Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 2 Share Posted February 11 The schedule is right here, and you need to get the B1G+ streaming. For all those games? Well worth the $8.00 a month!

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 3 Share Posted February 11 Waz was interviewed last week on Autzen Audibles and he commented that the 2025 squad has a bit more talent than in 2024. The incoming 6'9" kid, Reitz, has a flamethrower arm that clocks a 98mph heater, and additions from the prep ranks and portal are all high quality. He pointed out that the Ducks were one or two at bats and a healthy arm away from finally getting past the super regional to Omaha. In addition to Grinsell and the returning bats, it looks like this team has added the extra juice to get there. Looking forward to watching some games at PK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan2785 No. 4 Share Posted February 12 While I'm sure our record will improve, I am a bit worried about how ready the team will be once they get to the postseason, B1G success in baseball is pretty non-existent in the last 30 years. Only team I can think of off the top of my head that has made it in the last ten years is Michigan, and that team was pretty unexpected. We're kind of the big team in a small pond.

Yep, and that is why Waz was looking for non-conference games that would boost our RPI. Even teams in lower conferences--we are playing the best ones in that conference, and who will be in the NCAAs in the spring. Playing No. 7 Oregon State in a four game series helps both teams with the RPI. As I look at our schedule--I believe it is not quite as tough as Pac-12 schedule, (No Arizona or Stanford!) but we have enough juice to do well, and it is tough enough to harden the team. This is a very experienced team in the field, one of the best ever for Oregon and I expect the hitting to be pretty good. The only question is pitching, but he brought a boat-load of pitchers in, and he will find out who can do the job.
