Going to play neutral Devil's advocate here. How do you expect Davis to be relatively close to .500 overall and in conference after losing all three SP's, two of whom were drafted in the teens? The history up there is when Vaughn has a new pitching staff on the weekends, the results are poor because of the lack of recruiting (i.e., guys usually don't make an immediate impact and he has to develop them over 2-3 seasons). FWIW, Davis does have potential on offense to keep them competitive but the pitching is going to be a major problem. This looks like a down year for the Aggies.

In terms of Big West teams, the top three are the same as last year - Fullerton, Long Beach, Cal Poly (who will be better overall after a disastrous start in '17 that sank their regional hopes). UCSB will be the next in line with several top 25 recruiting classes. At least three of those teams will be in regionals. Hawaii will be better (return almost everybody, losing only 2 position players and 1 SP). Irvine's pitching will be much better (hitting will be an issue). Northridge will be about the same and they finished in 4th. Riverside will be about the same but they are starting to recruit better thanks to Percival's name (and bloodlines - son was in BA's top 500 pre-draft last year as a HS SR).

3/8-3/11 UC Davis @ Oregon (4-game series)

Fullerton's conference schedule. This hasn't been released by the school yet but has been provided to some people. Sorry about the bad info previously, that came from a link to the school's website that isn't accurate.

Mar. 29-31 @ UCSB*
Apr. 6-8 vs. Cal Poly*
Apr. 13-15 @ SDSU
Apr. 20-22 vs. Hawaii*
Apr. 27-29 @ UCI*
May 4-6 @ UCD*
May 11-13 vs. UCR*
May 18-20 vs. CSUN*
May 24-26 @ LBSU*

4/27-4/29 at Long Beach. They released their schedule yesterday.

Here are their non-conf series - St. Mary's, at TCU, Ole Miss, at Texas A&M, Tulane, at Fullerton (always play two series), at Fresno. Very impressive.

Two game midweek series vs. ASU, midweek game vs. Vandy (guessing they are out here for the Dodgertown tournament with USC and UCLA), the usual local midweek teams (USC, UCLA, SDSU, etc.).

Never mind, you already posted the games vs. Sac State.

Re: their schedule - my guess would be that they have decided to only play teams that will return the trip and play them at their place, which means no more trips to SEC country. Nice coup for them getting UW to play them at home. Their schedule actually isn't that bad because of something that you hit on - 13 games against the Pac 12 including three weekend series. They also have a series at UCSB, who should be better with the talent level according to their highly rated recruiting classes and are only a year removed from going to Omaha.

Saw a revised schedule for Fullerton and there was some shuffling around with the conference series. Fullerton is going up there May 4-6.

Apr. 6-8 - Fullerton @ UC Davis.

Fullerton's schedule hasn't been released yet but you can write that one down.
