We agree 90%. Pretty good since if two people agree 100%, one of them is unnecessary. I agree that RPI has flaws that should be tweaked. The Warren Nolan has ELO which makes some tweaks. I don't "bash" it since it is numeric and not the eyeball test which would be SEC heavy in my conspiracy...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (again), but RPI is only based on this season's games and stats. The SEC just wins more OOC games and apparently their Opponents Winning % and Opponents Opponents Winning % are high enough that the SEC RPI is higher than the ACCs. The SEC clearly won more OOC...

Not targeting you for the trolling. Just pointing out there are lots of opinions. Some of which matter. Mine doesn't but I can guess how the selection committee is going to think. You pointed out (I think it was you) that D1 thinks we need to win 2 @FSU (up 2 going into ACCT) or 1@FSU and 1...

Agree with silliness of us about tournament projections with a week plus ACCT to play. Glad we don't play tonight for the team with limited upside. (I'll be able to catch up on the Giro.) I recognize the hyperbole on the 12 SEC teams, but might as well feed the conspiracy stuff. The SEC...

Guys & Gals, if you want to complain about our RPI of 48, then ***** about the coaches poll which goes to 45 and apparently doesn't include us either. My point is we have had downs and ups and overall are very very much a bubble team.

As I said 8 years ago, the book was well written and thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you again. What I liked was it was written from a Philistine (i.e. outside GT) point of view which gave it more authenticity (to me at least). And politics and protecting the bureaucracy are everywhere. Also...

We agree. But like rainbows and unicorns, we've had 49 games to get our pitching kicked into gear. It could have and has in fits and starts to be blown up by pitchers not being pulled quick enough. I have seen the emotion and desire of our pitchers to kick it up a gear; it's easy to say what...

Agree no discernable chance of us making a top 4 seed. And it is much more likely for us to get swept @FSU than sweep. (Duh) I think we are most likely to end up winning 1 @ FSU and with a 15-15 ACC record. Then the ACCT performance will come into play. Lose 2 there and we may not get a...

And that series is what makes RPI and predicting college baseball next to impossible. This is NOT major league baseball where players talents are more fully developed / steady and you aren't making a largely new team for each 60 game year. Anyway, it's all good. We control our destiny to make...

Just think about the Serenity Prayer. If the RPI was a major CFB ranking method, the SEC wouldn't play so many cupcakes OOC.

Here's the ACC tonight. Sure are a lot in the middle:

Yes given 500 ACC. But if we lose both ACCT games, maybe not. Truly a bubble team.

We have played 46 games other than Duke. How they did this weekend matters a lot. Plus we only won 1.4 games against Duke ....... also RPI doesn't care when the games are played. Danny needs to schedule tougher OOC. Period. Duke's RPI is down to 23. GREAT series win. We've won 5 of the...

Duke starter today. Since he was out the month of April, probably won't go long ......... he apparently throws strikes.

Jesus, a 455 RISP isn't good enough to get it done? As you said, not the problem. I wish we had bunted more with runners on third ...... {:troll}

Thanks, I've seen OF rated with 100 mph throws but they have a much better stance and can probably use much more of their body. So less for catchers makes sense. I only have an uncalibrated eyeball. FWIW, Warren Nolan has us winning the game today by a run, 7-6. Given the pitching staffs for...

Duke will not make it out of a regional if they don't get Scarlucci back. Even if they do it will be very tough without another effective starter (at least we haven't seen one until this afternoon). I am not impressed with Duke's pitching and think they are the case of a team which was far...

I looked at a bunch of times and guess it would have been chest high. So not a perfect classic throw several feet up, but it would have hit runner at a couple feet up. Just a guess. What do people guess the velo was - 100mph?

Unlikely, but they both are probably good at bocce

Here's the announced Dukie starter today. Notice the trend? We were fortunate that the Dukie announced started yesterday Santucci didn't start but a short reliever Higgins did. Could Santucci pitch this weekend, did anyone hear? We speculated that Duke moved their Sunday rotation to Friday...
