Baseball Open Thread and Poll: at UCLA, Game 2

2958434_medium

via grfx.cstv.com

Here is today's game information:

Game Time:  2 p.m. PT.
Pitching: RHP: Greg Peavey (3-2, 3.94) versus expected RHP: Trevor Bauer (6-3, 2.64)

Go Beavs!


Some thoughts:  Okay, Friday's game was not a good one and now the Beavs are 1 and 3 for the last four games and the conference losses are starting to creep up to the wins.

So, now the optimism that is so key for RVM is starting to slowly fade.  Now don't get me wrong, I know there is a good amount of season left and we have ASU and WSU at home and I still think post-season is going to happen, but the offense just is not producing like it was and Waldron's performance was not a good one.  Now I know USC and UCLA both have a ton of talent, but to me these last three losses have been easily winnable for the Beavs team we saw earlier in the season.

So here is my poll:

Poll
How important is this UCLA series for the Beavers to win?
Very! This series will be the difference between a great and good year.
9 votes
Important, but we still have enough baseball to go to turn things around.
7 votes
Somewhat, but I think RVM is much too flip-flopping and should get back to being the optimist because we are still going to Omaha.

What's the scouting report on Peavey?

What pitches does he throw and what’s his fastball like?

It’s a beautiful day here today, but the wind is supposed to be blowing 10-15 mph out to center, right center so it could be a high scoring affair.

sorry

just joined up on the board at the end of the game.

Hope you got your answer at the game about Peavey. Sounded a bit shaky for him at times but at least kept it close to for our bats to win it in the end.

Going to be a good one tomorrow!

Big time

let’s go, three outs

Casey ejected, down one, and big time changes in the 9th to the line-up and up now 2.

If we hold on can go to tomorrow fresh and tied 1-1 in the series, and ASU lost today.

Hosting hopes still alive

They’re still hanging on by a thread, but I think they would have been gone if we had lost.

by ConnorOSU on Apr 25, 2009 6:35 PM PDT reply actions  

going to be tough

Not an easy schedule to finish on, but on the flip side playing the tougher (higher placed) teams does allow the Beavs to control quite a bit of their destiny.

I agree about if we lost today, and have to win tomorrow too for we need this series in a bad way to really think about hosting.
