  1. Casey changed up the rotation between yesterday and today. Drew Rasmussen is expected to pitch the first game of the double header, with Eckert throwing the second game tomorrow.

  2. I’m going to the Sat game because it is early and the tickets will be cheap and I’ll get a whole section so my son can run around a little

  3. Got tickets just over a week ago, looked like sales were brisk. Not a lot to choose from in reserved.

    BTW, how about the free standing room only deal? Is that new? If I lived close I’d be checking that out for sure, but not gonna make a long drive to take the chance. Besides, the “no access to restrooms” feature could be a concern.

    Anxious to see how Rasmussen does.

    • Earlier this year they announced that more season tickets had been sold than previous years. There will be plenty of empty seats I can assure you. There’s just not a good process to get unused tickets to somebody that wants them.

      • Yeah, I read that. Was responding to the comment that tickets would be cheap. The scalper guy at the parking garage is gonna do a brisk business this year if there isn’t a good way developed to “get unused tickets to somebody that wants them”. Is Stub Hub a likely method?

        Don’t ya think the empty seats will be reduced due to folks wanting to check out the changes to Goss? Along with the new roster?

        • I do pretty good on Craigslist getting rid of tickets I can’t use for Beaver events. I always just list them at face value so I don’t have to eat them. Nobody can go to everything.

  4. Always nice to give up an out to end the inning to a pitcher throwing junk up to the plate. Hate when coaches try to “steal” a run early in the game with a pitcher struggling a little

  5. Hitting sounds close to par with last few seasons. Pitching sounds to be an extreme drop off from prior few years. Was not expecting such a massive drop. Granted I’ve not seen much of this years club, but the numbers are speaking for themselves.

  6. Thats it, I’m settin up a vizit with Flat Casey tomorrow.

    I could pitch, I could play 1st in my sleep, center, hot corner, base coach. The list goes on!!!!!!

    I’m a 5-8 tool player the way I see it!!!! I’ve got more tools than Bob the builder!!! Maybe my nickname could be the carpenter!! Just like the man himself!!!

      • But now we face the really hard part: making sure the FCC doesn’t abuse its authority.

        Lol. At least they realize. This was a back door, trojan horse, guys. They couldn’t pass it through the front door. Don’t worry, it will be modified for our own good, to protect us from ourselves.

        • I don’t see how that’s possible. If the gubmint wants to collect all the metadata it can, why constrict said data and force alternate communications for all us evil terroristic peons?

    • Nobody knows because they can’t release it until all final edits by each of the board members are returned and implemented.

      I’m sure you can guess who the two board members are who have not returned their final edits yet.

      I’ve heard all sorts of stuff. One person told me the thing was really only 10 pages long, and the rest is a bunch of if-then clarifications and question-answering. But you can probably be sure that it’s similar to the Open Internet Order, except it now draws ISPs into the common carrier classification, which is where they should be.

  7. Please…please…let one of our basketball teams win today. The women need this win bad. I sincerely hope they fix the ball screen issues they had and I wonder if Cal sags on Hamblin the way Stanford did.

    Boyd and Gray for Cal are like Stockton and Malone out there (Gray is 3rd in scoring in conference, Boyd is first in assists by a large margin). We need to stop that inside outside game they have going. They don’t have the super quick and talented guards that Stanford does, but this Cal team beat Stanford in Maples (as well as got beat by Stanford at Haas).

    I also hope that this shooting thing works itself out. Honestly? I think it was jitters from the start and overthinking for the women. Something felt off from the first three that Syd completely airballed from the corner. Only Jamie really was a knockdown shooter, an antithesis from having the deep threats of Gabby, Syd, Ali, Syd, Deven, and Syd. If they shoot the way they really can, this game against Cal should be a win. Shoot 6-28 again when defenders aren’t even closing out that well like Thursday and don’t expect good things to happen.

  8. Anyone here hear about how pissed off some fans are that football starts off at 5pm on Friday? Might have missed it, if you guys talked about it… But…another example of OSU fans who need to be hit in the throat with a lead pipe. If you were to ask me: “hey, if riley leaves and you get a coach who is willing to run spread and create a nasty defense in the process, would you be willing to have EVERY game on a Friday night?” Not sure how many people would have said no to that. I know I wouldnt. And so now that we have two games on a Friday ( I believe) fans are saying “this is why I’m not a season ticket holder” REALLY?????? idk… Am I the only one who feels like fans who are currently bitching are doing so at ENTIRELY the wrong time, and/or just really don’t understand what OSU could possibly have in the making? 4 sport powerhouse school. Baseball, Basketball (men and women) AND now football? But by all means, Protest your season tickets away. SMH

    • The only thing I see wrong with it is that some people out there probably bought season tickets knowing they would be missing one game. I’m thinking those complaining have familial obligations. If your kid’s opening game is that Friday, and you were previously thinking, “Cool! I get to see my kid play. Then the next day we can go down to Corvallis and watch my alma mater and see our new coaches and make a day of it.”

      It would piss me off if I bought season tickets and suddenly found out I should have bought games on a single basis. I would want my money back since I’m not the one wasting it.

  9. I much prefer a Friday at 5:00 vs a late Saturday game. I’m not sure what qualifies as geriatric, I’m OS class 78. That sounds like a long time ago… What happened, when did I get old…
