OSU at Arizona State

360

Conference play begins today. The Beavs are 28-46 all time vs ASU, so this is always a tough series. 2 of 3 would be success.

I don’t have any insight into this game or series because I haven’t scouted ASU.

But from an individual perspective, a player I am worried about is Gabe Clark–he was disastrous in conference play last year. If Casey insists on hitting him cleanup it’s cause for concern, as he could be a rally-killer in that slot. Jim Wilson mentioned Clark likes the new ball. Maybe, and maybe that’s transformed him as a hitter, but like Thomas, I have to see it to believe it. That starts today.

6:30pm via stream. The next two games will be on pac-12 network.

Beavs Chances in the Pac-12 Tournament

Curious to hear opinions on how far the Beavs will go. I think they will beat CO, then the Oregon game is tough but winnable. IMO the Beavs have the easiest path of any lower seed.  The right side of the bracket kind of sucks. Utah and Oregon are both way overrated.

Here’s the bracket.

I think UCLA or ASU can upset Arizona, too, which could make this thing wide open. I’m cautiously optimistic they can make this interesting. I’m going bold here and saying they beat CO and Oregon. As soon as people buy in to the Cinderella story (and thus puts pressure on them), they lose to Utah/Stanford.

Says they look like a team day 1 not day 3. Rips on the guys for not being mentally strong, pre-snap awareness, etc.

Rips Mamma Machado and her softball question “who won the day today” with “were you at practice?”. Great stuff.

It’s going to be hard to shake the Riley out of these players. Poor Nebraska.
