    Absolutely - it's shown in their piss poor SOS in the 100s.

    However, provided that they are able to hold their own in series against the Oregons and UCLA, then they are set up well to be put in a position where they shouldn't have to worry about making the tournament. Moreover, they'll most likely be kept on the West Coast for a regional and likely against a Big West school ... which are full of big parks that play to the long-term strength of the program ... the pitching staff.

    It's nice to have UW baseball back as being worth talking about. There's no reason for UW to not have a strong baseball program.

    Major +1.

    Living in SEC cuntry for so long, I have come to appreciate the value of a strong baseball program. It's a surprisingly big deal down here.

    Some schools are allowing alcohol in designated sections, and you can carry it in with you. UW should do this, but they won't.

    DawgPassion206, a good buddy of mine did a study a few years ago where he looked at which states produce the most pro's in football, basketball and baseball. He had nominal rankings and then per capita.

    For football, Washington was around 17-20 in both nominal and per capita if i recall correctly. However, for baseball pros Washington was as high as 7th. If we really get serious about baseball one would think we could have a top 10 program.

    yes, it is. playing bb in the p12 is no joke, and they haven't made the rounds just yet. let's wait and see, as others have said, what happens after UCLA and the Oregons. that should tell us something.

    Keep in mind a bulk of that talent is probably coming straight out of high school though.

    I do agree with you that there is no reason for UW to be as bad as long as they have been in baseball. I mean shit we couldn't even crack the dance when Lincecum was here winning national pitcher of the year.
