I don’t understand the use of O’Harran and Meier. Where is Bruno??? There is no tomorrow if we lose tonight. Last year was a fun ride going through the lose’s bracket but this team isn’t beating Fullerton and A&M twice with this pitching depth. It’s win or go back to the dorms tonight.

With a 3 run lead, I wouldn't use Bruno.  He needs to be fresh for tomorrow.

This is the first Stanford baseball game I have seen this year, and I was stunned to see our team ERA is nearly 6 (and then even more stunned that we got a top 8 seed). The trend doesn't look very good in the last three years with the pitching; the Esquer era actually started off pretty well in terms of pitching/team ERA. I get the analytics of baseball have changed the game, and that compared to softball, the wins above replacement a pitcher can provide is lower, but at some point, you have to have at least adequate/mediocre pitching. And sadly, our team ERA/the performance I have seen so far says we are not there.

Team is top 5 in batting and maybe top 50 (towards bottom of top 50) in pitching.  We always knew this team didn't have the pitching depth alone to go deep (no pun intended)
