Baseball Game 14 Open Thread: Oregon State vs. Maine

Oregon State vs. Maine (Game 1) // 5:30 PM, Goss Stadium // Radio on KPAM 860

I had planned to write an in-depth recap of the Beaver baseball team's first 13 games this week due to my lack of coverage of the team this far, but that didn't happen-- and now I'm just trying to scrap together an open thread for today's game. Such as life, I guess... but with basketball over, expect much more baseball coverage from me here on Building the Dam. 

The Beavers are 10-3 at this point in the season, with a four game series against Maine and five more non-conference games left before Pac-10 play begins. Pat Casey and the Beavers are still tinkering with the lineups, as 20 position players and 12 pitchers have been used so far. 

Oregon State currently has the lowest batting average in the conference at .241, but opponents are hitting just .219 against the Beaver pitching. Several players are off to a hot start offensively, but Stefen Romero and Carter Bell-- who have played the majority of the time-- are hovering right around .300. 

On the mound, Greg Peavey, Tanner Robles, and Tyler Waldron each have three or four starts apiece, and are leading the staff in innings pitched-- that's the likely rotation for this season. The team ERA is 2.80, which ranks third the Pac-10. 

Maine, who the Beavers haven't played since 1994, is 7-8 on the season.

Here's the place to talk about Game 1 of this four game weekend series for the Beavers.

I know

And even though Maine isn’t that good, I love these blowout wins!

And the young hitters are impressive

You already covered all I wanted to say about Boyd above!

But Danny Hayes has been awesome tonight.

I think the test will be tomorrow

We did this once before and then lost the next game.

Spring means Baseball. Go Beavs

by plcdude on Mar 19, 2010 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yep

I agree but one thing is that Tennessee is a much different team.

Maine doesn’t look to have the depth, a bit like Portland.

I agree that tomorrow will be a good indicator of if the team has the mental focus now that was lacking there in the beginning of the season.

Personally I would be disappointed and surprised if we didn’t sweep them this weekend.

-RVM

by rvm on Mar 19, 2010 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'd be happy with 3 Wins

It’s tough to win both games in a Double Header, no matter who you are playing. Although we did get lucky last week!

I Hate Your Ducks

by ConnorOSU on Mar 19, 2010 8:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

This time going to flip on you!

I think nothing less than all four this time around.

Three wins and one loss wouldn’t be bad at all and I won’t be complaining (unless we get really ugly over the weekend), but they should be able to take a team like this in all four Need to really start getting more momentum for conference play.

-RVM

by rvm on Mar 19, 2010 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Agreed

A sweep would make a statement.

I will bring the broom.
