Folks asked for my take on UCSB. I haven't seen them this year, but I saw them in-person quite a bit last year, and they were mediocre. I don't fear them at all because great pitching will shut down decent hitting. UCSB's pitching is bad (4.01 team ERA), and they don't play well on the road. Beavs should be fine.
Cliff has a writeup you can read here. I'd say it's accurate.
Here's the schedule:
| 05/31/13 | vs. Texas A&M vs. UC Santa Barbara | Corvallis, Ore. | 12:05 p.m. PT |
| vs. Texas-San Antonio | Corvallis, Ore. | 5:00 p.m. PT | |
| 06/01/13 | TBD | Corvallis, Ore. | TBA |

First.
Hey Beavergoph, do Minnesota fans say "Go Gophs" or "Go Phers"? Just curious
Go Gophers! We also have to swear a lot LOL.
"Go Beaphers!"
Go Beavs!
Hopefully A&M does not have Johnny Baseball.
ESPN Bases loaded is awesome…wrap around coverage from all live games.
Kevin Hampton, right? Cliff is off to Bamy.
Wow did Bama so look like an undeserving team to get in the tourney this morning. Their pitcher was throwing meatballs until he got yanked way too late.
I posted this on the other thread, but it's just so nice.
THIS is wild!!!!
Someone with a Twitter account needs to send THIS to Roberto Nelson. Tell him to get on the Barca bandwagon stat.
Neymar is now officially my favorite footballer in the world.
*Soccer player
I think you might appreciate this.
Kansas State can swing the bat but Wichita State's pitching and defense has been abysmal. Making little league mistakes. Still think Arkansas comes out of that regional but Kansas State's offense is impressive.
am getting crushed by sb early 3-0–plenty of good seats open for this game
Their pitcher Mengden is having one of those Schultzy types of days today. Lots of wild pitches, a balk, fell off the mound at one point and UCSB getting several hits. Already got pulled in the 4th. 5-1 UCSB
demise of the SEC? scores not looking good at the moment
Ole Miss, Florida, and Alabama lose on day one….not a surprise, these teams are a joke to be in the tournament!
That would be a shame.
Gators lose
Miss State loses
Bama loses.
SEC having a bad first day . E(SEC)PN may cancel their CWS coverage.
….that would be Ole Miss, and not Miss. State (they play later tonight)….but same difference, MIss State probably lose too…hahhaha!!!
Just caught that. Having been stationed there in the Navy, there is a difference. Hope the Bulldogs lose to make my false reporting become true.
When I saw Florida get in with a 30-29 record, I immediately thought of the '08 defending champion Beavs denied at 4 games over .500 with a very tough schedule. I hate the f-ing SEC with a fury unknown to mankind!
A&M clawing their way back into this thing. 2 on and tying run at the plate.
A&M fan on espn blaming it on the pitching mound at Goss LOL.
UCSB wins. They'll make a good opponent when they meet the Beavs, but I'm thinking their pitching will drop off after their ace Pettibone (Pettibonehead's kid?) is done for the weekend.
Kansas state has only 18 runs so far vs Wichita St, currently in the 8th. 18-7
Where's JB when you need him, to explain his football strategy to help Wichita St. make up the deficit?
Using the old bats in this game?
They're not using pitchers. Hitting off the tee. 20-9 now
Was that due to some kind of NCAA penalty ruling?
G Tech loses to a lowly B1G team. Haha
Clemson loses to Liberty. ACC having a rough start also.
SEC and ACC getting roughed up, it actually brightens my weekend. Go figure. Go Beavs!
will there be a stream or tv for our game?
A few of the games are on espn3
Go Beavs!
ESPN 3 wants a password so I'm screwed, any other possibilities?
GO BEAVS!
I really get up for this time of year

Runners on the corners and 1 out for UTSA in the top of the 1st
RBI single. 1-0 UTSA
Is this on ESPN 3?
Yes.
I am watching on Espn3, I accessed it from the OSU website. try this
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/orst-ncaa-central.html
click "Watch"
missed call on Peterson's bunt, should b 1st and 2nd.
You can watch ESPN3 on xbox live too, but I'm not sure if you have to be a cable subscriber.
Consecutive singles by Hayes and Keyes with 1 out. Jake Rodriguez up
1-0 UTSA after 2 innings. Beavers are 0 for 4 with RISP.
Boyd finding his groove, throwing quickly and with high velocity. 2K's. Need to give him some run support!
