Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted March 22 We don't need to see a game summary of this one. We couldn't hit, and we did not pitch well... ------------------------------------------------------------- Thank goodness the weather report is for clouds, but little or no rain today. The Ducks feature starting pitcher, Collin Clarke, who has an incredible 2.08 ERA vs. the starter for the Scarlet Knights who is at a very good 3.80 ERA. In the end...the ERA is helpful looking at past history, but today could be quite different with how a pitcher is doing. Yesterday the Rutgers starter had an ERA over 9.00, because of early outings, (like two of our pitchers) but yesterday we only got one run off him. He was super, thus ERA in the past meant nothing. Ditto for last Sunday when Oregon's Will Sanford had an ERA of only 2.25, but had a bad day and got shelled. We just have to assume that all opposing pitchers are good, and fortunately for Our Beloved Ducks...we have pitching depth unlike any other year that I've watched Oregon Baseball. Let's win the series today! Stud Collin Clarke on the Hill for OBD... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 2 Share Posted March 22 0-0 after two innings. Like yesterday--both starting pitchers are very, very tough. How do you strike out FOUR in one inning? A third strike slipped through the catcher's mitt to the backstop, and the batter made it to first base. But it did not matter with Clarke...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted Saturday at 10:00 PM Boy, things can turn in a hurry. 3-0 Rutgers at the end of three innings. Just when I was bragging on Clarke...he hits a batter, another gets a lucky infield hit, and then another batter caught a pitch for a three-run homer. Damn.

Mudslide No. 7 Share Posted Sunday at 04:43 AM For we old b-ball playing guys ..................... Two old guys, who both loved to play baseball, made an agreement that the first one of them to die would return to tell the other if there was baseball in heaven. Sure enough, right after one of them died, his spirit appeared to his friend and said, “I have good news and bad news.” “The good news is that there is baseball in heaven! The bad news is. . . you’re pitching on Friday!” 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
