PrintComing off their first ever win in Safeco Field last night, the Beavers will travel over to Husky Ballpark on the campus of the University of Washington to play the Huskies in Game 2 of the series.
The Beavers built a comfortable 6-0 lead in last night’s game before letting the Huskies back into the game with a plothera of freebies in the eighth inning. James Nygren walked two batters and hit another before giving way to Mark Grbavac in the eighth inning. Grbavac struggled to find the strike zone, walking two straight batters himself. Kraig Sitton was then summoned out of the bullpen, and recorded a strikeout before giving up a 2-RBI base hit that cut Oregon State’s lead to two. Kevin Rhoderick would come in to earn the save, limiting the Huskies damage.
The Beavers moved into sole possession of second place in the Pac-10 with the win over Washington. UCLA lost to California, allowing the Beavers to leapfrog the Bruins in the standings. Two games remain in each series, so the Pac-10 standings could continue to fluctuate this weekend.
Greg Peavey goes to the mound today for the Beavers, and will square off with Jason Erickson of the Huskies. Erickson was named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week last week for his performance against USC, and has been Washington’s most consistent starter so far this season. Erickson has thrown two consecutive shutouts, dating back to his performance on April 25 against Oregon.
First pitch is scheduled for 2:00 at Husky Ballpark.

So was that all...
Just a an out of place two innings with a pitcher who is having control issues (today for Peavey was as ConnorOSU would say “pretty bad”)? Or something worse and more problematic?
Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
My thinking is that we played them even after the second and the offense picked up some big hits against a very good pitcher and the pitching afterwards did okay against a hot hitting team, so if Reyes and/or the relief pitchers have a decent showing I feel good about tomorrow’s chances.

He was horrible
But I’m not going to jump ship yet. We’ll see how he does on Saturday against WSU.

Yep, not a good showing and again if he does what Reyes did with bases loaded and keeps the Beavs in it the game is winnable (but alas didn’t win Sunday with a pretty decent pitching performance by the Beavs).

so
I’m having a hard time figuring this team out right now. They have the talent but sure can’t to put all together for these games. One day it is Peavey imploding and then the next it is eight hits but only being able to get three runs. Need to start to put it all together for the post-season.
