Regarding Clint Fagan calling pitches behind the plate ...

One thing that was evident in this game regarding Clint Fagan … other than the strike zone opening up after Deggs had something to say … ...

Maybe that is why "I must be in the front row" (in my best Bob Uecker voice).

Meanwhile, Sun Belt Tournament tickets just came out. Grabbed my three tournament books ... just behind home plate (aisle) ... Section 111.

Thanks, you are welcome.

Winning every series 2/3 (and both midweek games) along with an undefeated run in the conference tournament is still not a hosting resume (for several reasons).

Take it...

The NCAA has since corrected this error.

Now comes the challenging part of the schedule and the opportunity for the Cajuns to make a move in the RPI, Q1 games, and their general postseason resume. Some quick projections ...

Let's assume...

Simply an additional metric for evaluation. Bonuses and penalties were removed from the RPI once the formula went to its current format utilizing a home/road multiplier (just the WP portion). Prior,...

Ignorance combined with stubbornness frustrates me. ;)

Brian

You got it. Such a sweep would currently have the Cajuns with a #32 RPI ranking. Winning 2/3 would be a #36 ranking (very tight with a number of teams). But most importantly ... Q1 wins.

Brian

Yes ... or .72131 as the WP portion of the formula.

Our OWP is a meager .50148 ... which is what is hurting the Cajuns. That will be going up shortly.

Brian

Yes. This is why I advocate for more road games on the schedule. The multiplier differential for road vs. home is absurd.

Brian

7 shutout innings from these two tonight.

Too bad we do not have a deep pitching staff. :rolleyes:

Jay mentioned that Aiden Vosburg (0-2 6.45 ERA, 22.1 IP, 10 APP, 2 GS, 29 H, 18K, 8 BB, 1 HB, .315 OBA) will be starting.

Brian

Stuprich would be the one to be concerned about.

Brian

Has anyone heard whether or not SLU might be throwing Stuprich (far and away their #1) tonight ... given that SLU has the weekend off?

Brian

For pure RPI purposes, ULM winning is better (slightly). But we wanted Tech to win tonight ... furthering the chances that Tech will move into the RPI Top 60 and allow the Cajuns to have a Q1 win.