Sounds like the Beavs are making good contact, just a matter of time till the runs will come. When they do the mo will swing quickly….IMHO.
1-0 UTSA after 3 innings
1-0 UTSA after 3 1/2 innings
Single, hit and run, walk, bases loaded no outs for Keyes.
Keyes hits into 4-6-3 DP, run scores, tie game.
J. Rod Ks, inning over, but at least it's tied up. Should've scored more, hopefully doesn't come back to bite us.
Beavers tie it on Keyes double play with bases loaded. 1-1 after 4 innings, Beavers now 0 for 6 with RISP
1-1 tie after 4 1/2 innings
Tied at 1 after 5 innings
swinging bunt and Boyd just late on throw to first, 2-1 UTSA. Nervous?
Yes, players can press…
2-1 UTSA after 5 1/2 innings
Sac Fly, Dylan Davis nice slide at home, 2-2.
3-3
Beavs look like crap
Beavs are on the ropes.
"How do you like the execution of your team?"
"I'm in favor of it."
I think Max likes these moments.
Max was great.
4-3
Beavs down 4-3 in the 8th
Pathetic performance.
pitching from the stretch?
Simms looks out of his element. Beavs have a chance.
Sims was asked to pitch too long in a game which was too big at a venue which was bigger than he was used to.
At that, the Beavs nearly made up for all the cards stacked against Sims. They didn’t force him to make as many pitches as they could have.
I don't like giving up an out when you have 3 left. Really dumb. Especially since they will walk Conforto now. What the hell
Excellent theory, that not giving up an out when ya only have three left. However, with Peterson's skills/record turning sac bunts into singles, he may be the exception which (generally) proves the rule.
Wow, not walking Conforto.
what?!! both pitches inside
gapper
miraculous
Or superior applied physics?
5-4 win
Davis huge double
Beavs win! Was there really any doubt? Davis RBI double gets in 2 walk off runs.
Great game. UTSA –great effort feel bad for them, hope they take out TA&M tomorrow.
True that.
*eaTme
Max was big in this to hold down fort. He's ice cold.
Leave it to Beavers to create their own drama….hand it to UTSA, they played hard and made us pay for our mistakes!
Go Beavs!!!
Certainly refreshing to hear Jim Wilson again. Tomorrow he'll be helping Jay Reese.
awesome win
Beavers played really poorly and found a way to escape with a win. Very lucky, but I'll take it. Dylan Davis is a beast, ridiculously clutch.
Will this turn out to be the poorest performance for the Beavs in the Regional and Super Regional?……….I believe so.
It better be!
Bgoph, thought you'd abandoned us when you failed to respond to locusimperium's comment at 4:45.
What a relief! Glad I didn't talk bad about UVA for their 1 run win over Army when we were ACC and SEC bashing. Boy, would my face have been red.
Wow. Deserved to lose this one. Feel bad for USTA……sort of. Davis has been money. Hopefully this gets some momentum going.
That was a stressful
Please let my home state Jackrabits beat the Quacks. It would make for a perfect night.
They're winning now.
Got the clutch hit they always seem to get.
Copycat ucks use a BB and HBP followed by a double to take the lead 3-2 in b8.
Bastards
I hate the atmosphere of this Duck game. Reminds me more of WWF than the NCAA…what disgusting fans (in general).
Turnbuckles and feather boas?
Man, what is with these Friday letdowns. Fortunately I tuned out in disgust after 8, so naturally we come back to win. But we gotta start playing better at the start of a weekend.
Texass A&M eliminates UTSA. Glad we wont have to face them again
comcast and espn3 sucks a fat one.
Barnes solo homerun 1-0 2nd inning
ESPN3 claims to have the game online, but when I click the link it's women's softball. WTF
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index
I know how to click the osu link. It's just going to a different game. Bizarre.
Now when I click it it's showing miss state baseball.
I didn't even go to OSU site, I Googled ESPN3 and went to that link. Glad it worked finally.
I'm watching it with no issues on ESPN3 at this link
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/958010/size/condensed/
UCSB is playing the Beavs pretty well. Hitting Moore's stuff better than I've seen most teams all year. Beavs bats haven't been very active other than a solo HR by Barnes in the 1st. 2-1 Gauchos
This worked thanks.
