Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

OSU vs. Texas A&M (Again) Open Thread

Game 55 - Oregon State vs. Texas A&M - 12 PM PT - Video and Audio Links TBA

As the 2006 and 2007 Oregon State Beavers showed, anything can happen when you get into the post-season. Anything.    

The Beavers will be playing in their 55th game of the season today. It could be their last, or they could play ten more. 

We're at the point of the season where the Beavers need to choose what path they're going to take. Someone can step up and take this team onto their shoulders and lead them off into Super Regionals and to Omaha, or the team could call it a year and head back to Corvallis.

In this win-or-go-home elimination game today, the Beavers are going to need stellar pitching and at least some offense to stymie the Aggies for the second time of the weekend.

First pitch is at 12 PM PT.

We’re at the point of the season where the Beavers need to choose what path they’re going to take. Someone can step up and take this team onto their shoulders and lead them off into Super Regionals and to Omaha, or the team could call it a year and head back to Corvallis.

We’re at a crucial point, no doubt, but it is funny in that I’ve been thinking about it all this morning and I don’t think the A&M game needs yet for that one player (or couple players) to step up. I think it can be won more with a solid team effort. Where I think the leader needs to really step up and the team needs to get a killer instinct top to bottom is if we do win and have to play TCU tonight.

I think that this A&M game can still be won with a “regular” 2009 squad performance. Now by “regular” I mean a very good performance, but I think when the team will need to absolutely find their leadership and identity will be if they play TCU again. TCU is the host and is playing very well, and we will not get out of this Regional with “regular” 2009 play. The team will then need to crank it up to that next level.

Hope that makes sense! By no means am I saying I don’t want to see someone step up (Ryan where are you?) against A&M for that would be awesome and could go a LONG way, but not sure it is 100% essential quite yet. I at the least want the team to show some heart and bounce back, and of course win this game.

I will add on here

That in no way am I looking past A&M. This game is going to be very difficult to win, indeed I actually see this game as a 50/50 split of who can win and both OSU and Texas A&M have an equal chance to win this game, and as such I’m pretty nervous for our chances.

Agreed

It would be wonderful to see the Beavs come out and play a dominating game against A&M. That would help set the tone for the rest of the weekend. I have my fingers crossed.

Go Beavs!!

I will be disappointed with an exit in the regionals.

I think that this team is capable of being one of the top 16 teams in the country, and a loss to Texas A&M today, with no chance for redemption after that poor performance yesterday would really rub salt in the wound of this year, a year that showed so much promise early on.

I know

We were 22-7 going into the USC series and then everything fell apart. At times we’d get back on track (ASU series) but then we’d lose some more.

USC, UCLA, WSU, UW all lost series
ASU won. That doesn’t make any sense at all. This team is so hard to watch. Losing 4 of the last 5 series, but beating arguably one of the top teams in the country. I wish we would just be consistent— either consistently good or consistently bad. But this not knowing who’s going to step up nonsense is really draining

USC = Kind-of made sense, they were pretty hot team when we played them, so I chalked that one up to timing in the schedule (like getting UA early was nice when they were really struggling), but yes at home though should have taken that one 2 games to 1.

UCLA = No idea what happened in this series.

WSU = Could’ve/Should’ve won the series, and again at home, but they are a pretty good team this year. WSU, along with USC, seem to have our number of late too.

UW = This one frustrated me the most, no reason to lose like we did that second game and no reason to have lost the third game. At least this should’ve been a series win, if not a sweep by the Beavs (IMO), but ended up the opposite.

Yep, pretty hard season to watch, some great ups and draining downs. But 2007 was this way too, just different, in the ups and downs. But at least then we had people step up.

Oh, yes, don’t get me wrong. Should’ve won that series.

But if we play the what if, and if we won the UCLA and UW series like we very much should have then that WSU series loss doesn’t loom over us as much. But yes it added up to be a very frustrating end of the year. I’m VERY much there with the both of you on this one!

I disagree a bit with Parker here

In his critiquing Santos not looking more. I think they need to keep it aggressive, now it is about gaining momentum and getting an attitude. I like it.

-RVM

by rvm on May 31, 2009 1:05 PM PDT reply actions  

Yeah but to defend Parker a little bit

I think the philosophy after a pitching change is to see pitches and work the count. Santos may have been sitting on a pitch there (say, outside fastball or whatever “his” pitch is). If Santos got just the pitch he was looking for, the coaches should have no problem with it. But I think he should have been picky in that situation.

nah

Maybe in a closer game and not after a game where the batting was tentative at best. They are feeling it, let them swing away a little more.

Just my opinion, they need to break out of the passive attitude if they want to move on. But again if it is like a 6 to 4 and that was an inning ending play like that it would be a different story.

And I thought Casey echoed that in his post-game press conference. He really didn’t give their pitcher a whole lot of credit, becasue it was more the Beaver hitters not playing well than that pitcher (Winkler) having great stuff. I just felt that he was “okay”.

I talked to TCU’s Sports Information director, and she told me that TCU really doesn’t have a bonafide ace this year. Much like Oregon State really. When you think about it, (and Parker said this yesterday), this team is just a lot of really good #2 guys. Nobody (except for Gaviglio as of late) has stepped up as an ace.

I love this lineup

We’ve got to keep it for tonight’s game.

I miss CV3000

It will be intersting to see

I think Casey likes to switch things up depending on who is hot and whatnot. But if it’s don’t broke, don’t fix it.

Did we have any double headers this year?

And if so, what were the results?

We finished up half a game and then played a full one against Missouri State

We lost the first one 5-3, and then the second one 4-2.

How long do you think Reyes stays in?

Dont’ see any reason to switch things up, yet. Not sure of his pitch count, though.

Wonder if he could. Give us 2 innings?

Interesting, but I doubt its possible. Maybe if the game was RIGHT after this one. But after his short layoff his arm is going to be dead

He's not playing tomorrow, so keep him going as long as he is performing

And his pitch count can't be that high

He’s pitched a solid game

With this lead safe, I think the worst thing we can do is drag it on in the heat by hitting well

Let’s just keep pitching well, and get out of this thing. Hard to tell a D1 athlete to not hit well however

Yeah it's like what do you do

Kinda (not really) like what happened to Georgia when they won 24-6 the other day, then were elminated by the team they beat

Poor Boston College

Plays the game of their life against arguably one of the top teams in the country, only to lose because they played so well

They would have been better off just losing. It’ll be interested to see what happens in Army-Texas tonight

But Texas WILL be tired

That is guaranteed. But I agree, they won’t lose to Army twice. But if Army wins tonight, who knows. It becomes a one game series. Plus Jake, you know we have the Regional God’s on our sides (Stanford beating Texas 3 years ago, Michigan beating Vandy)
