Tough two series to end the season. Anyone have confidence in Mitch rallying the boys? We need to at least break even vs these two top 15 programs. 4-2 would be a win. I think 2-4 is the most likely outcome.

I’m putting this up early due to obligations later this week. Feel free to go general until the weekend.

It’s been an up and down year for Mitch, and I think poorly of him for that decision not to walk the bases loaded, but with a .667 winning percentage this year, he’s right at Casey’s career mark (though, Casey’s final teams when he left were much higher). Someone asked what OSU standards are these days. 2 out of 3, as always. Casey nailed that for decades and established it. Mitch is meeting it as of today, though he’s been more shaky than Pat.
In other news, Vidlak looked great in his early throws in the scrimmage. He looked poor later in the game. It’s hard to say why given the footage. Smooth and looked mentally ahead of where most would expect as a freshman. Anyone go to the scrimmage and have more data?
Go Beavs? A program in decline…Oregon ranked #11 and OSU now not even ranked. Need a sweep here. Minimum 2 of 3. I don’t have faith in Canham managing well enough to get that done. Hope to be wrong. To me this seems like Ralph Miller transitioning to Anderson right before our eyes.
On a side note, OSU should never hire anyone named Anderson/Andersen.

Let’s go general until the weekend, though I think the focus will remain on Mitch and baseball. The Spring game and what you’re looking for there also in play. Feel free to go completely off topic, though.
Go Beavs.
Schedule for the weekend is as follows. UCLA says TV can be found here. We’ll see.

May 1 (Sat) 6:00 PM Away UCLA Los Angeles, CA
May 2 (Sun) 12:00 PM Away UCLA Los Angeles, CA
So Mitch came back from a disastrous loss and beat up on a far inferior opponent. That’s what is expected of OSU baseball, so a bit of a nothing burger, but it’s better than the alternative.
UCLA looks to be on par with us, so this is going to give a gauge where we actually are two-thirds through the season. I’m willing to change on Mitch as he changes. If he can learn the basics of managing in-game and players (instead of being their psychologist, be their leader), then I will change.
