Quack Fix: Ducks win the first Civil War meeting, Altman makes first coaching staff hire

PrintRemember when Oregon State won back-to-back national baseball championships? Yeah, me neither. Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- The surging No. 17 Oregon baseball team took advantage of the slumping Beavers, winning the first game of the Civil War series last night at PK Park, 9-4. It was the first of five match-ups scheduled for this season between the two inner-state rivals. The Ducks get two days off before their three-game home stand against Washington State this Friday.
- But arguably the more anticipated event this weekend is the football team's Spring Game on Saturday. For those of you attending, here's a bit more info. I've actually never had the pleasure of attending the Spring Game. Is it worth driving up from San Francisco?
- New Oregon basketball coach Dana Altman started assembling his coaching staff yesterday, adding long-time Creighton assistant Brian Fish. Still no word on whether recruiting extraordinaire Kenny Payne will be retained from Ernie Kent's staff.
- The R-G's Rob Moseley had a nice piece on walk-on receiver Justin Hoffman yesterday. It sounds like, given all the turmoil around the position this offseason (read: Garrett Embry and Jamere Holland), Hoffman has a shot at significant time this fall.
As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.

I’ve actually never had the pleasure of attending the Spring Game. Is it worth driving up from San Francisco?
No. However, I’d love to see you there, Paul!

Not really worth the drive down from Portland either
But this year, it might be a little more interesting in that it might be more like a game than a scrimmage. Great weekend to be in Eugene though with 3 baseball games, the Oregon Invitational for T & F, and the spring game. They’ve done a nice job spacing start times out so you can take it all in . . . and it’s starting to look like the weather is going to cooperate.
I don’t think it’s not worth the drive… I need my football fix.
I went to a baseball game last month, and just being in the vicinity was like a recovering drug addict hearing someone snort a line.

Now we all know
Don Essig only drinks Scotch.

I hope he’ll be happy with half a bottle of Macallan 10 Year, ‘cause that’s all I got.

he will be so drunk by the time he gets to that line he wont know the difference.

I didn't mean to say that we weren't making the drive anyway
We’re coming to get a FULL weekend of Duck sports.

Oregon Daily Emerald’s write up of some football stuff, you can check out other items from their sport section as well if you want.
"I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I'm good at everything." - Demetri Martin
How great was it to see the two OS outfielders run into each other
and Piazzisi score on his triple? It kind of epitomized the game for the beavs and Casey’s whining. Hahahaha!
Nice win for the Diamond Ducks and Coach Altman, his wife, and Coach Fish were there to see it!
I missed that play
I hope somebody posts it on youtube.
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
it was eerily similar to every pop fly that gets hit in a little league game…
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
It apparently happens in high school too.
I was pitching last night, and a popup was hit by a batter from the other team straight up in the air, inches in front of home plate. My catcher called it, saw that I was in the vicinity, and let it go. I was a bit heated.

hopefully you were yelling at your first or third baseman to stop being lazy and to go call off the catcher…

It was the catcher's ball. It was literally a foot away from him.

I’m with you TQA8. Catcher’s have to have a me-first attitude until another infielder (not the pitcher) calls them off.
"...the noise is one aspect, but you can feel the intensity of their crowd." - Pete Carroll on Oregon's Autzen Stadium.
Yeah, and it would be ridiculous to have a first baseman or third baseman go that far for a ball so close to the catcher.
It was an easy play. It was a weak pop-up. My team is horrid defensively. It’s so deflating as a pitcher to watch outs go down the drain.

I know your pain
Same story when i was in high school. Of course my fielders liked to blame the field itself (Gabriel park for any of you portland area people) but wow, we must have led the world in errors when i was there
My fielders like to make various excuses too, but I think they know that they suck deep down inside.

They don’t work outside of practice to better themselves, they don’t give max effort, and they pass blame off on others when they screw up. It is what it is. I call it as I see it.

My nickname in baseball was “Frogger”, because I’d leap out of stance whenever the bat made contact.
The best thing my pitchers ever did for me was point where the ball was going. If it’s a foul, it can be very difficult to figure out where it went from the catcher’s position.

I can totally see why the catcher did that. It appears to have made contact low on the ball, which usually means it goes up.
Rec’d though.

No wonder we keep losing players to Florida. I’m relieved it’s not the national championships, rich tradition and high level of play:
“We have a drug policy here!” Meyer said in a fiery speech. “You smoke marijuana, you won’t play football!” But that harsh stance seems to contradict the University of Florida’s substance abuse policy, which can allow a player who failed a drug test to still play ball.

Hey Mattdaddy! Look who's 4th on the Depth Chart!
@DuckFootball If he had to play a game today, John Neal said his corners would be Terrance Mitchell and Avery Patterson, since Talmadge Jackson is hurt.
I think this is more of a positive than a negative myself, although I’m not sure what’s up with CH3

Possible Spring Game Line Ups
Green offense: QB Darron Thomas, RB LaMichael James, WR D.J. Davis, WR Justin Hoffman, WR Will Murphy, TE David Paulson, LT Bo Thran, LG Ryan Clanton, C Jordan Holmes, RG C.E. Kaiser, RT Everett Benyard
White defense: DE Dion Jordan, DT Zac Clark, DT Brandon Bair, DE Brandon Hanna, LB DeWitt Stuckey, LB Blake Thompson, LB Bo Lokombo, CB Cliff Harris, CB Terrance Mitchell, S Eddie Pleasant, S Javes Lewis
White offense: QB Nate Costa, RB Remene Alston, WR Jeff Maehl, WR Lavasier Tuinei, WR Garrett Davis, TE Brandon Williams, LT Darrion Weems, LG Ramsen Golpashin, C Max Forer, RG Mark Asper, RT Nick Cody
Green defense: DE Kenny Rowe, DT Taylor Hart, DT Isaac Remington, DE Terrell Turner, LB Casey Matthews, LB Spencer Paysinger, LB Bryson Littlejohn, CB Scott Grady, CB Avery Patterson, S John Boyett, S Brian Butterfield
I see the Green team running more with Barner #2 behind James while the White offense tries to throw more with Costa, Maehl and Tuinei. Should be fun.
