get in as an at large, they’ll seed us above those guys.

  3. the split seeding is one of the four play in games. Generally a P5 school isn’t going to be a 12-16 seed. Those seeds are usually taken by mostly mid majors and one bid league conference tournament winners.

    Honestly I don’t know if the Beavs get in at this point. I am going to lean towards probably not because I don’t see them winning tomorrow. Should they get Stanford in the tourney opener and win, then lose to the ducks, 1-3 in your last 4 games isn’t showing well. Throw the Tinkle injury on top of that, yikes. I don’t think 17-13 gets them in (NWCC win doesn’t count with the selection committee)

    Lastly, check out what’s going on in the Atlantic Sun conference tournament. Stetson is ineligible for the NCAA tournament for too low of an APR a few years back. They have made it to the conference tournament championship game. Florida Gulf Coast routed regular season champion and tournament host North Florida by 33 in the semifinals. If Stetson wins the tournament championship, regular season champion North Florida will get the auto bid. Kind of a slap in the face to the team that just kicked your ass by 33 but I agree with the decision. Of course FGC could just do themselves a favor and beat Stetson to get the auto bid making that ruling moot. If they aren’t eligible for the NCAA tournament, why are they playing in the conference tournament?

  4. You can’t really even count Stanford as a sure win since they were dominated at home against them. The pressure in on. Win today, you’re still alive, win your 1st Round game and you’re a lock. Lose today and you can almost turn out the lights. I don’t see an 8-10 league record getting them in.

  5. Bubble watch today

    Teams to cheer against
    Vanderbilt
    Notre Dame
    Ohio State
    Seton Hall
    Providence
    LSU
    Syracuse
    Pitt
    Butler
    Texas Tech
    Alabama
    Oregon
    Florida
    Michigan
    VCU
    St Bonaventure
    St Marys
    Gonzaga

    A win coupled with a lot of bubble teams losing might put the Beavs into the last byes, skipping the play in games.

  6. Paging beavergopher. You have a telephone call in the lobby…..

    WTF is going on in Champaign? Less than 4 months after the Illini strip football coach Bill Cubit of the interim title and give him a 2 year contract, they shit can him and his son who is the offensive coordinator. Everyone else will have the opportunity to interview with the new head coach.

    Something stinks here worse than Whiskey’s b hole after camping for a week

    • They got a new AD, and on his first day fired the football coach. The AD stated he wanted a more stable environment for players and coaches. Players are on twitter complaining about it, one stated he hasn’t been on campus a year and is on his 3rd head coach. This is going to blow up in that ADs face real fast.

      • I see that now. But my question still stands. Why fire the head coach AND offensive coordinator who happens to be his son and say everyone else will be granted an interview with the new head coach? Smells fishy to me

        • Article I read said the coach and son were cleared of any wrong doing in the original coaches firing. So I’m not sure, they retained their basketball coach even though they have taken a steady nose dive in the last 4 years. Maybe the AD doesn’t like his face?

          • I suspect there might be something that implicates Cubit and his kid were complicit if not directly involved with the nefarious stuff going on with Beckman. Groce survives because of a really bad string of injuries killed them. Smith would be a home run, so i hope it isn’t true.

  7. Arizona bending Stanford over. 34-17 with 4 min left in the first half. Don’t think the Beavs will be worse than 8th at the conference tournament

    Baseballers rolling, up 5-0 on W & M in the 3rd. Logan Ice with a 3 run shot in the 3rd inning

    • W&M has given up 7 hits and a HBP in 3.1 innings; they used 7 pitchers (who each went at least 1 inning!) in their recent loss to Virginia.
      6-0 good guys.

    • Keep the cameras off him, act like he might be back after the Pac tourney, and don’t give the committee more reasons to keep the team out

  8. King a 2 RBI double and it’s 8-0 Beavs with 1 down in the 5th.

    REVISED link for tonights game vs SD: usdtoreros.com and OSUBeavers.com.

    REVISED AGAIN, SEE BELOW

  9. Thompson starts the 5th with a 4 pitch BB and a WP.
    He’s at 84 pitches with an 8 run lead; how much rope will “too late” give him? I say let him work a little more to see how he responds.

  10. Couple errors, couple hits, another BB and it’s 8-3, Jake leaves at 101 pitches. Lost focus, and being left in did nothing for his confidence.

    • I expect we’ll have fun all year with that Irvin quote; all that matters is how the Beavs do vs them.
      That said, Irvin is off to a very good start so far.

      • Can’t disagree. Irvin is off to a very solid start. But with that said he can only control how he pitches. It was a pretty fucking stupid quote to make in the media before the first pitch of the season was even made. I don’t recall any current or past OSU baseball team members making any outlandish statements like that. Their Saturday and Sunday starters aren’t anything special imo

  11. B5 2-1 good guys.
    Ice comes in after Gretler caught the first five innings.
    SD pitcher has thrown 91 pitches in 5 full; Beavs have left 8 on.

  12. Seems like Ice is coming up every 5th or 6th batter! Good thing, he is already 2 for 2 with a two out RBI single to make it 5-2 going to the b7.

  13. Eckert gets the K after going to 3-2 on first batter in b8. Too Late Nate, trying to change his moniker, goes to the pen. Heimlich comes on….where is Max? Or Hickey, who Casey said would be ready for the weekend?
