At 10-3, Beavs are holding their own, but have dropped one slot to #5 in Baseball America due to a few bad loses. Two biggest issues I’ve seen: they need to tighten up the defense ASAP, and Pat Casey needs to figure out his lineup. With Moore, Fry, Schultz and Wetzler throwing, the odds are good for a 5-0 week.
Go Beavs!
What will draw more people on Sat? The baseball game or basketball game?
Women’s basketball who have assured themselves a spot in the tourney, play tonight as well. Playing for a better seed now.
Women have a chance to win it all, but ya never know.
Odds are they’ll have to go through Cal and/or Stanford to win the conf tourney (kind of duh, right?). But they played both those teams in early January so curious to see how they stack up against them now playing their best ball of the year. They are peaking at the right time. I don’t normally follow womens hoops but I may tune in tonight.
Go BEAVS!
Wetzler gets the start, Schultz and Moore both sick.
Peterson back to batting second.
Jim Wilson saying he can’t watch a game without a centerfield camera. Pretty much how all fans feel. Wish they didn’t change the cameras for the stream. Was much better before
3 straight 2 out hits. Nicely done.
Wetzler is mowing them down.
If Davis continues to struggle like this, Conforto will set every walk record possible.
Looking like himself as a freshman. Awful at-bats. He’s trying to pull everything and swinging at every breaking ball. Played really well in the Cape Cod league but he looks lost right now
Davis has looked pretty bad.
Beavers win 6-0
Wetzler goes to 2-0 with an ERA of .574 A dominant 17K’s in 15 & 2/3.
Beavs win 6-0. Wetzler pitched great and like a man who knows he’s innocent. With him and Moore and some timely hitting this team should host a superregional and be in poisition for an Omaha run like Ben came back for. That and the women making an NCAA run will likely be the big feats for this Oregon State spring.
Davis drops to 5, Clark in 4 hole, Keyes batting 6…interesting move. I would have flip flopped Keyes to 5 and Davis to 6. Get Keyes on and let Davis hit him in.
Another walk for Conforto…
And Clark grounds out….
Keyes did bat in 5 hole. Lineup sent out by Twitter was wrong
Frys curve ball is making batters bail out of the box
Davis 2 run bomb. Fry cruising, love our starters.
the Casey system at work; not performing, down (or out of) the line-up you go . The way to move back up: get some hits. Davis delivers with the homer. Let’s see if Pat moves him up for the second game.
Fry with the complete game no-hit shutout. 10 K’s
5th in school history! Didn’t want to jinx it, that was awesome!
Casper with the grand salami to frustrate angry. 5-0 Beavs in the first of game 2.
The walk in game 1 has given Dylan some confidence. Hit a home run the following at-bat and starting to to drive the ball the other way and not chasing breaking pitches like he had been
Three run bomb from Gabe Clark. 10-2 Beavers
What inning?
Ended up a 7 inning affair, 12-2 Beavs. Virginia splits a DH, Florida state loses to Maryland, Fullerton loses to Baylor, Miss St loses it’s 3rd straight, and ucla loses again. Gamecocks remain unbeaten at 14-0. tOSU up 1-0 in the 7th to Nike U.
Does Moore have the flu?
Yep, but the word was Scott did too so maybe we’ll see Moore today. And tOSU added 4 more in the 9th to beat Nike U 5-0.
One of the few times I would pull for tOSU.
Keyes actually looked good behind the plate
Lineup per Twitter shows Davis pitching and Hunter Jarmon in right
Davis indeed pitching. An adventurous first. Leadoff single, a K, runner caught stealing, a two out walk and a fly ball to end it.
Bloop single over 2b from Clark scores two as the Beavs load the bases with nobody out.
3-0 Beavers after the first
Davis lines out to ss, Howard with sac fly. Jarmon comes to the plate with two on and two out and lines one back to the p. End of 1, Beavs up 3-0
Davis’ fastball at 90-93. Still has trouble finding the zone with his curve. Loads the bases with a HBP, single and BB. After a visit by Nate he gets out of the jam with a K and 6-3 groundout.
NIU starter is gone in the b2 after issuing his 3rd BB (plus 2 HBP)
This one could go 4 hours. Beavs load the bases with two out and Howard pops out. Conforto with an RBI double. 4-0 at the end of 2.
3 walks, 2 hits, and a HBP for Dylan Davis in 2 1/3 innings. Reser now in
Tater Salad
4-0 Beavers in the bottom of the 4th
Reser cruising. 3.2 IP, 0 runs, 1 hit, 2Ks. Mid 6, 4-0.
