In Palo Alto right now. Wish the Beavs were up here this weekend.
Beavs 5-5 over their last 10. Reverting to the mean in action, but I think they get a sweep this weekend.
Game times:
| 04/12/13 | vs. Utah * | Corvallis, Ore. | 5:35 p.m. PT |
| 04/13/13 | vs. Utah * | Corvallis, Ore. | 2:05 p.m. PT |
| 04/14/13 | vs. Utah * | Corvallis, Ore. | 12:05 p.m. PT |
Last 13 games were the toughest part of the schedule. Couple that with the injury to Smith and .500 is about as good as I expected. Schedule lightens up the next few weeks with 3 straight series the Beavs should win and a couple non con freebies thrown in. Good time to put another streak together while the rest of the conference beats each other up. Beavs should start to pull away from the pack a little going into the Stanford and Oregon series.
Lots to encourage Beavs fans along with the schedule; Hayes and Davis coming around at the plate and the return of Smith pretty much head up my list.
The college world series location is a joke, let’s get that annual statement out of the way early this year.
Anyone think we have a chance of hosting a regional?
Just take care of business and we’re set to be a national seed. One series at a time.
Seven hour drive for me Jason. Needless to say, I like it.
It’s very expensive to travel to Omaha and every room fills up within a 100 mile radius is my issue.
What I would like to see is the Beavers take these next 11 games and go on a tear that would put them in a prime spot that lands not only a regional, but a SUPER regional!! I agree that they should win a lot if not all of these games coming up and I think they will give Oregon a taste of their own medicine at PK park later on
OT but another thing I would like to see is CR hire Bob Cantu as the new assistant at OSU as he was let go by USC earlier this week. Article today on Oregonlive.com on the assistant search and CR’s plans… Interesting!
I was thinking Cantu would be a pipe dream because I thought he did well enough as an interim to get a head nod somewhere. But people keep mentioning his name like they know what he’s about. And I know some of the people I’ve talked to think a basketball is oblong and has one continuous seam.
I still want Litzenberger though.

Thanks
Tyler Smith singles in his return to the lineup, Conforto follows with a single and Dylan Davis drives in Smith with a groundout. 1-0 Beavers.
Tyler Smith has gotten on base his first 2 at-bats. Safe to say he was missed.
Pat Casey needs to start putting the game in motion. They can steal off Utah’s starter, he’s not very quick to the plate.
Boyd is a fast worker.
1-0 Beavers after 4 1/2 innings
Beavers having unproductive at-bats. A lot of easy outs.
1-0 Beavers after 5 innings
Why is Gale Sayers dancing for the Beavs?
Beavers again getting no production from Hayes. He’s been a major disappointment.
Boyd with a 1 hit shutout through 7 innings. Looking for his 2nd 1 hit shutout in last 2 home starts.
Bases loaded and 2 outs for Tyler Smith
Beavers blow another golden opportunity to score. 1-0 after 7 innings
Beavers win 1-0, Matt Boyd with another shutout. They played awful offensively but Matt Boyd put the team on his back and got them the win.
Great game by Boyd.
Can’t they turn off Parker’s mike when they are not playing? Sounds like some high school kids are running the production crew.
OT… new show out tomorrow:

http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/04/12/vicious-beaver-attacks-and-kills-man-in-belarus/
No Hayes or Rodriguez in the lineup today and Beau Day is getting the start. Interesting decision by Casey.
Davis doesn’t come through with runners on the corners and 1 out. He continues to struggle in these situations
2 out RBI double by Barnes and it’s 1-0 Beavers
1-0 Beavers after 1 1/2 innings. Moore has retired the first 6 batters thanks to Conforto’s incredible diving catch for the 1 out in the 2nd inning.
