To put the talent level in perspective... 2 of our best players are Mangum and Stovall. Oregon state is missing their CF who was a 5th rounder (much higher than Jake), and Stovall couldn't hold Madrigal's jock with a fork lift

This

Pilkington was a 3rd rounder & Small would've been a 5th rounder if he wanted less money than what he was asking. But yes, they are way more talented at every position on the field

[MarketingBully]

Look, if Hunter fields the ball cleanly and Small is there at 1st like he should be then the dude is out. Not sure why we are putting all the blame on Allen.

Stovall gets that ball cleanly if Allen doesn’t dive for it. He’s the first baseman. Get to first base.

[I seen it dawg]

Is Mangum the only player on our team that would start at OSU?

Yes

ETA only with Kwan hurt. Kwan better than Mangum

Kwan (osu cf) put up a higher ops and was a 5th rounder

[HoopsDawg]

boy that was a really disappointing B4 for our guys.

[MarketingBully]

Bc Allen knows hunter has tremendous range and is playing pull side. He has to let Stovall have that ball every time. It was a huge mistake.

This...

Because he didn’t know where the second baseman was. That’s his job. It caused Stovall to rush it. I agree w original lost.

Yeah, but Mangum could play a corner outfield spot ha

[ShotgunDawg]

That surprise you? They pretty much pick who they want on the west coast

Agree but they've built the program into that.

There is absolutely no reason that OSU should be getting better players than Stanford, USC, Arizona, ASU, UCLA, Cal State Fullerton, etc.....

There is also no resource or reason that we can't recruit their roster with the right coach

[MoreCowbell]

2b, 3rd starter, middle relief... there's huge advantages. Henderson with Oregon state beats Casey with state 8 of 10

I wouldnt say anybody is a huge advantage over Stovall I don?t care how good they are. Stovall only one who has done anything vs OSU

[KOdawg1]

If Small and Mac come back, we'll be back in Omaha next year. Freshmen will have another year under their belt, Mangum will be the best senior in college baseball, and we'll have a true ace in Small. Losing Pilk kinda hurts, but he hasn't been the Pilk we're used to seeing. The new coach, whoever he is, needs to talk Cole Gordon into staying. He's got Sunday starter written all over him. We also get some of our TJ pitchers back. We'll be back.

I think Mangum or Rowdy could start for them in LF

Stovall is solid for us, but a very average player overall

[msstate7]

Most likely our run ends tonight, but it will set up one hell of a match up Monday

That last sentence needs to be stickied. We make too many excuses for why we can't instead of looking for solutions.

[MoreCowbell]

Yes

Mangum would still start somewhere

[MarketingBully]

The shit thing is Small has pitched decent and if Allen doesn’t **** up in the field Small has a 0 on the board right now.

[bobtail bob]

They got more sticks than us. I dont think the barvers pitcher has as small a strike window as Small does. A comeback would have to be legendary against everythin working against us

[CadaverDawg]

Thanks for framing Skelton.**

Their 2b was the 5th pick in this draft. He has K'd 6 times this season. 6! He's a galaxy better than Stovall, and I love hunter
