And the tying run scores on a balk. You can’t make this shit up.

No one has Pac 12 network so you could and we’d have to believe you

So same 2 teams play again tonight?  Unless the pitchers go on strike?

How so?

We played UCLA and lost to them. Not sure why teams that you have lost to doing well would help your RPI but RPI is ridiculous and makes no sense so maybe it does.

Oh right. Vanderbilt has a meh record this year but have a high RPI because they got their asses kicked by a lot of very good teams.

Exactly. Hey I’m not saying it’s perfect but I prefer it to some jackasses voting for 8 hosts from the SEC and another 8 from the ACC.

Totally forgot about the game in Houston.

Yeah that was the game when Tanner Witt was a surprising late scratch and then we later learned the horrible truth.

Probably why I blocked it.

ULaLa is up 3-2 on Texas St after 5, with the winner to take on Georgia Southern in the final tomorrow.  ULaLa is at 58 in the rpi so if they manage to win the tournament they would bump someone from the bubble I would imagine.

It's a computer rating system. Teams you played winning always helps you (if they're playing a team that wasn't also on your schedule) whether you won or lost vs. them. 

It may be a marginal boost but OSU is really high in RPI and I think the last few top 8 spots are really tight with the teams after that. Every bit helps. 

This is assuming UCLA wouldn't somehow jump us seeding-wise - but I don't think that's remotely possible.

That would sure suck for West Virginia.

aggy down to #20 in RPI; we're up to #11.  

There will be much talk of boycotts and FOIA requests on Monday.

Texas lost to UCLA in a sporting event?  I was sure that had never happened (sorry, just in a mood, all negs deserved. Oh, and I was at both of these games).

ULaLa still up 3-2 going to the ninth.  Their starting pitcher is still in the game and just hit 130 pitches.

I don't know. You were down by 9 in the bottom of the 9th last time.

Bruins hold OSU PNW to 4 runs and 5 hits. 

Not sure they have the pitching for this one. I guess they could score 25 runs again. 

#581

So in that first game they set the combined runs record for a P12 game at 47.

The previous record was... 34. 

#582

ULaLa wins it 3-2.  Old boy threw 142 pitches in the CG win.

Well they found someone to get them 6 outs. Lot of ball left.

NM State and their 200+ RPI is about to get in the tournament by winning the WAC.  They lead ACU 7-1; ACU eliminated #25 GCU earlier in the day.  GCU is down to 51 in RPI, so they probably won't get a bid despite winning the WAC regular season by 4 games.

I would love to ban conference tournaments so shit like this doesn't happen.  

Speaking of some fucktarded bullshit, I present the Atlantic Sun conference, where they use a 3-game, two-bracket round-robin to decide the  4 teams to make the semifinals, which are single elimination.  So this year, Kennesaw went 1-2 in the round-robin, but advanced on a tie-breaker, won the SF, then handed regular season champ Liberty their only loss of the tournament to win the auto-bid.  So the team that went 3-2 won the tournament over the team that went 4-1.  But Fuck Liberty anyways.  It had to be God's will.

Eh. I get the sentiment but isn't it kind of fun for the NM State kids? And fun that Cinderellas can play their way in? 

I mean... was GCU going to make any noise anyway? I'm not going to weep for a team #51 in RPI missing the postseason. 

(I don't feel strongly one way or another - just playing devil's advocate)

Doesn't sound like it's going to impact anyone else, so who cares?

GCU has wins over Oregon State and Stanford, and two wins each over Arizona and Texas Tech, so yeah, they could make some noise.  

Regardless, not sure why you think it's good to throw away 30 conference games anyways.

Some 1-seed is now going to get to throw a midweek starter against NMSU next Friday, and save their top starters for the next two games, so I'm not sure how you think it doesn't impact anyone else.

Didn't say that. I see both sides of the argument and don't have a strong opinion either way. Sounds like they were on the bubble anyway - unless your argument is the regular season winner should get an autobid?

There would be conferences that would never - or very rarely - get teams to the postseason, though. And you'd wind up with like 17 teams from the SEC and B12 making it. Obviously the current format doesn't get the best 64 teams in, but it's how baseball and basketball are set up. It's a better model for the players despite not resulting in the best postseason product for viewers.

Well then clarify what you mean instead of just quoting something you already posted that doesn't answer my question.

Air Force wins their conference tournament.

Was surprised they only had a 15-15 conference record after what we saw in Austin.