Beau Davis with a single. Putting him in the lineup has paid off so far
Joey Matthews doesn’t get a bunt down and hits into a double play. Team still struggling to execute the fundamentals
Runners on the corners with 2 outs for Andy Peterson
Beavers are 2 for 19 with runners in scoring position in their last 3 games
Here we are again, the bats are now going silent after getting a single run
1-1 tie now. This is what happens when you consistently fail to execute the fundamentals offensively. You let opponents hang around and now it’s all tied up
Runners on first and second and 1 out for Joey Matthews. Time for him to make up for his earlier mistake.
And he hits a weak infield popup. He’s been pretty bad when given a chance this season
Beau Day. Sister is named Bah Day?
The sister is named Do-dah …
Two out, two RBI double makes it 3-1 Beavers. Huge hit.
Didn’t like the looks of Smith after the slide into third. But he did seem to be looking at his right hand, not the injured left.
Noticed the same thing. Why have a guy coming off an injury do that?
Smith probably was stealing on his own
Smith committed a baseball sin, never make the first out or last out at 3rd.
Like Ben Motter?
Nice.
GoBeav, has anyone ever found out what happened with Adam Duke?
All I heard was he was with his family and no longer a part of the team. Haven’t heard if he went to another school or not.
Its too bad that they decided to stop using the center field camera angle
Agree. That was nice.
That was what made the stream so good. Honestly didn’t see a truly good reason to stop doing that but it happens.
Wasn’t there a claim that the CF camera allowed detailed scouting? Not sure I buy it.
I feel like one of these days Conforto is gonna break out and hit 2-3 homers
Conforto showed good patience and gets a single to move Peterson to third, nobody out.
Single by Conforto, runners on the corners with no outs. Need to break out this inning and create some separation
Looked like Davis went around on the previous pitch, Beavers caught a break, then Davis took advantage of it and hit a two run double in the gap and it’s 5-1 Beavers
That was close, but I’ll take it. Is Davis still being used as a pitcher?
Very rarely. I think he should just focus on being a hitter full time. Great arm pitching wise but has never really been able to show any command of his pitches.
He has had a couple chances this season; real problems controlling all that speed.
Nice job by Davis. They have really been needing a big inning
Great bunt by Barnes. Davis on third with 1 out for Keyes. Kavin is good in these spots.
You called it.
And he comes through with an RBI single and advances to 2nd on a bobble by the centerfielder. That was a classic example of why Keyes is so good in those spots. He wasn’t chasing early in the count, he made Chapman make perfect pitches and when Chapman made a mistake he capitalized. Beau Day follows with an RBI single and it’s 7-1 Beavers
Keyes looked like he tweaked the leg on the slide into 2nd, but seemed OK as he brought the 7th run in with a slide on Day’s RBI single.
Once again, Keyes with smart baserunning.
Best baserunner on the team by a mile.
Keyes getting it done with the bat and the glove
Nice to see Jeff Hendrix sent into CF, I realize Casey was probably playing the percentages in starting the right handed hitting of Matthews but I favor Hendrix. He is said to be the best OF for the Beavs (how do ya beat Conforto) and his baserunning is a real plus.
7-2 Beavers after 5 1/2 innings
Top of the order coming up for B6, sixth was the Beavs inning for a while, not so much lately.
7-2 Good Guys.
Beau knows baseball.
Not questioning starting Day now GoBeavs?
“Interesting decision” is questioning now? You’re reaching here.
My comment isn’t hostile, stop taking it as such. Just saying Day had a good start.
No, you didnt just say Day had a good start. You ragged on GoBeavs for questioning the decision to start him. No need to do that. Just his opinion.
My comment was made without malice, there was no “ragging” going on. Lighten up people, we’re all rooting for the same side here.
8-3 Beavers after Beau Day comes through with a clutch two out RBI single. 4 for 4 with 2 RBIs today. Beau can hit.
Beavers win 8-3 and are now 9-2 in conference play and remain in first place in the Pac-12. Need to get the sweep tomorrow.
