And of course we keep it on with 2 strikes and Choruby punch bunts it foul

FFS, if we're going to continue with this dumb arse shite, at least let's look like we practice it

Agreed. Failing to land a national seed last year hurt us. But getting the 4 national seed instead of the 1-3? I'd argue that doesn't appreciably affect us one way or another. We've got home field all the way to the CWS and as good a bracket as we could ask for. And if we get to Omaha, all the teams will be good so it's not like we could have scored a free W by getting a 1v8 or 2v7 game.

Also, it's not like we would get matched up with a quality opponent in the 4/5 game either...

LSU > TTU so once again the 4 seed got the more favorable match up.

for people that like to dismiss the importance of the RPI, looks like the committee went straight to it to sort out the top 4 seeds.

What do yall think of our regional? I dont think we could have asked for a better draw. I bet we play the 3 seed again this year in the final.

Pingpongham is a shitty 4 so that is good to avoid a 4 seed with a true ace.

Minny is one of the, if not the, worst 2 seed in the tourney.

Wake is one of the better 3 seeds. They're the real 2 seed and Minny is the 3, lets be real. They can mash and have one of the best hitters in CBB. However their pitching is suspect. I think their team ERA was close to 5. Ours is just over 3.

We should score 10+ easy on Wake, the two most likely pitchers to face us if we meet have 4+ ERAs and their bullpen is awful looking at the stats.

Binghamton appears to be awful. 108 RPI. No games vs a top 50 RPI all season. 13-22 on the road for the year. I imagine they are going to be shellshocked at Olsen. Finally, they can hit, but they've given up 10+ runs on Friday nights like 4-5 times so their "ace" clearly isn't very good

Minnesota as a 2 is a gift. They won the B1G but went 3-4 on the year vs top 50 and come in having lost 5 of 6. Their RPI of 50 is one of the highest at-large in the field yet they somehow got a 2-seed.

Wake Forest comes from the ACC so you know they've played some big time talent. Wake finished 13-17 in conference but with a 25 RPI. They've got some good series wins (UNC, Duke, FSU) but they've struggled on the road (12-15). They appear to depend on bats more than pitching and I think that heavily favors us.

All in all, it looks like a really great set up for us

We need to give Eric Hyman a front row seat for when we sweep TCU in the supers.
