SB Final: UL 0, LSU 14

Good "point"

Case in point, every run makes a point.

Point taken.

When there is a bases loaded 'walk', why do they still call it a 'run'?

I'm excited to see what they will bring in after this season. But I feel there are plenty of bright spots ahead this spring before we get there.

This. Everyone is upset because of the run rule losses to teams with RPI of 4, 12 & 14. I am also eagerly anticipating next year. But THIS year, we have wins over RPI 18, 20 and 31 and close losses to RPI of 1, 1, 18 and 20. Our worst loss is to # 127 Sam Houston. Those are all good numbers. Not great, but certainly not anything to make me think we have fallen off into nothingness, as some here seem to believe.

As of today our SOS is 10. No one else in the SBC is close; the best of the rest is JMU at 23. Half of the conference is over 100 in SOS. Our opponents SOS is 40. Only TxSt [37] is better in conference. Troy [48] is the only other team in the conference better than 100. What this means is that we play tougher teams OOC than anyone else in the conference, and that those teams are more battle tested against good competition than all but one other conference team's opponents.

Am I concerned about our offensive production? Yes. Am I concerned about our pitching? Certainly. However, when competing against teams in the RPI range of our conference opponents we are 11-3. I see no reason to believe that we will do worse than that ratio in conference. That would be a conference record of 19-5. Most of us would be happy with that outcome, considering the turmoil surrounding the program this past offseason.

I’ll be jumping for joy with a 19-5 conference record.