Great to get another series win within the conference. If they win tomorrow and complete the sweep do you think they’ll still drop in the rankings because of that Tuesday loss to the Ducks?
no. but they won’t move up either
AZ and WSU split a DH. ASU beats Usc evens up series. Ucla beats LMU, Stanford gets crushed by UW evening up series. UO and Cal rain out?
ducks over cal, 10-4.
Tweet from 2014 4* RB prospect Devonte Downs
WOW lol Coach Riley and Oregon St just sent me 101 letters in one day they love me pic.twitter.com/F0V85O0zau
My favorite part about this is that Roberto Nelson was the subject of a Sports Illustrated featured article (If memory serves it may have even been a cover article) about how sending letters as a means of recruiting is no longer an effective strategy using the fact that he didn’t get any from the beavers and he got hundreds and hundreds from other schools as it’s central point.
101 ways to say I love you.
Casper at 1B today, Day at DH, Espo at C,
Again, no start for Hendrix
Wetzler throws nothing but strikes in the first, nothing but poor pitches in the second.
1-0 Utes, 1 out w/runners at 1 and 2.
Beau just keeps hitting. Runners on first and second and no outs for Casper in the bottom of the 2nd
Casper has mentally taken himself out if it. He can’t even get a sac down.
Bases loaded and 1 out for Nate Esposito
Do you know if Jake is injured?
Cleared to play but has problem with rib muscle; Casey said he could be used if needed.
Thanks, let’s hope the Beavs don’t need him today and he can get another day of rest.
True
He hits a ball hard and right at the pitcher that doubles off Keyes at first. Some serious bad luck.
Both Keyes and Espo put the ball in play; Casper showed some patience on the first two balls but, in the end, couldn’t get the bunt down.
Luck O the Beavs?
Ryan Barnes up with runners on first and second and 2 outs. Need a big hit here
And he comes through with an RBI single. Tied at 1
Nice hitting there.
With 2 strikes Barnes gets the RBI single………and here comes Beau!
Barnes is locked in right now, great approach at the plate
Day shows patience and gets the 2RBI double!
Beau Day with a two run double to the wall in right centerfield. 3-1 Beavers. Utah cannot get Beau Day out. Gotten on base in all 7 trips to the plate this weekend.
Jerad Casper with an RBI double to make it 4-1. Nice inside-out swing there to fight off the pinch to right field.
Jerad Casper tries to come home on Keyes’ infield single and is thrown out at the plate. Casey won’t be happy about that decision.
No need for that.
Gotta think the 3rd base coach sent him. I like the aggressiveness but you gotta know who you have running.
Yeah, more than likely thought they could catch the first baseman napping but the likelihood of that working wasn’t high as Casper isn’t the fastest of guys. If it’s Andy Peterson or Tyler Smith that’s probably a run.
Exactly, coach needs to recognize that Casper doesn’t have the speed
Hendrix!
Check out the PAC 12 site. Shows us in last place with a record of 9-2 and that equaling a .180 winning %. WTF is that?
Basketball officials put the standings together.
Guilt by association.
I like Wetzler’s move to first.
That’s what she said.
He was out at 2nd
See above.
Looked like the throw was too high for a putout, seemed safe to me.
Update?
t7, one out nobody on. 4-1 good guys.
GWH you been fishin’?
No! And it’s been killing me. My buddy sent me a picture of a 20# rainbow from my old stomping grounds in Idaho. Thinking about heading over for a quick trip. Went sturgeon fishing in OC a month ago…but I’ve got big plans for this spring. I’ll be exploring the S. Puget Sound for rockfish and Lings, and will be scouting around for salmon fishing this summer.
You?
Some winter steelies, but that’s in the past now. Exploring the N.Santiam a bit.
I really wanted to chase steelhead this winter, but just never found the time. Next year..
I hope to hit the santiam later this spring/early summer for a summer steelhead/late springer combo.