2-1 UCSB after 3 1/2 innings
2-1 UCSB after 5 innings
Goss needs one of these…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krazy_George_Henderson
Barnes ties it with a 2 out RBI single. Bases are loaded for Jake Rodriguez.
how was that not a strike? lol
Thanks for updates go Beavs. All I've got is an iPad today and I can't get any game coverage.
Sweet! I downloaded the TuneIn Ap on my iPad and searched for "KKNX". Radio 84. Now I've got the radio coverage. I don't have cable tv right now, so the espn ap has been useless to me without a signin.
Bases loaded and 1 out for Dylan Davis in the top of the 7th
Beavers now 2 of 15 with RISP this regional. 2-2 tie after 6 1/2 innings
Why does Casey always pass up bunting in a run that makes it 85-90% we win the game and the Regional for that matter? Instead of one win away we may have just pissed away the Super Regional. Especially with Moore pitching.
Beavs offense sucks worse than usual these first two games.
UCSB gaining confidence….
Might be Jake Rodriguez's worst game of the season. Having bad at-bats all game and not blocking pitches well behind the plate.
Peterson on again with a bunt single, 1 out in t9. Beavs need to score and avoid extra innings.
Peterson with a bunt single and Conforto HBP, runners on first and second and 1 out for Dylan Davis in the top of the 9th.
here we go again.. bases loaded 2 outs for hayes
not known for being choosey at the plate…well done Danny.
Hayes has really improved in his ability to stay away from bad pitches during his time at Corvallis.
I have been really impressed with the quality at bats late in games this reginol and past couple series.
Someone needs to bring a whoopie cushion into Beavs dugout this weekend to break the tension and loosen the guys up a little.
Casey was pretty mellow after last nights game, not what I expected. Wonder how he will assess the performance tonight what with 12 LOB (if Beavs get out of the ninth with the win).
This is Max's time.
He is surely picking up the slack for Schultz and Bryant. Hard to believe those two won't rebound soon and be the kind of factors most of us expected in the post-season.
Shultz has been crap his last two outings after being masterful the whole season.
True, hard to imagine his slump will continue. Presents a problem for Yeske, won't know if Schultz has recovered without putting him in a game.
Wonder, didn't Dallas Buck head for the fire lines about the time the BP began to have troubles?
I need a drink. Way too much suspense two nights in a row.
Ucks are visitors in Eugene, Rice pitcher perfect through t4, Rice with 4 hits through 3 innings leads 1-0.
Wonder if knowing the Beavs can't score makes the pitchers better….they know if they give up 3 it's game over. lol
By Jove, I think you've got it!
Must be why the big bucks come your way, Angry!
Another great finish! Great and disciplined at bats in the late innings for the Beavs. One more victory and it's on to the Super Regionals!
Glass half-full, a good way to approach life.
Especially if it is half full with a Belgian style beer.
Ok NOW we’re onto a topic I can relate to, Belgian beer.
Is the UCSB coach a potential replacement for Casey when he finally hangs it up?
The guy I would like to see become the next OSU baseball coach is Linfield's Scott Brosius. I don't care if pure-orange.net thinks he's an asshole or not. The guy can win!! Whoever it is though needs to be a good coach and can continue the success.
Baseball is a fickle game, hard line drives become outs, little dribblers become key hits….I'll take a couple of one run wins in a playoff situation anytime.
….and the Duckies keep winning without getting hits!!!!
Ducks 2 strikes away from losing to Rice
…..and Rice gets er done. Healy falls down on the last hit and the throw beats him to 1st easily.
Two hits for the ucks tonight; they've often combined that kind of performance with enough HBP's, BB's, WP's, and errors by the other side to come up with a victory. GB said their luck would run out, now they'll have to use pitchers #3 and 4 tomorrow if they are to get to a Monday game for the Super. Could happen.
Ducks and Rice? Sounds like something on a menu at a Chinese resturant.
ESPN got something right on their tournament selection show, when the hosts questioned the Ducks national seed more than once due to their lack of hitting. Also, I'm too lazy to find the link (on Oregon Live somewhere), but interesting article about the lack of attendance at PK Park for the regionals with the writer specualting it's due to Oregon's boring brand of baseball under Horton. Basic premise,one base at a time may be great for the purists, but it ain't gonna fly with Duck fan base who need instant gratification a la Football and to some extent Basketball.
I think it has more to do with the unwillingness of the large Portland fanbase to make the time comittment to either basketball or baseball. A two hour Thursday night basketball game becomes a seven hour slog and a baseball game… who knows, could be eight hours plus the possibility of freezing cold weather.
