There are very few opponents we'll be able to out-slug during the season and beat. So far, we're seeing the same refrain as previous seasons--one aspect was focused on during the offseason and has improved significantly, while one or both of the other aspects have been left languishing. In this case, hitting has significantly improved, but defense/fielding and pitching has taken a powder. Now, it's *REALLY* early in the season, and 3-1 was the bare minimum acceptable result from this series, so we're okay. Next week will tell us if Erstad has actually improved things, or merely played a shell game with the coaching. Quote Link to comment

One thing I seen on Friday & Saturday was too many errors. Hopefully preseason jitters! Quote Link to comment

Our starting pitching was good on Friday, but relief pitching was suspect at best. And yes, defense plays into how pitching looks...but from the (janky AF) feed, I wasn't impressed with the pitching. Thing is, even giving up 4 runs to UC-R (who is *not* a good team) isn't THAT reassuring, either, if we're being honest. I hope this is just first series jitters/knocking the dust off, and we'll see us win (or at least split) with Oregon State next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Best Relief appearances of the weekend: Friday - Connor Curry (So.) 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 Ks Ben Klenke (Jr.) 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks Matt Waldron yesterday was fire. So besides Friday and Sunday, relief has stinked it up. Quote Link to comment

If we win the series against Oregon State, I will go f$%&ing crazy. I will definitely be happy with a split as well 1 Quote Link to comment