Wetzler steps aside for Bryant, a good move IMHO, 107 pitches enough for Ben today.
Stream died. Anyone else?
Yes
Anybody know what is happening with the game?
b8 Jansen leadoff single up the middle, Barnes then Day to follow. Still 4-1 Beavs
Ute thrower had 41 IP and given up 56 hits coming in to today’s game has the Beavs handcuffed.
Baseball is a funny sport, Beavers tee off on yesterday’s starter who had been pitching really well, Pond comes into relief today and struggled against everyone and the Beavers can’t hit him. Such a weird and unpredictable sport.
And now, Hendrix comes on to force the match up gambit and Pond is to the showers. Utes may regret this move, Pond had plenty left in the tank.
So with Pond out Hendrix is pulled for Clark, we’ll see.
b8 and the Beavs have two on with one out, Hendrix to PH to a new ute pitcher. Still 4-1. Well Hendrix isn’t going to hit and Clark will hit instead.
Stream OK now.
For old guys like us, always a concern!
Big road trip coming up and Casey brings Schultz in, I’d probably have saved him.
First pitch for an out, if he keeps this up he’ll stay fresh!
11 pitches by my count and Schultz can sit down.
Beavs sweep!
Schultz has been dominant as the closer. Usually breezes through the 9th.
Beavers win 4-1 to sweep the series and improve to 10-2 in conference play and 28-6 overall

Saw this on a chat transcript on the Baseball America site(dated April 8th):
“Robert (Jacksonville, Oregon): What are your sources telling you when Jace Fry will return to the Beavers and how will that affect them in the playoffs?
Aaron Fitt: Soon! Pat Casey indicated to me yesterday that Fry could probably be available now if they Beavers needed him, but they are easing him back cautiously. Apparently he has looked really good in side sessions. You can never have too many quality arms — he’ll give them a nice boost in the second half, because he’s probably got the best arm on the whole staff.”
If true, that would be huge.

Chad Ford – ESPN Draft expert – Says Moreland is a late 2nd-round project to undrafted if he stays in. http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft2013/story/_/page/InOut-2013/2013-nba-draft-list …
Cunningham was also projected as a 2nd rounder by Ford, so take the projection with a grain of salt, but it seems really risky for Eric to make this move. Best of luck to him and keep working on those free throws….
He’s one of two (Tony Snell is the other) early entrants who have not signed with an agent yet.
Moreland’s press conference was to announce he’s staying at OSU for another year.
Oregon State Hoops ?@OregonStateMBB 9m
Eric Moreland announces he will withdraw his name from the NBA Draft and return to Oregon State for his junior season.
you guys think eric will be drafted? this is risky but maybe he lost faith in cr lol
I read this after Towson beat the Beavs last year – http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-01-28/entertainment/bs-ae-lukemurray-20120126_1_luke-murray-bill-murray-pat-skerry
Think about it, if he were to come to OSU – he and CR both bald, both celebrity-related. The team could have’Halloween with Bill Murray and Thanksgiving at the White House. OTOH, Luke Murray sounds like a cool guy and might be just what the Beavs need as a coach.
Murray seems to be connected to the same people CR is connected to. Remember he was a GA for Miller at UA a couple years ago. And he was an assistant for the ever-rising Dan Hurley. And CR seems to have a very good relationship with someone named Hurley given recruiting results.
Along those lines though, i would rather see us steal someone like Travis Steele. If we’re going to be looking for a new coach after next year or sometime soon, then we go out and overpay this kid just so we keep him on later.
Or…
He’s good enough he helps get CR over the top and gets hired on somewhere as a head like he eventually will anyway.
Oregon LB Tyson “4Loko” Coleman got injured in practice today and left in a walking boot. No word on how he plans to outrun the police with a boot on his leg.
Holy crap, there’s some pretty grizzly pics floating around of a terrorist bombing at the Boston Marthon just now. Just awful….