The population of Eugene simply doesn't have the affluence to soley support either basketball or baseball, with the least expensive tickets in the $15-20 range. JB
I really don't think Duck fans understand how big being seeded is…..they need to get to that park and make some noise if they want to stick around, because the bats "ain't doing it" for them….not that I want them to win, but at least they can represent the state and the PAC….my god!!!!

If they would change uniforms between innings the fans would show up in droves.
I was at the game and I have to say that Tyler Smiths play he made was one of the great plays I've seen. He needs to start hitting but his defense is top notch.
Nice job by the Beavs to escape with a win once again. I'll take 2 wins despite not playing well. However, Smith, Conforto and Rodriguez have got to start hitting. Just 2 of 23 in the regional combined, Jake is 1 for his last 18 overall. If the Beavers get those three going, they'll be extremely tough to beat.
Illini get screwed out of the tying run, getting it taken off the board on a very questionable call. Then proceed to have an epic meltdown in the last two innings. They should have beaten Vandy. Coach makes some really dumb decisions and players make some really boneheaded plays. Vandy can really swing the bats. Impressive line up that will make you pay for mistakes.
Bama closer has nightmare 9th and Troy knocks off Bama.
The NCAA committee made a mistake not putting Arizona in this thing….Ol Miss, Alabama, Florida, and Clemson look like shit!!!!….what about that team that got in with the losing record….anybody know how they are doing?
Texas A&M had a losing conference record if that's who you're referring to and they're up 4-0 over UC Santa Barbara in the 4th. Committee didn't really make a mistake, just the bubble teams this year are extremely weak and Stanford and Arizona didn't beat anybody, unfortunately.
If you mean Bowling Green, they of course lost their two games and have gone home. They won the MAC tournament, so that's how they got it. Kent St. who sent the Quacks home last year lost to BG in the championship game, but were the better team overall. That's the problem with a winner take all conference championship game, in one game anything can happen.
Ducks are on the ropes….and PK Park is, well….about 1/4 of capacity…WOW!

Okie State is using our TM'd interlocking OS on their baseball caps. WTF?
It's the same logo they used from about 1970 to 2000. I've pointed this out on more than one occasion. It's one reason (besides it being ugly) that I never liked the OS logo. It's just not original.
Well dammit!!!
The Rice game is blacked out on ESPN3. This sucks.
….me thinks UO called ESPN and would like to have their fans back…?
Rice game is now showing on ESPN3. Top of 3rd: Rice 0 Other 1.
Is Beavs game on tv?
Not on TV but streaming free here:
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/968743/size/condensed/
It's only "free" is one's internet provider is set up with Watch EPSN. Alas, mine is not…so I'm stuck with f-ing Gametracker!
Wetzler picks up where he left off last Sunday and allows an RBI triple with 1 out. 1-0 A&M
My least favorite Beav since "Krod"
KRod, oh I forgot about him! I have no beef wih Wetzler as long as he's on the mound for us. I would see not liking him though
Your least favorite beaver just got to 8-1 with about a 2.00 ERA.
That's great, but it doesn't mean I have to like the guy.
Infield single by Davis and a 1 out single by Barnes has runners on the corners with 1 out. Those two are absolutely raking right now.
Bases loaded and 2 outs for Max Gordon
Bunt in the damn run Casey. Guy on 3rd with 1 out you have to score.
Kayes didnt swing at any of those 3 strikes. With 2 on it seems like youve gotta try to get a run in rather than look for that walk. they better not strand runners all day again like they did yesterday. bases loaded now for Gordon with 2 down.
Gordon pops out..3 runner stranded again
this is getting ridiculous
Beavers now 3 of 20 with RISP in the regional. 1-0 Texas A&M after 1 1/2 innings
Piss poor management when the Regional can be safely won today. Stranding runners is getting old. You bunt and they may even mess up under the pressure. Regardless it is a sure run and then you try for more after that.
Casey was playing for the big inning and Keyes had been swinging it well of late. I think he made the right decision, just didn't work out how he liked.
Great pitching, great defense, TIMELY hitting. Haven't seen that yet today. Still early though.
They're 55th in defense. Not sure about 2 out hitting, but hitting overall they're 68th and seem to lack 2 out hits/clutch hits all year. Very confusing comment.
