Beavs travel to Pullman to face the RPI 156 Cougs, any chance they are caught looking ahead to the Stanford series?
And, who is gonna take Gambrell’s spot as Sunday starter?
Friday and Saturday 5pm starts, noon Sunday. All on WSU livestream: http://pac-12.com/live/washington-state-university
Feel free to discuss mailroom fiasco’s, Riley’s use of twitter, Scott Barnes talents, or whatever pleases ya.
GO BEAVS
Or 5 year old son.
I mean, listen to this.
Holy cow his is going to be bad, and we have Scott Barnes, Jon Smith, and Ed Ray to thank. That video is so terrifying it’s time to name names and hold all these people accountable…as well as the old guard.
Heard from my source over the weekend the “Top Brass” are officially questioning Tinkle.
Sounds like the end might be near since this season gives little reason for optimism. The scarier notion is having Scott Barnes hiring a basketball coach.
Beavs return to Goss and great weather! Little wind and temps not likely to drop below 50 even late in the games.
Games Thur,Fri,Sat all on PAC12 Net.
Whoreton’s boys are 1-4 over their last five contests, Beavs are a somewhat Jeckel-n-Hyde 3-2 over the same span.
Plenty of questions:
>Will Nick rejoin the lineup?
>Has Larnach hit his stride at the plate?
>Which set of arms, solid or mediocre, will show up?
>Will Mark Buchanan return to Goss? How many contraband candy bars will be confiscated?
GO BEAVS!
Yes, turnaroundS (plural), opportunity this weekend to see turnarounds in Baseball, Football, and maybe even MBB.
MBB: Damn Straight, Tinkle could make news about plans to fill out his roster. BTW, as Quatre pointed out in the last thread, not much turnaround needed for WBB as Rueck has produced another 1st round draft pick, Marie the last pick of the first round in the WNBA draft.
FOOTBALL: Practice Saturday in Beaverton/Sherwood is open to the public and weather should be OK. A chance to see Smith’s staff in action, and to see the media’s response. Players will be available for autographs, is this a good idea?
BASEBALL: Doubleheader Friday (9am start-pacific) in Springfield Missouri with third game scheduled for Saturday. Odd schedule to set up for the series vs nike which begins next Thursday.
Missouri State Bears are not to be overlooked, ranked 10 spots below the Beavs at #19 by D1, the Bears have an RPI of 50** (Beavs 15). Bears are similar to Beavs of old: hitting .252 but with an OBP of .371, and with an ERA of 3.24, they are 22-8 for the season. You have to go back 14 games to find 3 losses/Beavs have lost three of the last 6. Any doubt a turnaround is needed?
Weather is likely to be a factor, thunderstorms and 20mph winds blowing out to left are forecast. Hammons field is natural grass and same dimensions as Goss EXCEPT only 315 down LF line. Nolan’s computer has the Beavs on the short end of 5-4 scores for all three games; beavergopher says he won’t let that happen……smart $ on the rodent-man!
Oh yeah, will Nick Madrigal see the field? How ’bout Kevin Abel?
**Bears were RPI 41 prior to their 2 run loss Tuesday to U of Missouri (RPI 28, now 26).
AAANND — A COUPLE AREAS WHERE A TURNAROUND IS ESPECIALLY UNLIKELY:
1-Scott Barnes is unlikely to stop looking for candy bars brought into events by frugal fans.
2-Larry Scott is unlikely to improve the PAC12 Network fiscal situation.