They’re not sure what caused the explosions yet. And there have been none of the usual “so-and-so has claimed responsibility” reports. It may just be an equipment malfunction somewhere. Of course, that won’t stop someone from trying to claim it. The timing just seems all wrong since it was three hours after the winners crossed.
I hope you’re right and this wasn’t intentional. People I know in Boston are saying they happened about 15 seconds apart.
Nothing enrages me more than cowardly fucking terrorists, as it’s looking like this was. I’m using that as a blanket statement too. I don’t care if they’re Muslims from the Middle East or some kid who got picked on once in sixth grade. It takes an absolutely monstrous person to be able to commit a mass act of murder like this.
I’m hearing it could have been a gas line.
That would explain more fireball than concussion and shrapnel… and what looks like burn-off coming from under the sidewalk.
I’ve heard small homemade bombs.
NBC Nightly News ?@nbcnightlynews 14m
BREAKING: Small homemade bomb is preliminary cause of explosion at Boston Marathon, law enforcement officials tell NBC News
The Associated Press ?@AP 6m
BREAKING: Intelligence official: 2 more explosive devices found at Boston Marathon; being dismantled
I don’t think it’s a gas leak.
NY Post is reporting that an injured Saudi National is in custody as a suspect.
3rd explosion has happened at Boston Public Library.
JFK library… that was where the reports of “utilities” got mixed in with the original bombs. Apparently a mechanical fire was reported, and that’s where people started to speculate about gas line issues.
There was also an EOD controlled explosion near the public library.
Well, terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. One man’s terrorist is another’s patriot. I expect we committed terrorist acts (Boston Tea Party?) in developing and carrying out the revolution.
The Tea Party would be considered a terrorist attack today. In fact, I think the Crown labelled revolutionaries and all involved as terrorists at that time too.
But that particular “attack” was against a single corporation. Tea Partiers actually stayed during the event to sweep the decks of the merchant ships and to fake the lines after they were released. They did this because the ships who were contracted to carry the East India’s Tea (which was not taxed like independent shippers’ cargo was taxed, thus the argument FOR equal taxation) were locally berthed and the only reason they carried that cargo was because of the monopoly dictated by EIC and the Crown.
That would have been a “single issue” attack. Usually single issue attacks go out of their way to not hurt anyone because they’re trying to win hearts and minds as well as directly thwart what they deem an injustice.
The Marathon bombs look like they are a “right wing” attack. At least that’s what the general speculation is. Right wing domestics like to use multiple intermittent devices around the date April 19 and are less likely to claim responsibility for an event.
The third type is “international terrorism,” whose actors are as likely to be at ground zero as their leaders are to almost immediately claim responsibility.
Isn’t there a fourth type of attack? I would say driving a spike into a tree to kill or maim a lumberjack would be a “LEFT wing” attack. I would also think that PETA terrorist attacks would be “LEFT wing”.
Those are single issue.
Sounds like old marine wants his terrorism fair and balanced.
He can’t have it where results are concerned. Tree spiking has maimed one person in the 100 plus years it was used as a “tool” of “ecoterrorists,” and they promptly stopped doing it because of the bad press involved. Supposedly they marked the trees they spiked so as to avoid such injury, but someone didn’t get the message. The one injury that did occur is thought to be a “false flag” incident, which is why they stopped spiking.
PETA? I’m not sure what he’s talking about there. Breaking and entering and releasing lab animals is goofy, but I don’t think it leans toward the outrage he’s trying to convey. I think he’s talking about ALF and ELF and property damage and arson. While injury was never intended, arson can still kill.
Take the other side of the single issue attacks. Abortion clinic patients, personnel and doctors are the primary targets. Sometimes first responders are targets as well.
PETA? I don’t know what he’s talking
PETA — you know, People Eating Tasty Animals…
And I think he does have a point about there being a fourth classification. Lone gunmen and other unbalanced people like Ted Kaczynski commit acts of terrorism, but they don’t follow the same guidelines. Crazy should be a fourth group.
