Baseball: Beavs vs Abilene Christian

172

The four game series gets underway at 5:35 today. All games can be seen on the school produced stream.

How’d the Beavs end up with this series?  Lundeberg at the GT has a piece which explains.  An excerpt: “When I found out we had the bye this weekend, I just got on the phone and started calling everyone,” said associate head coach Pat Bailey, who handles the team’s scheduling. “I hope as long as I’m here, we never have the late bye again.”

Should be great weather, GO BEAVS!

Tyner/O-Line/General Thread

8

Angry’s still out and the last post was nearing 300 comments, so thought I’d put up a clean new general thread.

Will have a separate thread for the baseball series so that doesn’t get cluttered with off topic conversation.

Something interesting I read from Sedge today was the possibility of Tyner playing for 2 years at Oregon State, as he applies for a medical hardship.  Wouldn’t that be something if he played for Oregon State this year and then grad transferred back to Oregon for his final season?

Also football related, it feels like the glaring hole on offense right now is a starting caliber offensive lineman for the right side.  We currently have 13 guys on the roster, and GA mentioned wanting to bring in one more guy this summer. Seems like grad transfer would be the likely route to make that happen, but who is currently available?

Feel free to talk about whatever you want if football bores you…

Hey Beavlettes, I will be gone (for business, not pleasure, unfortunately) the entire week starting tonight.

Try to behave and all that. OldBeavs and NiceBeav, feel free to make any topic you wish while I’m gone. If the spam protectors blocks anyone, sorry, but I won’t be able to approve you until Saturday morning.

Go Beavs.

Civil War Baseball – series thread

You can bet all those of the toilet seat persuasion and particularly Coach Horton are hoping the weather cooperates. Their only shot at post season is a decent performance.

Horton: The Rich Man’s Mike Riley?
As someone said, it would be nice if uncle phil keeps him around. He’s beatable (despite recent years) and certainly not a threat in the PAC overall. Similar to MR, he comes across as likeable, and inept.
Horton says, “the Beavs are on a mission” in a piece in the GT (link below). Didya know he too, was snubbed? Happened back in ’91 and that team, CalFull, has gone to the post season 25 consecutive times since the snub.

Keys to the series are pretty straightforward; Beavs pitchers need to avoid HBP, WP, and minimize BB. Hitters need to be aggressive vs the good starting arms of the little sisters.

FEHMEL: Important story here; who takes his place and, as significant, what is his role going forward?

Two wins clinches the PAC Crown AND gets #1000 for Casey, warts and all, lol.
