My take: the Beavers are playing bad. I hope they play better. Follow this page for more hard-hitting analysis.

@KendallRogers @BeaverBaseball Wait until you see the secondary offerings!

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

Dax is absolutely that dude… yes, he’s throwing 97, but I’m even more impressed with his ability to locate.

Also didn’t show the big curve at all that inning.

Dude can PITCH

@margar0010 @beaverkman @AivaArquette @BeaverBaseball Mark… I love ya… but Arquette as a better defensive SS than Grenier and Army… I’m not there yet. Grenier went in the 1st round of the draft he was so good at SS. Arquette’s ability at the plate looks like his carrying tool to me.

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

Segura has looked awesome today. His stuff is jumping all over the place (in a good way).

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

@MurphySupr21353 Nothing good!

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

@Los_Beavs I’ve procrastinated buying the streaming. Is it working at all, or should I skip it and listen on the radio?

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

@not_mike_riley @JoeInOregon87 I tend to agree with that.

But also, I’m of the opinion that it’s way too early to be getting into all this. Play good baseball, develop players, win games, and it’ll take care of itself.

Also, this is how we get the freakouts on Twitter when we inevitably lose a game

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

@JoeInOregon87 I disagree pretty strongly with the idea that we can only lose ~5 games if we want to host supers.

Warrren Nolan’s projections have us losing 16 games and having an RPI of 13. Margins are slim there too—it doesn’t take too many Ls flipping to Ws to get into the top 8.

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

Pretty amazing praise for Dax Whitney. I’m excited to dig into the Over-Slot podcast that Joe mentions to hear more.

[Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB]

Oregon State RHP Dax Whitney is already one of the top five starting pitchers/starting pitcher prospects in college baseball. I have complete conviction in that.

I spoke at length about the freshman’s unbelievable debut on Over-Slot this week.

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

Dax getting recognized for his strong debut!

[PG College Baseball @PGCollegeBall]

It was an outstanding collegiate debut for the talented freshman Dax Whitney in the desert. 👀

Talavs has been impressive. I expect him to see some higher leverage innings in the future.

[Oregon State Baseball @BeaverBaseball]

Drew Talavs has 5 strikeouts in 2 innings. Dominant.

@MurphySupr21353 Wait you said top of the 3rd. Yeah it was 3 pitches, 2 fly outs

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

I’m pretty sure Caraway forgot how many outs there were and let up, and then played it off like he hurt his leg.

With that being said, if he did tweak something…. That’s very bad.

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

@MurphySupr21353 Arquette 4 pitch walk, Turley hit a screamer to first that was caught for a double play. Good at bats, bad luck.

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

@margar0010 @Benjamin_Clason @Josh__Worden @CollegeBaseCNT No love for the series on the road at Nebraska!? They knocked off Vandy this weekend, I think that’s a really good club.

[The Dugout Dam @DugoutDam]

Shoutout to the broadcast crew at KEJO for throwing to these preseason interviews with Joey Mundt and Wilson Weber with this delay.

It’s a small thing, but they could have easily gone to some national radio show I don’t care about.

Also @Josh__Worden is a treasure
