Going to rein in the thread drift and bring us back to Baseball.
According to gostanford.com, KZSU will provide audio for the three games in Berkeley. It will be interesting to see who starts for the four-game series. I'm guessing Beck, Mathews, Williams, Pancer, with the hopes that Mathews bounces back from his rough outing versus Arizona.
Stanford has played the fewest conference games, but is second in home runs to UCLA, which has played six more conference games. We are second to Arizona in slugging percentage. Our pitching is 6th in conference strikeout rate and sixth in ERA (the 20-2 loss to Arizona really skews that number). Beck is 2nd in the conference in strikeouts and Grech is 1st in saves.
Stanford is #18 in RPI, while Cal is #106. Still left on the regular season schedule: #10 Oregon and #24 Oregon State.
So let's take care of business against the Dirty Golden Bear!

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
