USC Baseball Going Out In Style

USC leads Arizona State, 25-5, after five innings in the regular-season finale today in Tempe. That’s almost as many runs as victories for the Trojans, who entered the game with a 27-28 record.
UPDATED: USC leads 27-5 in the seventh inning. And 31-9 in the eighth. Final: 31-9.

  1. Actually, ucla is the team that went out in style, er…bruin style.

    Has any team ever been shut out three straight games, ever? The bruins just did it. The ucla goose eggs. Couldn’t happen to a guttier bunch. Hah, hah, hah.

    • UCLA advanced to the NCAA Women’s Softball tournament by winning two games today vs Oregon, the #1 west seed.

      Mushy, did the bozo u Women’s Softball team make the softball WS? Oh I forgot, bozo u doesn’t field a softball team. Way to much competition, bad for bozo u’s fragile, loser reputation.

      bozo u prefers to field a women’s beach blanket bingo, sandbox Wallyball team because only 15% of Div I Univ. Women’s Athletic programs sponsor teams.

      bozo u prefers cheap non-competitive sports or no competition team schedules.

  2. BFD. bozo u doesn’t make the NCAA tournament again, so regardless of the score and win, this last game as usual for bozo u baseball means absolutely nothing. The Ripple and Puke wind up as boiled chicken.

  3. ucla was pure crap this season winding up 10th in the Pac 11 with Colorado not fielding a team. Getting that out of the way now for the Trojans season. This team was not clutch way too many times. A # of big blowouts was worth only one win while losing too many close games costing a playoff berth. A horrible job by Alvarez as the third base coach was a factor during the season. Pitching changes or none by Hubbs in ball games costly. A shame so many good years by seniors , and juniors Martinez & Navilon went for naught. The cupboard is bare for 2017 unless every good recruit actually enrolls in school.

    • Yesterday was whipped cream on $#@! and now our once great program has little future under this head coach.

  4. College baseball is a joke. Might be fun to watch for those who enjoy it, but baseball it is not.

    • I’m not a big baseball fan and don’t know much about it. But I’m curious. What about college baseball is a joke? Isn’t it basically the same as minor league ball?

      • IMO most of it has to do with the metal bats. Scores like 31-9 make it so it’s not much more than glorified batting practice. Then again, I also think the DH is an obimination, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

        • Not batting practice for those Bruins. They couldn’t score one run in 27 straight innings against the Beavers this weekend.

        • Well metal bats are actually a bit dangerous – the ball comes off them far faster than a wooden one. Minor league baseball has gone back to wooden bats.

          As to the ‘DH’ save for the senior circuit all of baseball – all – use the designated hitter and if the NL wants to act like the ‘martyr’ go ahead. The DH has given many a chance to extending their career’s.