I should probably clairfy, those were the keys to winning baseball games from my high school coach. Timely hitting is the tricky one of the three because it's pretty arbitrary, my take on it is getting hits when you absolutely need it. And so far this regional we have a done a good job, but that first inning Wetzler was getting hit hard, Conforto misplayed a ball, and of course leaving men on base.
1-0 Texas A&M after 2 innings
Conforto singles and advances to 2nd on error with 2 down.
1-0 A&M after 2 1/2 innings
North Carolina lost FAU and play in a winner take all game tomorrow. Vanderbilt trailing 2-0 to Georgia Tech. A lot of national seeds not having a good day.
Time to break out the Rolaids again. Can we get ANY runs this weekend.
Not if you sac bunt all the time. You've got a f-ing aluminum bat in you hands man, swing the axe!
Rodriguez on 2nd with 1 out after a single and Max Gordon sac bunt
Beavers get a hit with a RISP and a runner gets thrown out at the plate. Two down.
Beavs send Rodriguez home and rf throws him out at the plate. Another missed opportunity
Peterson HBP. Runners on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs for Conforto.
maybe it's time for everyone to take a break from worrying about RISP and just let it all play out.
Beavers catch a major break as shortstop commits an error on a routine ground ball to short. Smith scores and it's tied at 1. Runners on the corners
Hey, the little white dot rolled into the dugout on my excellent Gametracker, am I correct in assuming the Beavs just scored on an Aggie error?
Yes you are
Thanks, now the 1 pops up. Gametracker is a little slow sometimes.
Conforto makes a baserunning mistake then misplays another ball in left for a double. Having a rough night and rough regional.
What a grab!!
Great play by A&M shortstop. Damn.
Max Gordon makes yet another great catch and keeps the game tied at 1 after 5 innings
sun clearly a factor tonight
Runners on first and second and 2 outs for Max Gordon
open it up Beavs so I can go do some other stuff.
Surprised Casey didn't go with Day in that spot. Gordon flies out and it's still tied at 1 after 5 1/2 innings
Wetzler struggled with his control in the 6th but gets out of the jam. 1-1 after 6 innings
Andy Peterson is making big time plays today.
I'll take Jim Wilson's word for Petersons bunting ability………the best!
Back-to-back singles by Smith and Peterson have runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs for Conforto
Dylan is smoking the ball….just right at people.
Here we go. Great at bat!
Danny Hayes comes through with the huge hit the Beavers have desperately neded. Two out two run double makes it 3-1 Beavers
Needed*
Another thing on Peterson, he is a smart and fast baserunner! Scores on Hayes 2 RBI double. Beavs up now, 3-1
Got to love his RBI slide earlier.
3-1 Beavers after 6 1/2 innings
why are Beavs visiting team again?
Coin flip.
Wetzler throws a lot of pitches to finally strike out the side in the b7, if recent history holds he'll not see more than two batters in the 8th. Will Yeske call on Max?
I'm thinkin' he'll try Bryant, cross fingers.
Max or Jace Fry. Bryant is an adventure. He'll either look great or put a couple guys on base.
Wetzler gets out of another jam. 3-1 Beavers after 7
Jake Rodriguez on base for a 4th time tonight with his 2nd single. 1 out for Gordon
Never happen, but how creative would it be to put Hendrix in to run for JRod. Espo has shown good D, but bringing him in cold is not at all likely.
How 'bout that, Wetzler a pretty easy 1-2-3 inning. On to the ninth, still Beavs up 3-1
Peterson to lead off the Beavs t9.
3-1 Beavers after 8 innings. Wonder if Casey sends Wetzler out for the CG in the ninth
Conforto doubles with 1 out and Davis is up
Seems not so long ago we watched Hayes go through a slump, now he comes around with 3 RBI's today and great performances lately.
His RBI single here makes it 4-1 Beavs with runners on 2 and 3, one out for Barnes.
Davis HBP, then a passed ball and Hayes follows up with an RBI and moves up to 2nd. Runners on second and third and 1 out for Ryan Barnes. 4-1 Beavers
Ryan Barnes stays hot and drives Davis in with an RBI single. 5-1 Beavers and runners on the corners with 1 out
Barnes an RBI single, coach Jenkins getting a bit more conservative here has held last two runners at third.
Keyes singles and it's 6-1 Beavers
Wetzler the CG, 4 hitter!
Wetzler finishes off the complete game and the Beavers win 6-1 and advance to the super regionals
K-State wins, so the Beavers will be hosting Kansas State in the super regionals
Go Beavs!!!
