Starting today is a series against Rice. 
The Sunday game has been moved forward due to a bad forecast, so doubleheader on Saturday with no game Sunday. 

Rice is 2-2 on the year. All games at home. 
They lost a series (1-2) to Louisiana last weekend then won a midweek game vs Sam Houston State. 
Louisiana is likely pretty good - they made the tournament last year and are 5-1 this year. 

Rice's Friday pitcher did okay in a loss. Their Saturday and Sunday pitchers both got chased in the second inning. 
Rice had a tough year last year, going 17-39. 
Don't know a lot about Rice. They have a .295 BA on the year (seems good), .808 OPS (less good), and hit 2 HRs.
Stanford sits at .273 BA, .926 OPS, and 9 HRs. 

Stanford's start has been a little disappointing so far, particularly the pitching. 
The cal game was disappointing, but not terrible - after the first inning. 
The teams had the same number of hits and base runners. But while cal got the ball up into the jet stream to left field for 6 RBIs on 2 HRs, Stanford kept hitting warning track shots into the wind in right field - but did get a solo HR to left from Cobb.

Still haven't seen O'Rourke pitch, making me think he's injured or something. 
The announcers at the cal game said something along the lines of Haskins not being available, so that was why Cobb was playing. 
I don't know if that is true, as in the article linked earlier in this thread, Esquer mentioned Cobb as a likely starter in the middle infield. At any rate, Cobb has done pretty well. His past struggles were mainly on offense. So far this year he's hitting .412, 1.180 OPS, a HR and a triple. He does have two errors, but made a game saving highlight catch to save the Saturday game vs Fullerton.  

Will be looking for updates on O'Rourke and Haskins.
