No commentary here on the NCAA Div 1 regional baseball tournament? The Beavers did very well to get to a showdown with LSU on Monday with their very limited pitching staff and weather delays. It was painful to watch those middle relievers with the 5.0+ ERAs try to get through a powerful LSU lineup. They could not get it done. But they did manage to beat Sam Houston State two games, patching things together with some surprising innings from a couple of higher ERA pitchers. That should help next year. The hitters were clutch as they always are. Again, this is the best hitting Beavs team in modern memory and it was wasted for lack of pitching. I did not watch the Ducks games but they cruised through the playoffs as you would expect for a team which has had less injuries. The center of gravity for Pac12 baseball is now two wet weather programs only 40 miles apart
Nice back handed jab at Ducks...."less injuries". Cruised through the playoffs?? You did not watch you said......Ducks are far from a great team but I would have been all for both Beavs and Ducks moving on to the SR. Ducks had to beat a strong SEC #5 Vandy to get to the SR. Beavs a young team with great expectations. All this from a guy who was complaining in February when the Ducks were higher ranked than the Beavers in a meaningless pre season baseball poll. Just a few positive thoughts and accolades would be great from you.........
Didn't watch the Ducks (since I was watching the Beavers) but read the game reports. Yep, it would have been great to have them both in the CWS. Maybe it will happen in the near future. Coach Canham has to improve his pitcher recruiting. He really hasn't found any gems since he started as coach, but the hitting is better since then. Coach Casey always found a few pitching gems, like Matt Boyd (current MLB), Luke Heimlich (MiLB), Drew Rasmussen (current MLB), Kevin Abel (MiLB) and Jake Mulholland (Independent League) to go with hitters like Adley Rutschman (a future HoFer if he stays healthy)
you just can't get over yourself...First of all Fella, Oregon is using 11...count em, 11 freshmen pitchers...Oregon lost 2 starters and 1 reliever to injuries, all of their upperclassmen and top arms...yet they are where they are and OSU isn't. It's called coaching AND RECRUITING. they go hand in hand. You might be better received here if you watered down your hatred for Oregon and tried to show just a little less bias. Your posts remind me of the USc troll.
"Fella"?! LOL...what are you 99 years old? It is YOU who can't get over yourself. I said nothing about the Ducks ages. Obviously, they have good pitching (btw...Kevin Abel was a freshman when he carried the Beavs to a CWS Championship; youth actually can help). That was my entire point. The Beavs need better pitching. Congrats!
Abel was mis-used by Casey and killed his career. And that's all you've got, criticism of my use of fella? I'd have used something a little more disparaging, but I figured my point of your hatred and bias against oregon in every post was enough.
Thank God the Beavers did not draw Vanderbilt! I couldn't stand to watch those games with the Vandy Whistler there. But clearly the Ducks got the easier draw. But the bigger issue is why no regionals on the West Coast? Only 1? and 8 (eight) SEC teams as hosts? And why no Arizona State in the tournament? I am pretty disgusted also that the Beavers were forced to play 3 games in 24 hours, potential starting a 4th with that 2nd game going past midnight. Horrible! That is very tough on the arms and risk of injury is increased. I don't think the NCAA has the best interests of the athletes health in mind. Pretty disgusted with the whole thing at this point.

In the Duck blind.