NIU pitchers walk the bases loaded and Clark and Davis make them pay. It’s 9-0 Beavs. No word on the mercy rule. Two on and nobody out in the 6th.
Conforto HBP with bases juiced drives in a run. Clark follows with a 2 run double and Dylan Davis’ 2 run single makes it 9-0 Beavers in the bottom of the 6th
Beavers win 10-0
Max E still looking for last year’s form. Pitched to the minimum in the 9th but went 3-2 to the leadoff batter before striking him out. Walked the next batter on 4 pitches but ended the inning fielding the comebacker and starting the 1-6-3 DP.
30-2 in a four game series, lead by the pitching staff minus Moore!
Pretty darn good.
Just noticed we are playing tOSU Tuesday. Who will pitch? A win will be good for the RPI.
OT: Would Moreland really be that silly to come out in this years super deep draft?? He likely wouldn’t be drafted at all ( or late 2nd) and spend a career floating from D league to over seas.
Whereas he could spend the summer working on his ball handling, shooting and maybe learn a post move or two and play his way into the first round or in a perfect world into the lottery next year.
Seems like the no brainer move for him to come back for his senior year
I agree. There are enough somewhat polished players available. I’m not sure why anyone would waste a draft pick on such a rough project. Unless he knows he won’t be able to abstain from offseason puff puff passing and runs to high a risk of getting the boot.
In other news…Kyle Peko is now showing up in the online directory. Miracles happen!
http://directory.oregonstate.edu/?type=showfull&osuuid=60535449007
Since our playmaker DE left, we’re due for a playmaker DT. We just can’t ever have them both in play at the same time…
Truer words have never been spoken.
That’s Kyle Peko, the English major…you may thinking of someone else.
just you wait. He’ll suffer a torn ACL or something in fall camp and never see the field. luck o the beavs
I still wonder what our team might have looked like with Suh lined up beside Paea for 3 years. Gotta land the in-state guys…
A Beaver basketball player getting in trouble with the law? Must be Pac-12 tournament time!!
Sounds like LMW got a DUII on Friday. Also sounds like Coach Rob is letting him play against Oregon, and hasn’t decided yet if he’ll start. Somebody is coaching to keep his job…
http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2014/03/langston_morris-walker_to_retu.html
3/7/2014 1:30:33AM NW 4TH ST AND NW MONROE AVE CORVALLIS DUII On Friday, March 07, 2014 Deputies arrested LANGSTON MORRIS WALKER (19 yoa) for Driving Under the Influence.
http://www.co.benton.or.us/sheriff/enforcement/dailylogs.php
I like how CR says LMW had to sit out Saturday because “an incident takes place and he’s suspended for breaking university rules, not my rules.”
I’m curious why DUII is not against CR’s rules?
there’s some crazy ass shit in there since his DUI….”Livestock at large”
how did an LA boy like me end up in Corvallis?
How about this one:
3/8/2014 11:23:57AM 230 S 5TH ST DARIMART MONROE THEFT 2ND DEGREE On Saturday March 8, 2014 at about 11:15 am Complainant reported 350 pounds of copper wire (scrap value of 402.50) out of the bed of his Ford F250 while it was parked in front of the Dari Mart in Monroe.
Are there some Samoan Tweeker’s on the loose? Who the hell in the middle of the day has the strength to yard out a 350lb spool of copper wire while someones stopped at a convenience store? As Tyrone Biggums would say: Thanks Red Balls, Ooooooo
In Monroe at 11:15am, too. I’m calling bs on that one.
At least that explains why the owner of the truck didn’t see anything while inside. You have to park on the side of the building and walk around the front to get in there.
It wouldn’t be hard to roll a spool (or lift a couple) off one full size into an equal or smaller bed.
4th and Monroe?
Isn’t that the courthouse/jail?
Did they drive him around the block to book him?
Now that I read the report, he drove past the cop shop, turned between it and the jail and took a left at the courthouse… to be stopped in front of Benton Hotel.
I don’t care if the law is bad or if the reason for pulling him over was lazy. He picked the absolute worst spot in the whole town to make a driving error.
I also don’t know why anyone would submit to a breathalyzer. The damn things have a margin of error of about 50%. And that’s before it picks up on false positives.
Refusing a breathalyzer is an automatic license suspension isn’t it?
Breathalyzer or blood testing
“(1) A person commits the offense of driving while under the influence of intoxicants if the person drives a vehicle while the person:
(a) Has 0.08 percent or more by weight of alcohol in the blood of the person as shown by chemical analysis of the breath or blood of the person made under ORS 813.100 (Implied consent to breath or blood test), 813.140 (Chemical test with consent) or 813.150 (Chemical test at request of arrested person);
(b) Is under the influence of intoxicating liquor, a controlled substance or an inhalant; or
(c) Is under the influence of any combination of intoxicating liquor, an inhalant and a controlled substance.”
