That Stanford result was my fear: Mitch lays an egg in his first real challenge of the season. Beating up on inferior competition until then.

USC is a decent team, so taking 2 of 3 would be acceptable and get the team back on track. 1 of 3 or worse would be a disaster, as would anything but out-athleting Portland.

Go Beavs!

Midweek vs Nevada Tuesday and Wednesday, and then Stanford this weekend. Stanford should be a good series and the best test so far. Need to go 2-0 vs Nevada and then hopefully 2-1 vs Stanford.

Feel free to go off topic and discuss Spring football or the Spring Game April 16th.

Go Beavs!

The ASU series went as expected for me with the Beavs going 2-1. Acceptable, but ideally you don’t like feast or famine from an offense. Law of averages, I guess. They’re averaging 9.8 runs per game, but I’d like to see that average attained more consistently rather than boom and bust.

Is there any reason, other than Mitch ;), we shouldn’t win the next four games?

Anyone notice that Mitch paid a visit to the mound late in the loss to GCU? A first?
Bet he shared thoughts similar to this quote from the GT: “Our biggest thing is conviction and knowing you can dominate as opposed to hoping, … there’s obviously work to be done there. They know it. I know it. So that’s what we’re going to do is work.”

So, is that the biggest thing? Have he and Dorman shown you that they’re on the right track?

How ’bout the series this weekend vs ASU? Is a sweep the minimum we should expect? Before you answer, remember it’s a HOME series. And consider these #s, ASU(OSU):
SOS 69(38)……….RPI 149(12)………..winning %  44(80)

But, yeah, the true test is how the team is playing at the end of May.

Still, it’s often pointed out that good teams win the games they are supposed to.  There are tougher games ahead, and on the road.
