At this point, the pitching has started to come around. Over the 8 games before the rain-fest to end the UW series, the team ERA was 2.54. Even with the rain-mess game the past 9 games have seen a 3.30 ERA. Of course that only brought the season ERA down to 5.91.
Bats remain anemic except for Nati hitting .411 with OPS of 1.161. Moore has 5 homers but only hitting .200.
Some hope from Reynolds and Hott who seemed to have now made the starting lineup and both are hitting over .300.
Disappointing that UCSD transfer Larson hasn't done much yet - hear he's not fully healthy.
Perhaps it's a good thing that the Pac looks relatively weak in its final year.
OSU is very good and cal looks strong so far. Not sold on anyone else though Utah and Oregon have pretty good records against weak competition.
And not quite on point - but Stanford has the weirdest combination of a committment to bunt runners over and being absolutely terrible at bunting that I can ever remember. Even the good bunt by Cobb that TonyLima mentions above came right after just missing popping out on a first attempt.
