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.
Goooooo Beavs.
Series begins tomorrow, but I’ll keep this thread up all week. If anyone can find TV for these please share in the comments.
Given the schedule so far, 7-0 is the start I’d expect if we’re still an elite program, so they have simply met expectations. Good job there. Jury still out on Mitch. Won’t know until we’re deeper in the PAC schedule if he’s improved or not. Watching games will help with that, too. Radio relies too much on the broadcaster’s opinion, which could be biased or simply unobservant. I didn’t hear any major managerial errors in the few hours I had to listen.
Seattle should be an easy win, so 8-0 is the expectation. Irvine being a CA school always has some legit players, though they don’t appear to be very good this year off to a 4-3 start. First tougher matchup on the schedule. 2 out of 3 is the expectation there. Let’s see if Mitch can meet them.
Go Beavs.
Gotta like our chances to start 7-0.
Go Beavs!
