Just an aside, Oregon State ace Ben Wetzler was arrested this weekend, charged with two misdemeanors.

whose real name is actually Ben Holmes. A college pitcher using an alias. How strange. He was the guy turned into the NCAA by the Phillies for using an agent after they drafted him last year.

Re: Baseball Rankings - 5/12
Greg Davis honored in CBN's poll as a Louisville Slugger National Player of the week. I did start another thread regarding that topic since I believe Davis is very deserving of the honor and should be hilighted for his efforts.

Not many lefties on ULM's staff. I think you give Davis 1 or 2 starts (1 at 1st, 1 at 3rd) this weekend regardless of lefty, righty.
Re: Baseball Rankings - 5/12
Aaron Fitt just drilled some dude who asked a dumb question on the Baseball America Chat.
"Jeff (DC): Is UL-Lafayette the most vulnerable National Seed? They have a nice record, but they haven't exactly dominated games against bad competition. Their pitching seems especially suspect and recently they had a run of 10 games where they outhit their opponent in only 2 of those games.
Aaron Fitt: Haven't dominated? They lead the nation in scoring margin (+4.2 runs per game) -- I'd say that's pretty dominant. They've had a few tighter games lately against Arkansas State and Texas State, but those are decent clubs that are second and third in the Sun Belt, and the Cajuns still won both series. No, I don't think the Cajuns are vulnerable at all; on the contrary, I think it will be extremely difficult for any team to go into Lafayette and win a regional or super, because they have a great home-field advantage. That team is built for its park, and they will be far more physical than anyone else they play."
Haha, awesome. http://www.baseballamerica.com/chat/?1399900234
Re: Baseball Rankings - 5/12
Holy smokes. He laid him out on that one. WOW.
Re: Baseball Rankings - 5/12
Ouch. Aaron took that guy to school.
Re: Baseball Rankings - 5/12
...and this tidbit about contending for a national seed.
"TCUDoug (Montgomery, AL): Is it a given that either Rice or TCU gets a national seed, and are they competing with each other for one? If so, how is that race shaping up? Is any other Lone Star program in the national seed conversation?
Aaron Fitt: I'd hesitate to say it's a "given" that one of them will be a national seed, because there's still a lot of competition for those eight spots; there are three very strong ACC contenders and there will probably be three strong SEC contenders (Florida, Ole Miss, and the Vandy/South Carolina series winner), plus Oregon State and Louisiana-Lafayette and Indiana. Frogs and Owls must both continue to play at a high level; and I do believe they are probably both competing for one spot. Right now, I lean toward TCU because it plays in a better league and is 14-8 vs. the top 50, vs. Rice's 8-9. And no, I don't see another team from the state in the national seed mix. Houston has a great RPI, but being in third place in the AAC (three games back, too) really hurts."
Re: Baseball Rankings - 5/12
I can see how this funbelt league is killing our RPI. Against d1 competition UL is +39 wins over 500 and rest of league totals to -19
Re: Baseball Rankings - 5/12
These guys all make it sound like we're a lock for a National Seed if we win out or close. Not sure I'm buying it, but I WANT to.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but we simply need to get out of this league.

Do what you did for softball and just don't believe what everyone else tells you.
