Baseball rpi

[Duggie35]

Good Lord. For anyone thinking about complaining about our park, watch this video tour of the St. Peters baseball complex.

I used to rag on our old bathrooms and I haven't seen the new ones cuz there was yellow tape blocking the doorway last time I was there. I will no longer feel entitled after watching this.

After watching that video, I think I'll take making a road trip to St. Peter's off of my "bucket list"!

The question I have is, how the heck do you recruit to that??! Do they form the team from open tryouts from the student body, or do you just sign up for the team at freshman orientation?

To field a 35 man roster they do both.

I'm sure some of the guys on the roster may have not gotten any better offers and wanted to continue to play. And St. Peter's gave them that opportunity

Offers as in financial offers? I am wondering if there are actual baseball scholarships there. The roster only totals 23 players.

Well, either financial or otherwise. Just meant that St. Peter's was their only chance to continue playing the game.

No doubt.

Moved down to 50 Boyd's World, from 49. We are at the point in the season when more wins/losses have less effect. No doubt. It is what it is, at this point.

I did forget we still need to play ULM (239), which may hurt win or lose.

I suggest using Warren Nolan ... not Boyd's World. My calcs match Warren Nolan (and I know mine are correct). The Cajuns currently sit at #49 just ahead of Coastal Carolina.

The loss last night did have a significant effect on the Cajuns' RPI (loss of ~.0050). There was a large gap between the Cajuns' RPI in the 48th position and the 49th position before last night's game. Hence, the Cajuns had a bit of a buffer and only dropped one slot (though nearly two). But that buffer had now been spent ... there are a cluster of teams together in the 50's.

Today is a must-win.

A road sweep of ULM is basically an RPI wash. The operative term being road.

The reason why Boyd's RPI is slightly different than that of Warren Nolan's RPI ... Boyd does not include ties. There is just enough of a difference to vault Coastal Carolina over Louisiana in Boyd's RPI when you discard the tie each team possesses (ironically against each other).

One other thing to note, because this catches folks often ...

For some strange reason the NCAA does not factor home/road for tie games. Thus, both the Cajuns and Chanticleers obtain 0.5 wins and 0.5 losses for their tie game in Conway. The makeup of the formula, its application, and many inconsistencies (of which this is only one) never ceases to amaze.

So am i reading this properly, the same rpi the cubs had would not even get them in tourny much less host, is that not enough proof it is a stupid criteria?

You're comparing apples to potatoes.

That's almost like comparing college baseball rpi to rocks per inch on the beach or rednecks per inch in Ruston.