Not necessarily… refusing a chemical test is. A breath test is considered one, but you should also have the choice between breath and blood. Blood is accurate. Breath doesn’t even read alcohol. It reads the whole spectrum of methyl class substances in breath. And it’s highly inaccurate. That’s why they can’t test you if you say you threw something up into your mouth or even recently belched. Stomach acids can give a false reading. Holding your breath before you take it can give a false reading. Eating breath mints and especially inhaling auto exhaust can give false positives.
In this case, he admitted (never admit anything to police) to drinking something. So even a blood test would have likely resulted in the same result. But it also would have given a correct BAC, and it could have been .01%, legal for even minors… which is a stupid law IMO. That’s how wildly inaccurate breath tests are.
I know a lawyer who successfully defends DWIs all the time. He tells his clients to only roll down the car window enough to hand over requested info and to never submit to a sobriety or chemical test period. Apparently losing one’s license is very much less a problem than DWII. And DWII has become a racket in recent years.
It’s a stupid and dangerous thing to do. But people get nicked for blowing 0.00% and admitting nothing just because the police have all the power. The above recommendations are IMO very valid if you know you’re innocent. If you’re drunk, I suggest you just stumble out in the road and puke on the cop’s shoes.
I have always wondered if you have the right to demand a blood test. DUI is a money making racket. Diversion is expensive, the pigs wrote my friend up a few years back for blowing .03 then told him it wouldn’t go on his record if he paid his fines and went to diversion. I told him to hire a lawyer but he just forked over thousands of dollars instead.
“DUI is a money making racket.”
See former CPD officer David Cox
http://www.totaldui.com/news/articles/unusual/former-oregon-dui-cop-helps-idaho-dui-suspects.aspx
“It was his second suspension in two years. Morris-Walker was suspended one game last season for allegedly trying to steal a T-shirt from a campus bookstore.”
SMH seriously?? With all the free swag they get? I just hope it wasn’t an OSU T Shirt
He was “ReBeaving.”
OT–I always thought that Joe Paterno was thrown under the bus and all the facts hadn’t been fleshed out before the NCAA ruled. It was over pretty quick considering all the time they spent gathering the facts in the Nike U case.

More on LMW. I understand drinking as a college student but to get in a car and drive downtown?
http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2014/03/langston_morris-walker_told_of.html#incart_river
Gotta love the Corvallis PD. Got pulled over for turning without signaling. Happened to me on more than one occasion in that town. They must figure theyre bound to catch an underage/drinking driver by chance if they pull everyone over who doesnt flash a signal.
Wasn’t CPD. It was the Benton County Sheriffs Office. But they aren’t any better imo. Love that he blew a .04.
And then recently there’s this judge who a DA refused to prosecute because he blew a .06
This shit happens every fucking day. What a GREAT and fair legal system we got, huh folks????
http://www.oregonlive.com/washingtoncounty/index.ssf/2014/02/washington_county_judge_cleare.html
Small world. That judge is Conner, our Oregonian beat writer’s dad.
And the reason I found out about LMW in the first place today was because of Conner’s tweets about it. We’ve come full circle. Time for a new story
I could tell you several stories about the BCSO. Just as worthless and corrupt as Portland or CPD
he is under 21 so a .04 won’t get tossed.
I understand that. Not the point however
Not just Corvallis. Trooper parks outside a local tavern routinely after midnight. He follows a buddy for 4 miles and when he turns on to a side street the lights come on and when he asked the trooper why he was pulled over the trooper says that he didn’t turn his signal on until after he went into the turn lane. Long story short he was taken to the station (his truck towed) and blew .04 but was still ticketed for DUII. Judge threw it out and the tow yard operator said, “yeah that guy is good for my business”.
Drinking Four Loko? Such horrible choices.
yes sure, I mean sir.
Didn’t even know they made that stuff anymore. Does it still taste like cat pee in cough syrup?
Why do you know how cat pee in cough syrup tastes? Do you have alot of cats? You should always replace the cap on your cough syrup.
I lived in Texas. They have to twist a lime and salt their beer just to make it palatable down there.
So what is a DUI III or a DUI NAIA? Are you guys sure this did not happen in Ogden or Alabama ?
Kid stands on lawn with beer in front of fraternity. Cop stops car and summons kid to cross sidewalk to meet cop car. Cop then tickets kid for open container on public property. Corvallis.
