    Marshall Marshall Marshall. Sucks terribly. How’d we only score 6 runs that weekend. They’re down 8-0 in the 4th to mighty EKU. Belt sucking so far.

    These teams that don't have the pitching depth really suffer mid-week. Saving their arms that they do have for the weekend. Can't blame them.

    Mississippi State would be an interesting destination for the Cajuns...

    Clete Hartzog, Troy’s top middle reliever, is in the game now against Alabama State. He came on with two outs in the 4th. Hartzog also earned the opening game win at Coastal.

    If teams put more emphasis on winning mid week non-conference games such as throwing better arms, the entire Sun Belt would improve its conference RPI ranking as this would improve each team’s individual RPI ranking. Every conference goes .500 in conference games. Every game, 1 winner and 1 loser, every conference. What it comes down to is your non-conference schedule and winning percentage.
    Not sure why everyone wouldn’t just agree to throw their #1 mid week. Seems crazy but it would work.

    winning the non-conference schedule does not get you in a regional

    First priority is that there is not a sweep. If USM were a threat to take an at-large away from the Cajuns, I would say Coastal. But I do not think that will be the case (like it was with South Alabama in 2006 over the Cajuns due to RPI differential). As such, I would like to see USM take 2.

    Because not every team would play along. It would take full collusion to really work. But some teams would have Grambling or Prairie View A&M midweek and would come to the conclusion that they do not need their #1 to win and would save their top pitching for the conference weekend. This would proceed to break down the “unspoken” collusion piece by piece.

    I know, and you’re right it would take total buy in and it would never happen. But in theory, it’s genius. Haha

    Yes, another "gaming the system" example due to the exploitable RPI.
