It Never Rains on this Podcast 04-07-26

This episode of 'It Never Rains on this Podcast' dives deep into the recent performances of Oregon's diamond sports, focusing on the softball team's sweep over Iowa and the baseball team's tough series against Michigan. The hosts, Tristan Holmes and Badwater, express concern over the Ducks' pitching depth, particularly with key pitchers Elise Sokolski and Taylor Spencer sidelined, leaving Lindsey Grime as the primary starter. Despite a powerful offensive showing—highlighted by Elon Butler’s cycle in game two—the team’s reliance on one dominant pitcher raises red flags for the postseason. The baseball team’s struggles, especially a 10-0 loss in a brutal early-morning game, are attributed to scheduling disruptions and a cold bat, though the hosts remain optimistic about their ability to rebound. The second half shifts to football, where a detailed film analysis of quarterback Dante Moore reveals he performed better than expected under pressure, with a lower weighted passer error rate than his predecessor Dylan Gabriel. The hosts credit the offensive line as the primary issue, not Moore’s inexperience, and express cautious optimism for the 2026 season, especially with a rebuilt offensive line and key transfers. The episode ends on a hopeful note, urging fans to enjoy the spring sports season and the upcoming spring game.
