I don't really care much about Collegiate Baseball but it's always nice for someone to rank you high. Plus the national media uses them a lot and it'll tweek all the swamp kittens hard

For instance WN uses CBN for it's default rankings so this week it's show us #1 facing #23 Mizzou. I think the SECN uses the Coach's Poll though and that has yet to come out. I expect to see A&M 2 in that one as we were ahead of Vandy and behind LSU last week.

yep we're #2 this week and Mizzou didn't quite make the rankings in the coach's poll.

Btw, I just noticed that Penn State split a shortened series with #24 Indiana. They are going to be a blight on our RPI all year but that is pretty nice.

PV & SFA are the only schools outside the top 200 on our schedule and they're already out of the way. I wouldn't be shocked if SFA wona few and got inside the top 200.

DBU, Neb, and UH all look like very nice wins. Plus we still have Rice on the schedule. I know they're not weekend series, but these add up too.

I worried Dartmouth might come back to hurt us (RPI & SOS standpoint). They only have 1 win all year long.

there is no question our overall scheduled is looking awful. We really need them all to do better. On the bright side, even though they look bad, we took care of business. And that's the bottom line.

We have plent yof weakness.

We are weak defensively on the corners, especially 3rd. We are average as far as Friday & Saturday starters go. This is due to injuries, but shite happens and we roll with it. Our power has slowed down and if it doesn't come back then you can add that.

We are deep pitching, we have a great pen, we hit 1-9, and our base running decisions have been spot on almost all year (something that hasn't been true in years past)


Saw that with the fielding but didn't wanna come in sounding like "Y'all suck!" because that's far from true obviuosly.

Your Fri and Sat starters sure seem to be getting the job done. In fact, it doesn't look like a lot of difference or drop off from Fri to Sun. Mizzou is much the same.

No we do in fact kinda suck at the glove portion of the game. We've mostly chosen to go hitting over fielding and so far it's worked. But it's definitely an issue.

We've got a terrific bullpen and a good lineup that really grinds. We see a lot of pitches and it means we often see opposing starters rack of pitch counts allowing us into the bullpen.

But our starting pitching is not all that. Long is solid, not elite, but Kent is a good pitcher with below average stuff and Larkins is a fish with excellent stuff but is incredibly inconsistent. Between the two they got us 4.2 IP in the DH on Saturday. We definitely have questions there.

I like this team. It's a fun one to watch because of the way it's built. We should be in virtually every game. But I wouldn't say it's the kind that has no holes.

Not surprisingly Turner Larkins on the mound today for A&M. He threw so few pitches Sunday that this seems apt. Not sure if he'll be on a pitch limit or if this signals we may see Simonds Sunday

Just eye-balling UTSA's batting averages and slugging percentages ... the boys can hit.

yeah happy to see JM doing well there. They've actually played a pretty tough schedule so far winning a weekend series with ULaLa and losing one to UC Irvine. I'd love to see him build UTSA up to a perennial tournament team. They seem to be on the cusp right now

This is one game I really wish MJ was in the booth for

You've got to be a lot of fun to sit down and drink a beer with.

Said no one, ever.

Holy cow, man. Beat your head against the wall or something.

Thanks! I should have thought of that.

I guess that's a good start.
