Saint Peters Peacocks The Weekend That Was

[GoneGolfin]

And to be more specific about the effect of playing last night's game ... it is not about the # of ranking spots dropped. That has several variables unrelated to the Cajuns' RPI. It is the drop of the Cajuns' RPI itself and specifically the SOS component (2/3 OWP and 1/3 OOWP). Immediately after adding last night's game, the Cajuns' SOS dropped from .5934 to .5613 ... partly because it is early and partly because you are adding a .0000 and another very low number to the mix (.2731 before last night's results).

Adding in today's game dropped the Cajuns' SOS from .5613 to .5268 (#104). RPI drops to .5640.

SOS dropping from .5934 to .5268 is brutal.

Meanwhile, the Sun Belt OWP contribution to the Cajuns' RPI is still below .5000 entering play today at .4997. .5000 is not a healthy mark. The Sun Belt teams OOC contribution to the Cajuns' OWP was a solid .53840 last season. This ... in conjunction with the Cajuns' #1 NC OWP and #40 OOWP (#7 NC RPI) got them to #15 in the country last season.

Good news locally for UL RPI. SLU takes the UNO series 8/0, 8/3.

Southern Miss and Sam Houston both won their weekend series as well today.

Pinny is in a groove right now. Great to see Kennon raking, and Kasuls hit some balls on the button today. Also Monica had productive ABs. I think Sensley needs to sit awhile. He is an absolute liability in RF and he is not having good ABs. Troubling to say the least.

I was actually impressed with St. Peter's today. They know (now) how out gunned they are, but they came out to win today.

I agree with assessment of SPU. They looked much better in g2. Perhaps there is hope they can finish close to .500...I sat behind a few SPU dads and talked to them throughout the game -they don't expect to be great but do expect to be much better than last year. They also commented on how well we play defense - citing that as the biggest problem in past years for SPU

I'll be interested to see if SPU can win a few games the next few weeka - if so, that should help immediately with OWP.

They didn't know it but after today, Saint Peter's will have a bunch of new fans in Lafayette

I'd be interested to know how often they play on carpet. It seems like they are having a tough time adjusting.

On that same note, considering the weather up in NJ, wouldn't it benefit the Northeastern schools to play on a synthetic field?

I think SPU will win some games.. The team is not terrible but they showing that they just started playing their season. Playing us is the best thing for their future success and worst thing for our short term rpi. I will be on a SPU watch during rest of season

They have some guys in the pen that are not bad. If they would have played better defense, we would have scored about 6 runs on Friday and 4 yesterday.

Why the hell does he continue to get at bats? This is a huge game to be giving away free automatic outs.

I don't care if it's Lefty/Lefty with Kasuls...it can be soft toss to Antchak and I'd rather take my chances with Kasuls at this point

I trust in Robe & staff.

I' sure they see or know something we do not.
