Now, these two are Nose Tackles! That is what we need...

Good to finish this out winning 17-5, with more information coming later...

Ducks blow it open in the 8th inning, and lead 15-5! Chase Meggers is having a DAY!

Ducks up 8-4 after seven innings due to this three-run home run by Chase Meggers! He has really come on...

Ducks still lead 5-4 after six innings, and a run was saved by an incredible throw from left field by Justin Cassella to home plate for the out!

Sigh. After five innings it is 5-4 Oregon.

After four innings, Oregon continues to lead 5-1.

After three innings...Oregon leads 5-1! We were at this same spot and score yesterday...but today is new day. Right?

Ducks lead 2-1 after two innings. Maddox Molony made a fantastic play at shortstop, as he dove and got a grounder on a perfect anticipation of the bounce and rolled, jumped up and fired to first base for the out!

I call it as I see it, and unfortunately was right.

More coming later! ------------------------------------------------ Today we have Grayson Grinsell on the mound, and I will watch with my hand over my face...through slits between the fingers. He can be brilliant, and blowing through batters, and then he suddenly walks two batters, hits another and faces a crisis with bases loaded...and then often gets out of it. He is mentally fragile, IMHO, and things can turn on a dime with him. (Kind of like yesterday with RG Gordon) Afternoon start at Stanford today. #GoDucks Watch ? https://t.co/VUIyWBYJSe Listen ? https://t.co/bxMwp3w2mP Stats ? https://t.co/8fVOgd60xL pic.twitter.com/1V4XMCT0CO — Oregon Duck Baseball (@OregonBaseball) April 20, 2024

19-7 the final.

The inning, the pain, would not end. A terrible, terrible night for Oregon pitchers, as Stanford leads 19-6 after eight innings. Wowsa. Where are my IPAs?

10-7 Stanford after 7.5 innings.

End of seventh inning, down 10-5 with Featherston in relief,

No change after six innings.

Good Gosh, they left Gordon in! 9-5 Cardinal after five innings.

‘Furd now leads 7-5 after four innings. RJ Gordon had a rough inning…a disaster,

Ducks up 4-1 after three innings! Excellent plate discipline, as a number of Oregon batters starting 0-2, made great decisions to walk or get a hit. ‘Furd pitcher has a VERY high pitch count.

After two innings, Oregon leads 2-1. We have had some excellent fielding which prevented more scoring as we caught a base runner between first and second, and a fantastic throw from left field by Chase Meggers to get the runner trying to stretch to second!

Not true. Besides, it is a low bar with me! Charles...are you NOBLE?

I found out that tonight is Stanford's annual "Fireworks Night," and I hope that ends up being the Oregon bats! The Ducks send out RJ Gordon (5-2) 3.58 ERA vs. the 'Furd's Matt Scott, (2-6) 3.93 ERA. I checked the stats on both teams for batting, and here is what I found: Stanford has four batters over .300 with one knocking on the door. Oregon has seven batters over .300 with one knocking on the door. (I need to add that not all of the seven play at the same time) Let's Go Ducks! Double Play!

Great point, as it is a great way to get the message out about how he operates, his values--through these interviews. While John has been critical of Dan as we have at times, (Take the damn points, or he hasn't won the big one yet) he is generally favorable in his writings about Lanning and the Ducks. I think part of that is the affability that Dan has, and while we cannot help but like Dan...the same is true of John's feelings about Lanning. Consider how different that is compared to the confrontational times between Chip and John, or even Cristobal and John. Neither figured out what Lanning has, and this goes to show again that Dan is wise beyond his years.

He actually said that he, "took a pay cut to play in the NFL."
