I think the argument is that Esquer doesn’t consider Pancer to be a top bullpen arm at the moment. He was also the only borderline “top arm” that Esquer used in the Oregon game which led me to this conclusion.

Indeed. My guess is that our first guy out of the bullpen tomorrow - assuming it's a close game - will be Dowd. Then, to Bruno in the 9th assuming it's still a close one.

The Pride of Belmont has hit his stride.

Prayers up for Jake Sapien.

If you’ve paid close attention to the NCAA selection committee, you’ll appreciate this.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the SEC getting eight regional sites, and the poetic justice of the #4 seed Penn beating the #1 seed. Also, the first NCAA baseball win for Penn in 32 years.

Western schools results:

Stanford 13, San Jose State 2
Texas A&M 12, Cal State Fullerton 7
Oregon 5, Xavier 4
Oregon State 18, Sam Houston 2
Washington 9, DBU 5
Arkansas 13, Santa Clara 6
TCU 12, Arizona 4

Jake Sapien was hit in the head by a pitch. He got up on his own, but was removed from the game. Hope this was just a cautionary decision.

Troy Clardy tweeted last night: “Jake Sapien in hospital getting scanned, extent of damage unknown.”

I’d be surprised if Jake was in the lineup today.


spike - Spike - 06-03-2023

Who’s on the mound tonight do we think? 
Scary options.

Correct re Penn.


RE: Stanford Baseball 2023 - TonyLima - 06-03-2023

SJSU out. Fullerton wins 9-5.

My guess: Dixon.  Winning the second game is really important.


RE: Stanford Baseball 2023 - StanfordMatt - 06-03-2023

Dixon confirmed. Nati in for Sapien at DH.

Bringing my forecast accuracy to slightly under 50%. For an economist, that’s pretty good.

Jake is likely to be out for a while. Later today (maybe Monday), I’ll post itthe game on Youtube. Bottom of the third is fun right up to the point where he got hit. It’s not pretty. Roxy and Wes speculated that the pitch hit the bill of his helmet which angled down into his cheekbone. Prayers up.

Not at the game tonight because I avoid driving after dark. Tomorrow? Would not miss it for anything.


RE: Stanford Baseball 2023 - StanfordMatt - 06-03-2023

Waited too long to pull Dixon.

Maybe, but that first walk should have been called the last out of the inning

This team just doesn't have shut down relievers outside of maybe Bruno.  Dowd's ERA attests to this.


RE: Stanford Baseball 2023 - DenverCard - 06-03-2023

Maybe not news, but I just discovered the game is on ESPN2.

Truth.

Some bad karma, too. Two out of the last three days, my wife walks in just as we give up two runs. The first was softball against OK, now tonight. Literally, first batter each time; first pitch against OK, at least it took a couple of pitches tonight. . . .
