would love to get some info on y'all ballpark to bring back to my board.
I'm probably not the best person to speak about Oregon baseball but this is a complete surprise to see Oregon in postseason play. We have a brand new coach that has brought life to a program we thought was dead. From what I know about the current Oregon baseball team, is they have pretty good offense, but inconsistent and sloppy defense. Have definitely seen plenty of defensive errors from this team. Overall pitching is good but nothing to go crazy about. It feels like Oregon just outhits their opponents a lot which is a drastic difference from the prior coach's small ball obsession where anytime someone was on first with 0 or 1 outs the next batter would attempt a sacrifice bunt (even with the opposition ready for it and knowing it's coming). Before Oregon baseball would lose games 0-1 and now they win games 9-7, just a very different team with new life.
Appreciate the info. No guarantees our teams will meet up this weekend, but if so, here's to a good game injury free on both sides.
On the ballpark itself. Dimensions aren't drastically different than Alex Box in Baton Rouge, but how does it play?
Is it hitter friendly or does it benefit pitchers more?
Also weather? Looks like temperature falls pretty good after dark out that way (that doesn't happen here).
Do y'all typically get a crowd on here to discuss games as they happen?
I think the game threads consist of the following 3-4 posts. Game thread is created, greenyellow posts the final game summary, and 1-2 posters will comment on the game based on simply looking at the box score. I think there's very minimal fan support for the baseball team, but then again I don't really know anybody that follows college baseball, and I'm close with a lot of big sports fans. I love baseball, and watch MLB games just about every day, but have never been able to get into college, with the aluminum bats and most top tier players forgoing college for the minors. I follow these game threads just out of general curiosity as a Duck alum and wanting to see all their teams do well, but I don't set aside time to watch their games.
oh wow!
so that’s a bit different than we do here.
we average (in a normal year) over 10,000 tickets sold per game. For a big weekend we can slam 12K into The Box.
Arkansas and those two piles of horse crap in Mississippi both bring in huge crowds too.
we don’t get as much traffic in game threads anymore as we have a group chat off the board that gets active during games.
This LSU thing is reminding me of the 2011 football kickoff game between Oregon and LSU, someone said that LSU has godawful fans but TBH I would love to see them play again in that sport, but for now we care for baseball.
Lemme see LSU baseball stats to see how this goes, but we shouldn't overlook CCSU.

The two LSU guys on here seem cool, but I was at the LSU game in 2011 and was shocked and appalled at the behavior of LSU fans at the game. The physical aggression, foul and racist language, and constant harassment before and after the game was unlike anything I’ve ever seen at a duck game before. These two LSU guys though are redeeming LSU fans for me, especially Bud Lee.

That reminds me of an USC fan that mocked Oregon constantly on Twitter, I remember that he refused to acknowledge the 2004-05 USC natty was vacated and that he always insulted Oregon no matter what, I don't wanna imagine how hard he raged when Oregon beat USC in the 2020 Pac-12 Championship Game, that person is the reason why I don't like USC.
Funny story. I came over here in 2011 and never left. Kind of grew on them and now I'm a mod. I'm an honorary duck now. They taught me the special handshake and everything.
I'm on multiple LSU Boards. my normal username (Nutriaitch) was somehow taken when i tried to sign up.