Stay thirsty my friends…..
watching USF/BYU in the WCC tournament. How about Rex Walters? Young guy, hasn’t done too badly and USF has gotten better every year since he’s been there.
That’s a major no.
First, USF has pretty much mirrored OSU for the last six years in terms of records except for this year.
Second, Walters has pretty much done to USF hoops what Bone did to PSU… without the NCAA trips. Well… that’s a little hyperbole. But he has shuffled through a ton of players (literally two tons) while at USF. And some of the stories are a little weird.
hence why I asked as I don’t know much about him but he seems to have had some success at USF. Still like Leon Rice but I think he winds up in Pullman after Boner gets the axe
Fair enough. He had carte blanche at USF when he came in, so he flushed the system… as any new coach is wont to do unless taking over for someone who left the program in a top 20 condition. I think some 18 players have transferred in his time. And that doesn’t include several who were told they wouldn’t be granted another year under a ship once he got there.
I honestly don’t know why USF doesn’t go after a big name coach and fly away. The campus is on the most primo spot in the best part of one of the best cities in the world. The architecture is gorgeous, and academic support for anyone seeking a degree is superb. War Memorial is the perfect arena for hoops in that setting (with a couple upgrades). And they have a rich hoops history with some of those alums still alive and kicking. They should be recruiting better than most of the Big East (or whatever conference they are now) parochial schools.
I think the best recent hire was Larry Brown at SMU. The AD there hit two grand slams with one swing, and it’s now going to pay off for the school as a whole.
Beat the Suckeyes! Go Beavs.

I guess the coaching staff is not going after new blood, just ones that show up on the waiver wire.
I wonder who the next former recruit that got away is now going to transfer to OSU this year. We’ve got Del Rio, Kline, and Dockery. Then Broughton next year.

LMW will not be charged with DUI
Christian Stringer, Benton County chief deputy district attorney, said Tuesday that he decided Monday not to file criminal charges after reviewing the case. On his breath test early Friday, Morris-Walker registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.04, half the legal limit of 0.08 and a level that Stringer said would make it difficult to prove a case for driving under the influence of intoxicants.
http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2014/03/beavers_langston_morris-walker.html#incart_more_sports
Does he still get an MIP?
What about a PIMP?
GIMP?
WIMP?
BLIMP?
CHIMP?
Alright.
You die.
She walks out of here with a severe….
LIMP.
Wow someone in power actually using common sense and not unnecessarily ruining a young kids life ???
#Watershed moment
I don’t care what anyone says. .04 BAC is not impaired enough to be charged with a DUII. Yet it still happens to people everyday. When a judge doesn’t get prosecuted for blowing .06, the same standard should apply to EVERYONE. There’s a reason the legal limit is .08. It’s BS they only have to prove you were impaired even if you blow a .05. Who’s a jury going to believe? You or a cop? As we all know, police NEVER lie to sway a jury to get a conviction. The law states .08 is the legal limit. .08 and over should equal DUII. .07 or less should not. Don’t like it, make the legal BAC lower.
Never been pulled over for suspicion of DUI nor ever gotten one either.
Especially in Corvallis… I had an incident where I was in the car making out with this girl and a fight broke out behind the car. . As soon as I stepped out of the car to see what the hell was going on ( should have just stayed inside) I got sprayed with mace. Having no idea who maced me I took of staggering/ running. Finally after I stumbled a few feet an officer finally yelled ( police get on the ground)…
They gave me a disorderly conduct ticket. When the police report emerged the officer who sprayed the mace wrote that I came out from the car and started kicking ( the victim) in the head!!! Luckily I knew the guy who got beat up and he testified in court and never laid a hand nor a foot on him and the charge was dropped. The audacity of the CPD to completely falsify a report like that was really eye opening for me. Think I was 19 at the time.
exactly. Police lie. All the time. Anyone that thinks otherwise has their head buried up their ass. It’s not about right and wrong anymore. It’s about money
If they push a DUI in a situation, it might depend on what happened. If you caused a wreck, and blew .04, it’s going to be easier to push a DUI conviction and harder to defend that alcohol didn’t play a role in the crash.
He should consider himself lucky. While I agree with the decision, he demonstrated poor thinking in even driving that late at night. Maybe he never does this again because he rightly thinks he just won the lottery.
And if he was headed for fast food, he should consider himself doubly lucky for not getting to ingest that shit.
That reminds me… is there a decent burger in Corvallis? I’ve spent years looking for one here in Eugene, and I think I’ve found two. But consistency is a problem with both. I like the Chief in Coburg and a dive in Springfield called Get-n-Go. The first is more consistently good while the second seems to depend on who is behind the counter. The first is a skinny pattie, and the second is thick. But both can be mauled and get the order wrong, and they’re still better than anything else I can find in this deity-forsaken strip mall of a town.
