Curious. That was certainly not the intent of my post. Rather, Oregon has similar pitching depth issues to Stanford.
In conference-only play, Stanford is #5 in the Pac 12 in ERA at 5.53.
Oregon is #8 at 6.62.
In their last three conference series Oregon has given up 7, 5, 11 (SC); 14, 18, 11 (UW); 12, 1, 3 (Utah).
Over that same spell, Stanford has given up 6, 11, 4 (ASU); 8, 2, 21 (UA); 6, 4, 5 (WSU).
Oregon did give up a lot fewer runs to Cal at the conference tournament (2 vs 10), but for the most part the pitchers involved in both of those games won't be playing tonight.
Oregon does have a good offense. Generally #3 in most offensive categories behind Arizona and Stanford.
I expect a high scoring game.
Thanks for the additional info. Because their guy going tonight has a sub 4 ERA (and apparently their other guy available has been solid), I assumed they had a couple guys behind their two studs who could be trouble. I don't think Stanford has a third - and obviously a fourth - starter that I would put any trust into. Then again, to your point, their team has been giving up runs so hopefully we can put up a ton ourselves as we'll certainly need them.
