Weekend Notes:
- ASU is a good offensive ball club. Going into last weekend they were first or second in the conference in most offensive statistics.
Our non-frosh pitchers handled them well, with a 3.4 ERA over the weekend.
- Unfortunately, the frosh pitchers (Scott and Dugan) struggled. They managed 4.1 innings and a game ERA of 18.7.
- Worried whether Scott will get things back on track this year. That's now 3 starts in a row where he hasn't got through the third inning. Though, curiously, he didn't allow a first inning hit or run in any of those three.
- Worried about Matthews' workload. He's thrown over 110 pitches in each of his last 10 outings. He's been great, but that is a lot of work.
- Jake Sapien seems to have taken over the DH spot. He went 5-12 for the series vs ASU including 2 doubles and 2 HRs.
- Not sure if it was the desert warmth, ASU pitching, or just lots of weight lifting, but power hitting led the way this past weekend. Stanford had 26 extra base hits versus only 10 singles, in fact they had as many HRs as singles (10 each).
- Curious that Tommy Troy gets a national player of the week nod (.462 AVG, 3 doubles, 3 HRs, 1.385 SLG) whereas Alberto Rios gets Pac 12 player of the week (0.500 AVG, 2 doubles, 3 HRs, 1.286 SLG). Great we had both.
