What I really mean is...I was not ready for the Baseball season to end, and I feel bad for the players on the baseball team as well. I thought that our lack of quality reliever depth could hurt us at the CWS, but since our top pitchers had done so well the last three weeks--I thought they were peaking.

They were, or more accurately....they did. (Before this last weekend)

We had a pitching letdown similar to last years disaster in the Eugene Regional; the pitchers who got us there did not have good days when it mattered. But then--that is Baseball, isn't it?

Between now and football season is a dead time for Oregon sports, but a great time to get other things done and get outside!

I so love the combined seasons of going from seeing a ton of winning football, then a six week break, and then a ton of winning Baseball at Oregon. We have great years ahead in both sports and TONS of winning games to enjoy.

In '23 and '24....we finished No. 12 in the nation, and we went into the Playoffs this year as the No. 11 National Seed. We have not got over the hump yet, but we are a pretty darn good program, thanks to Coach Waz.

In the last four years...only nine teams have made the Super-Regionals in three of the last four years out of just over 300 D1 Baseball programs. Thus to do so puts Our Beloved Ducks in the TOP 3% of all college baseball programs.

Be Proud!

More of this coming!

Well, we have some chopped liver later this week as TrackTown hosts the NCAAs!

Going 0 for 14 with runners in scoring position didn't give our pitchers any help either.

Texas is well coached, as are we.

Guess it's "wait till next year".

Thanks for all the info Charles.

It was a good season and our boys of summer made a good showing. They cave us some great games over the season!

The statement about " :...that is Baseball, isn't it?" shows me you are a true fan of the sport. Indeed when my best Duck buddy and his wife (both true fans of baseball) responded to my text about last nights game being a "really tough loss", he replied "Barb and I hope that the Dawgs beat the living snot out of Texas next week." I replied "I think they will, but as you well know, this is baseball you know." It can be a damn frustrating game to be sure.
