Glad they're saving Sheffield and Wright, though.

Awesome.

yeah that's pretty interesting. Do you remember what year they switched the RPI formula?

Ulala makes a lot of sense to be matched up with. Tulane too if they get one.

The problem is I think ULaLa is the 16th host so if you bump up Tulane, you probably drop Lafayette. And since D1 has Tulane as the 2 seed at ULL, the effect is the same.

If somehow they were both hosts, I could see State getting Tulane since they can't be paired with OM or LSU. D1 has them paired with Clemson but I don't think that is in range.
quote:

If you look at high 2s that could be 1s then you have DBU, OSU (maybe?), TCU,

I can't see OSU at a 28 RPI. Losing record vs top 50. Losing record vs 50-100. Only 2 top 100 RPI series wins all year. Ick

DBU is 1-4 vs top 50 and has a 31 RPI. They are a conference winner and went 14-4 vs 50-100 so maybe but man that seems a reach. If you are going to reach that far it seems logical to do so with a geographical advantage

So as I look at it in more detail, it seems almost a given we'll be paired with ULaLa if they host.

On that note, assuming 7 of the 16 regionals being SEC and since SEC schools can't be paired in Supers, 7 of the 8 Supers would have an SEC team slotted into it and we may not get another SEC team that makes the tourney.

Interesting times we're in

We've been hitting the ball well right at people most of the game. Now its getting late and we can't even seem to do that anymore.

Banks rbi ties it up 4-4.
Really glad to see him holding the bat lower. Just like with the golf swing, fewer moving parts is generally a good thing.

Tied it 4-4. We can get Banks home, I say you bring in Ecker to close out the last 3 inning. A win today is all you need. That gives Hill & Simonds their normal starts and we can rest Ecker & Vinson and give us a chance to use a few deeper guys in the pen in "big" situations.

Vandy pinch-hit solo shot off Ecker gives them the lead.

ok - things that bunt K pisses me off

1) it's a tournament format and we're playing for extras
2) Homan has been one of our best hitters on the day
3) Homan looked completely incompetent trying to bunt on the 1st two strikes
4) steal the fricking bag

First time checking in this thread.

Are we going to host a super regional?

We should be a national seed, yes. We just have to get there.
