UC Irvine Post Game Thoughts – Canham is a Mess

140

Why is everyone okay with Mitch?

I literally had a few minutes all weekend to catch the Beavs, so I tuned in today to watch extra innings. That lasted only about ten minutes because Canham chose to draw in infield in rather than walk the bases loaded and setup the DP. There are so many ways to score a run in that situation that the obvious call is to walk the bases loaded and take your shot with a force at home, strikeout, or the DP. Way better odds on than what he did.

Why are Beaver fans okay with Mitch?

Why is there not outrage over such horrible managing?

Will the media ask tough questions and start to question this guy, or are they going to do the “he’s learning on the job”, “he’s one of us” and all that biased crap?

Mitch has a much needed winning streak going. Some pressure off him for now. This is going to be a tough series with the “Anteaters” being 22-11 and historically very good. “Anteaters” has to be the worst name in history, btw.

It looks like the game will be on ESPN here. That’s the only telecast I’m finding.

It seems like Mitch is finally showing is warts, as is Joe Casey. Time is the great equalizer, as they say…

CW Baseball and FB recruiting news from NiceBeaver

252

Weekend series in Eugene with all games on PAC12 net, odd starting times beginning at 7pm Friday. Top that with breaking recruiting news from Nicebeav and we’ve got plenty for a new thread.

As always, thanks to NiceBeav for his work on recruiting and thanks to Bill for the following:

Obviously a huge series vs Oregon. If they can win the series, it will go a very long ways with the postseason. Oregon has a really high RPI at the moment.

Road wins are valued very high in the RPI calculations. Beavs somehow are suffering their worst losses at home which are compounded in the RPI. The one loss vs Utah dropped them about 10 spots in the RPI. Luckily Gonzaga is playing decently this year.

So a road series win vs a top RPI team could save them in the end if they don’t finish strong.

It’ll be a theme all year but they need to score runs for Abel. And he needs to help by not walking or hitting so many guys.

GO BEAVS

Spring Football, Tinkle’s contract, and A Turning Point for Baseball?

244

Utah thread getting stale and we’ll want a fresh one for the CW next weekend.
So meantime, lets use this one for Spring FB and the 2 non-con baseball games vs that basketball school, Gonzaga. And Tinkle.

1) Spring FB set to start Tuesday, word is Smith will allow reporters some access to practices, what do y’all think of this?
2) What’s taking so long with Tinkle’s reward?
3) Is it critical for the Beavs to start a new winning streak Monday?
GO BEAVS !