No.
Fourth is “LEFT wing. Ever hear of Baader-Meinhof Group?
The RAF was counter-cultural and actually had a mirror faction in Germany. In fact, can you blame a bunch of people for being anti-fascist paranoid freaks during that time? Can you blame them any more or less when they turn out to be right?
It doesn’t make what they did right. But their targets were tactical, not terroristic. And they died as a faction that way.
But enough about US domestic terrorists. Let’s talk about the Khmer Rouge.
Where do you class acts of war?….you know, the unilateral use of armed might, like the Germans going into Poland to start WW 2, or us invading Iraq for no good reason?. . Is that terrorism, or just good ‘ol ass kickin’?
I’ll answer that one.
Idiot boy started a war of aggression against Iraq. It was against every UN treaty. It was against our very nature as the USA. And we’ve not exactly been a non-warlike nation.
He committed war crimes in the process of denigrating everything sacred about US foreign policy and promises. There is zero doubt about this.
There is also only about .0023% chance he ever gets tried, let alone convicted for his crimes.
But at least we can look back on idiot boy’s “presidency” and discover new egregious acts daily.
What kind of fucked up country elects someone like that? I mean, except for Liberia and his good buddy Taylor, who else liked him?
You ask what kind of fucked up country elects someone like that? The same kind of country that spawns left wing crap like:
Weathermen – domestics that liked to kill. SLA or Symbionese Liberation Army – another fine group of peopple. The JDL and BLA (Black Liberation Army. As well as the fine folks that bombed the LA Times. And a country that allows you and I to talk crap, but really only see what we want to see. Bless you Jack for your sure in need of it.
Weathermen liked to kill? The one cop they did kill is less than the amount of their own organization they ended up killing. Then you have a cultish gang of criminals, a right wing group who isn’t really as militant as the FBI says they are and a particularly nasty underground group which ate itself from the inside… thankfully.
And then you go back over a century to complete your thought? Why not throw in Daniel Shays, John Brown and Western Pennsylvania farmers and distillers of the late 18th century?
In the end, they all committed a fraction of a fraction of what idiot boy committed (and Obama with his drones for that matter) in terms of crimes against innocents, law, humanity, etc.
Jack, old son you really need to chill. You sound very shrill. Be thankful you live in a coutry that allows it, for the most part. Hope you find peace for yourself.
I think it’s fairly well reasoned. It may be a harsh reality, but that’s not on me.
If you or I were ever granted peace, none of this would ever be posted.
Is there even such a thing as a “Cowardly” terrorist?? I doubt it. I expect it takes huge courage and daring to be a terrorist.
I dont think George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were cowards.
Is that a joke? You honestly see something courageous about attempting to carry out the mass murdrer of innocent civilians? These attacks are not on military personnel, but civilians attempting to mind their own business and go about their daily lives. If they really wanted to use violence to fight for their cause there is an entire organization called the U.S. Military which is actively hunting these guys down on a daily basis. The terrorists can take their beef up with them if they want to be ‘courageous’. Instead they choose to hide.
Regarding Washington and Jefferson, if you can find an example of them slaughtering innocent civilians I would say the same thing about them. There is nothing glorious about wiping out unarmed people.
I don’t know how you can compare what Washington and Jefferson did to what happened today. Also your Boston Tea Part claim doesn’t work either, how many people died or were injured because of that? the only that was even damaged was the merchandise on the ships. Whoever did this attacked completely innocent people, that’s cowardly.
Also I’ve seen a couple times on Twitter reports of Sean Mannion scrambling quite a bit this spring.
Warner Strausbaugh ?@WStrausbaugh 19m
Sean Mannion just scrambled up the middle for 20 yards. It was “statue-esque”
That doesnt sound good…..our defense sounds leaky or slow?
And it’s probably also a little easier when the quarterback can be touched.
