Not in any given year, no. But we've established a pattern here. If games were settled by coin flip rather than playing baseball, we'd have been expected to be in 2+ super regionals and one CWS since 2006. Instead we haven't made one super regional, and we haven't even played in games where we...

Such as?

He nearly single-handedly won the entire tournament for his team. If you think that's a weird way to give an MVP award, we should probably just stop debating. He had 7 RBIs even not including the walkoff HR, you know.

RPI isn't the be-all, end-all. Coming into the weekend, Auburn was 15-21 (.417) against teams in the top 50 RPI, whereas FSU was 9-11 (.450). FSU's winning percentage was higher, although perhaps not meaningfully. But Auburn's RPI was definitely helped by playing (and losing to) good teams like...

There’s no way one strike ever increases a team’s chances of wining a tournament 8 fold.

My argument is that the team that goes 2-0 wins the regional about 80% of the time. If you're 1-1, you have about a 10% chance of winning the regional. He sent his team from a 10% to 80% chance in one swing. If that's not the 'most impactful player in the Region', then, well, I don't know what...

By that measure, so did Tristin. He went 7 of 8 I think against the 3 and 4 seeds. He had a great performance, but to the the victor to the spoils. Sometimes a hit in a critical situation is worth 3 sometime else. His one swing with two strikes put the regional away.

Losing with a 3 run lead in the ninth is literally the definition of ‘blowing it’ (well, if it’d been a different pitcher anyway).

2 hits? He was 6 of 13 with 10 RBI, including the walkoff to essentially win the regional.

Not thinking it should go to Steven Williams is insane.

Yeah, I’d buy more of the arguments if it weren’t a pattern. Plenty of teams win regionals in Atlanta. All of them since 2006, actually. But never win them on the road. #1 seeds don’t seem to have a problem when we’re their #2.

10-1, FSU. Final.

8-0 in the 2nd. Hopefully we can win this game after leading in the 9th :D

Also, averages are very misleading here. For example, the average's pitcher's stats changed as follows from 2017 to 2018 (guys who pitched 5.0 IP+ in both years): BAA: + .010 ERA: -0.18 WHIP: -0.06 This, on the surface isn't so bad- it looks like at least we didn't regress. However, if you...

Here's IP and also (because I was curious) HBP/IP. One thing our guys have gotten better at the past 2 years is beaning people o_O

If you want it in graphical form: Caveats: I included only 2016-2018 since before that the stats on the GT website were posted in a different format (I did this programmatically in python/R). Only used guys with at least 5.0 IP in 2 0f the 3 years WHIP will be slightly off since I didn't...

I just really hope the program can survive the last years of the CDH era. Something consistently great (at least in the regular season) is being turned into something consistently mediocre. I was optimistic that if CDH left this year or last that the program could rebound. Not sure I'll feel...

Upvoted for the commentary, not the fact itself :(

Duke trailed in every game they played in the regional. Including being down by three in the ninth in their first elimination game.

What a gutsy performance by Duke. And what a Danny Hallesque performance by Stricklin’s club.
