Sunday Weather Forecast

We need a sweep of Pacific to even be considered by the NCAA selection committee, which means we NEED to get today's game in. At my house in the Portland area we're been getting rained on for about the last half hour, but in Corvallis, it looks like they're taking batting practice with no problems:

Various weather forecasts are calling for a "chance of light showers", which basically means we could be in for a wet game. The coaches know this is an important game, so they'll have a greater rain tolerance today. Hopefully the outfield grass as well as the mound and plate areas hold up and allow us to get the game in.

Not good.

If you listened or watched yesterday's game, you'll remember that as the rain started to fall the Beavers started to go downhill. Hopefully the Beavers can play well through the rain today and hold off Pacific.

South is looking so-so right now

Eugene looks to be much like the web cam in Corvallis and not bad. But thunderstorms are tricky for that could mean something big blows in or could mean it completely misses.

Hit and miss! Wow ain’t that the story of the year now with baseball, so figures we would throw in the weather to make us even more nervous.

Selection committee = I agree…but noticing that the Beavs are creeping up in the Pac-10 a little with how the games have gone this weekend.

Today has already been a bad day for us around the country.

Many tournaments aren’t going as planned… it will eliminate the amount of bubble teams that get in, which lowers our chances immensely. Not good.

Dang

Well, guess we will have to see if business is taken care of today and then wait…shoot going be tough, if only that game or if only that series…can’t second guess now though.

But interesting point brought up in the broadcast in that the Beavs had what four games canceled this year on them? The implication was that could help the cause, not so sure myself could hurt too. Strange and frustrating year.

I don't see how that helps the cause

To me that means we could have picked up four more wins to make our record look better. If those teams had lower RPI’s than us, maybe the Selection Committee will give us the benefit of the doubt. But I doubt that the cancelled games will help us.

I agree, I think

I couldn’t quite tell what the central point was when they were talking about it, but I think they were saying it would have got us to 30 wins which would help. But you know to me that seems to be second guessing a bit too much, but if the point was that the committee would now consider it I doubt it (like you). If it was second guessing than sure 30 wins would have helped the cause.

Hmm, hope that makes sense.

Guess my personal point was it was an interesting fall back they talked about and again for me emphasized how up and down this season has been. And how tough of a schedule it became for the team playing tough teams, getting pushed and beat by weaker teams, and then the whole squeezed in schedule and snow and rain! Without strong leadership this all made it so hard to get anything going. Guess I wasn’t thinking really about the selection committee.
