Baseball is/was getting awfully close to "2 before 1"

[DieHard 1280]

Basically, winning 2/3 of your games is playing successfully in baseball. I think we need to win the next 2 to be at that level. That would put us at 22 and 11. Have to win today before we can think of winning 2.

Maybe we get there next week. Sweep doesn't look to be in order today.

Edit: Sweep is definitely not in order. A day after CC's gem, ASU hangs16 on us.

11 runs should win every game.

[Turbine]

Right now they are...

4-0
6-1
8-2
10-3

...away from two before one.

That loss today was a RPI killer just like any other loss will be for the rest of season. I really think we need to win the tourney to get in.

A loss is a loss. If you made this loss to Arkansas State a win and made one of the Coast Carolina wins (or the TCU win) a loss, it would amount to the same regarding the RPI.

It is the weak SOS down the stretch that is the killer.

I would like to see us treating these games as must wins ... rather than treating them as "development" opportunities. Throw your best at the opposition and seize the momentum early in the game. Then if you build a comfortable lead, you have the luxury to develop some players/pitchers.

You mean running 3 freshman arms out there wasn’t a must win mentality?? And having a guy batting .000 in the cleanup spot isn’t a must win mentality??

When was the last time a D1 baseball team hit 7 HRs and lost??

.....one of the craziest games I have seen.....one of the most courageous efforts I have seen going for the ball in centerfield and hitting the wall....it was a flash but looked like he had possession before the fence contact.....regardless great effort.....was there any records for homers in an inning? Anyway...keep it going guys!

It's only happened like 3 times in the big leagues. Not sure about D1 though