Can’t help you for Corvallis but Portland’s list came out last week:
http://www.oregonlive.com/dining/index.ssf/2014/03/readers_name_portlands_best_bu.html
That looks like an incomplete list. I’m not really sold on Killer Burger… or any other on that list except Rock House and maybe Tilt. They’re just good burgers, not great. You can just go to Red Coach and get the same fare.
I’m surprised Little Big Burger isn’t on this list. It seems like a popular place. I can’t stand truffle oil, so I don’t like their fries. Brunch Box is another hipster type joint I would have thought got popular votes in a poll like this. And it is better than all the others here. I’m also surprised the Virginia Cafe isn’t on the list. It’s another standard burger, but fans of the place love to hype it on polls like this.
I had a really really good burger out at the food carts on Belmont a couple months ago. I can’t remember the name of the cart. All I remember is that it’s red, and the menu is funky good and the posted hours are funny. We were headed to the Horse Brass to meet friends and had about an hour to find a quick dinner first, and this place was damn good. But again… truffle oil in the garlic mayo and on some sides? At least she had a good sauce that was tomato/pepper based, not some “special” sauce made of mayo and ketchup.
there is nowhere in Corvallis to get a decent burger. However, in Philomath there is a little mom and pop stand in the Shell station that opened last fall called Willy’s gateway grub. Pretty tasty burgers in there. But the owner of the shell station is a prick
For a restaurant burger I like Sky High Brewery in Corvallis and First Burger in Albany.
http://skyhighbrewing.com/
http://thefirstburger.com/
A good burger has to use fresh high quality beef and these two are about the only places that don’t try to pass off frozen Sysco patties for their burgers around here.
I think a drive in style/ semi fast & inexpensive burger only place could do well in Corvallis.
We had one. Jamie’s. Although their burgers went great, just ok
I miss Bobs big burgers. And they were great OSU supporters.
Bob’s was a pretty good standard burger. Squirrel’s and Murphy’s have always been decent as well. I generally don’t rave about brewpub burgers all that much, but maybe I’ll try the Sky High sometime.
Corvallis just needs a good burger shop… something equivalent to University Hero, only for burgers.
Just to add nothing to the conversation:
I was in NYC recently and we went to a burger place called BRGR. At this place if you don’t specify how you want your burger cooked it comes medium rare. Raw hamburger=fucking disgusting.
The fact of the matter is there’s no statistical difference in traffic fatalities between states that use .08 BAC and those that use .10 BAC for DUII. It’s all about the ability to write more tickets.

Beavs – Eye of Bucks
Listening to the Pat Casey interview is so refreshing.
Rough start for Jake Thompson. Gives up a double, single, BB and hit a batter. tOSU scores 3 in the t1.
That’s it for Thompson, Brandon Jackson starts the t2 for the Beavs. A Conforto walk the only base runner in the b1.
Jackson with a 1-2-3 inning. Beavs tie it up on a bases loaded sac fly by Ice and an E4.
Yeske with a short leash today. Jackson with HBP and a single and with runners at the corners in comes Mak Fox. Gets a ground ball to end the inning.
Fox gives up 2 infield hits, one erased on a DP. With 2 down and runner at first buckeyes put the hit and run on and the runner is called out at the plate from the Morrison relay from Conforto. It didn’t look like Ice had the ball in the glove but then the runner might not have touched the plate.
Beavs look bad at the plate and go in order.
Beavs get the go-ahead run on an RBI single by Davis. Beavs load the bases with one out and don’t score. Hamiton fouls out, Howard grounds out.
Fox retired 7 in a row before giving up a one out single in the 7th. Yeskie with the hook. Fox 3.2 IP gave up 4 hits, no runs, didn’t walk a batter and 0 Ks.
Shelton comes in to start the 8th after Belding served up the DP to end the 7th. LHP Shelton gives up a leadoff triple to the LHB. Wow, tOSU batter flies out to shallow RF on a 3-0 pitch. Pop up to Morrison for the second out. Popped out to shallow CF and tOSU strands a leadoff triple.
Beavs win 4-3. Shelton walks the leadoff man but gets a K and then Ice throws out the runner trying to steal. Fly ball to Conforto ends it. Not the best performance but came through with the W.
Good mid-week win 7 in a row now right?
Good win against a legit team. Bonus: Can give crap to my brother who lives outside of Columbus.
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking the time and actual effort to generate
a superb article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and never
seem to get nearly anything done.