Screw K-State, I've been waiting a long, long time for some Rolando Blackman payback!
Haha. Very good point!
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/06/03/pac-12-limiting-contact-football/2384731/
Pac 12 to set new rules in July which will limit the amount of full contact practices the teams can conduct each week. Wonder how this will help/hurt recruiting if it's not a policy adopted by every conference? You have to think some players would like the limited contact and the toll it takes on their bodies over the course of a career, but teams will have a hard time adjusting to full speed in game situations if they don't practice the game the way it's played.
I'm all for protecting the players, but at what point does it turn into flag football?
It's flag football when the only game is on Thanksgiving, and the players are all 50 lbs. overweight and full of Bud Light.

Rice takes a 3-0 lead after their half of the 1st and then give two back as the ducks plate two on a dropped pop fly, a walk, a single and a blown DP ball.
Rice now up 6-2 with runners on the corners in the top of the third. I'd be pretty surprised if Oregon came back.
Who knows who is going to be pitching before this one is over. Owls started their closer. 7-3 end of 3.
8-3 Rice with two outs and runners at 1 and 2, t5.
Listening to these uck announcers should make even the most ardent Mike Parker critic think twice!
Bum…bum…bum…another one bites the ducks.
FAU with a grand slam in the t9 to take a 8-6 lead
FAU has two dingers in the t9 when they were down 6-2 entering the 9th and leave their half with an 8-6 lead. FAU closer gives up a leadoff double and single to put the winning run at the plate for UNC with nobody out.
Absolutely insane comeback by FAU. Didn't see that coming at all. UNC of course comes back to tie it.
Both teams go with their best pitcher but man are they tired.
8-3 Rice after 6 complete, Rice closer still in, he has faced only 10 batters in the last 3 innings.
UNC and FAU tied at 8 going into top 11
8-4 Rice after 7 complete, Rice ace comes in to relieve their closer and get the final out.
Another bomb by FAU and they take a 3 run lead.
Game is insane.
Yep, heels get the tying run to the plate with nobody out in b12
ducks say "O"wl!
Still 8-4 Rice, after 8 complete. Sherfy pitching, came on for the last out in the t8.
heels get an RBI walk and the winning run at 1b,, sacks juiced and nobody out. Another RBI walk and the winning run at 2b with nobody out
single for the heels ties the game but winning run out at the plate. heels with 2 out. and a man on.
Sherfy gives up a 2 RBI triple with two outs in the t9, then follows with an RBI double making it 11-4 Rice. Announcers are "shocked" to see Sherfy being hit like this.
They didn't watch the civil war series, obviously.
Looks like the ucks forgot to WTD…
Fortunately baseball isn't a sport that can be infected by read option stupidity.
"WTD" = What They Deserve
After a DP in the b9 the ucks announcers are still refering to the situation as a mini-rally!
Payne grounds out to end it, Rice wins 11-4 on 15 hits.
Ducks are eliminated and I can honestly say they "deserved it".
They didn't win a series against a ranked team all year and they thought they deserved a National Seed?
The NCAA committee were the only ones who thought Oregon deserved a national seed
unc wins in 13, 12-11.
Heck of a game! A real knock down drag out.
North Carolina got very luck. If FAU's closer wasn't so worn down, FAU probably advances. I'm a lot higher on teams like LSU, Virginia and Louisville than I am on UNC.
Feel bad for FAU. Those homers were awesome. Pitching depth is critical in theses series.
Saturday – Monday for the Super Regional. Just saw on twitter
Beaver Baseball @Beaver_Baseball 4s
Beavers open the Super Regional Saturday at 4 p.m. Game 2 is Sunday at 7 p.m. and gm 3 is 4 p.m. All on ESPNU.
A Monday game, really? Could they make it more difficult to attend these games? WTF is wrong with a double header on either Sat or Sun?
Jason, you going to the football season opener?
I'm going to miss the opener against Eastern Washington. The Flat Tailgaters are taking it on the road to the Bend area instead that Labor Day weekend.
You making the trip?
Considering it or the second game.
Why didn't they consult with you before scheduling this? THE NERVE!!
I guess if Goss is going to be sold out whether it's a Sunday or Monday then to the school and team it really doesn't make a difference. But if they're thinking of their fans then it's just common sense.
All the games are across 3 days. ESPN probably plays a role as they may dislike question marks in the same day of programming.
Really a shame about the Ducks LOL.
