USC Stuns, Startling Stats, and a Bold Oregon Prediction

USC is playing their Super-Regional at No. 5 North Carolina, and stunned them yesterday with a 9-5 victory, and the chance to make the CWS today when they play on ESPN at 11:00 AM PST. Good start for the Big-10!

The Ducks are just one of three teams out of the 16 in the Super-Regionals who has advanced to the Super-Regionals three times in the last four seasons.

Oregon's starting pitchers, and first-line relief pitchers are hot right now, as the three starters only gave up ONE RUN TOTAL in last weekend's NCAA Baseball Regional Eugene Tournament. The entire pitching staff at Oregon only gave up an average of one run per game in that regional!

Since the start of the USC series in the final weekend...they have been killing it, and they are truly peaking at the perfect time! The staff has combined for a total ERA of just 1.81 since then, and the starters have a 1.47 ERA in the last nine games. The starters have given up an average of ONE RUN per game during that nine game stretch, and that is something I never thought I'd keyboard.

This is not during the early season stretch against easier non-conference opponents; this was against USC, the Big-10 tournament, and the Eugene Regional. Talk about great timing!

I believe that Texas is a very good team, with great starting pitching...but I believe Cal Scolari and Will Sanford will continue their hot pitching and carry the Ducks to a 2-0 sweep at Texas this weekend. I have never felt this good about our starting pitching and first-line relievers since the peak George Horton years, but we have hitting now to go with it.

That is my Oregon FANTASY, and I'm Sticking to It!

Texas coach with some faint praise for an Oregon team coming out of a lesser conference.

The SEC in baseball is the best, but why can't anyone in the SEC let the scoreboard speak for itself?

I believe OBD plays Texas tonight and not the SEC.

Charles, may your bold turn into solid gold!

The SEC hubris is so strong....it reminds of something I've heard recently.

Do you think any of them are part-Iranian? Iraqi?

We are the Mother-of-All-Conferences...

USC shut out by UNC in game 2.

Hopefully, Troy will win the alphabet soup battle and capture Chapel Hill tomorrow.

Always appreciate a visit from Baghdad Bob.😁
