"I think there are some times where this team has done some great things, and there are other times when we have shot ourselves in the foot," Casey said. "We are a young team, and that is what happens when seven of your first 11 pitchers are freshman."
This is going to be a big weekend as well for the seniors on the OSU roster. Sunday's game is Senior Day, and Oregon State will honor nine seniors before the start of the game. Pitchers Mike Stutes and Reed Brown, catcher Eric Ammon, infielders Drew George, Lonnie Lechelt and Jordan Lennerton and outfielders Chris Hopkins, Braden Wells and Daniel Robertson will all be recognized.
This is arguably the most decorated senior class in any sport in the history of Oregon State athletics and if things do not go in the Beavers' favor this weekend it could be the last time they will wear the Oregon State uniform. Either way it has been a great ride for many in this senior class.
"It's been fun," George said. "It's been nice since I'm from nearby Lebanon. My family has been able to come to my games, and it's been great. I always grew up wanting to be a Beaver. It's been a fun time."
For those of you unable to get tickets this weekend, Saturday's game will be televised on Fox Sports at 2 p.m. Friday's game is a 5 p.m. start, and Sunday is a 1 p.m. start.

Re: Oregon State not included in the 64 team NCAA baseball tournament
Oregon State University should file a formal protest because they were not included in the tournament. (Continued…)

World cup skiing is the perfect analogy. The Pac-10 is like Austria--a lot of depth, like the SEC. If 9 SEC schools are in the tournament, then 7 Pac-10 schools should be. (Continued…)

I have said it about 10 times now--with a conference and also west coast teams much like Austria is in skiing, a .500 record by Oregon State does not mean a mediocre team. (Continued…)
