    Good for the program.

    Saw the program a few years ago when they played series against my brother and the UW team was an absolute joke that didn't look like they knew how to swing a bat.

    Getting to a NCAA Tournament would be huge. If they keep things going at the current pace, there's a decent chance they could host a regional.

    Good college baseball actually is pretty fun to watch. Much more uncertainty than professional baseball.

    That's why I added the "D".

    Incorrect. Jood doesn't sound like anything. His blog is like the Red October; silent and cutting edge if this were the 80s.

    I'm actually down with it myself. I watch the CWS every year. It's good stuff. Much better than MLB for me.

    It's also good that we're at least scratching the surface of relevancy. I used to write it off to weather, and there is no denying that cbb success correlates nicely with how close your university is to the equator. That said, Oregon and, especially, Oregon State, have been able to manage bb in wet weather, so we should too. Oregon has been amazingly good relative to how old the program is. Not unlike football, it's about how seriously you take it. PK Park, which I've seen, is amazing. A real college bb park. And hiring Horton away from CS Fullerton was the ultimate expression (TO THE FUCKING BB RECRUITS) of Oregon's seriousness.

    Let's see if Washington can finally break through. That said, it's a long fucking season, and baseball of all sports is not one to get too jacked about early on. But it's been a while since they've been this good, so that's cool. Not ashamed to say I'll make it out to a game or two.

    As of right now, the UW is a Top 20 RPI ... so they'll have to work really hard to play themselves out of a regional ... particularly if they remain anywhere close to competitive in PAC play

    They haven't really beaten anyone though. Arizona State is probably their best series win. The real tests against the Oregons and UCLA await.

    It's clear they've made some significant progress, but I wouldn't buy those regional tickets anytime soon.
