Patience and goodwill towards the WSU baseball program looks to be running out. WSU still on the radar but another bad weak and they will be an afterthought.

WSU wasted any prestige with their earlier mid-week wins with their meltdown against Penn St. BA and NCBWA were not impressed and WSU did not move into their polls. Collegiate Baseball did move WSU up 2 spots.

But probably the biggest indicator was WSU almost dropped out of Coaches poll as they dropped 13 spots. Only 3 votes. I would say the word is out Nationally - WSU is not an elite program in the nation and nobody is impressed.


Coaches Poll

47. WSU (Down 13 spots, only 3 votes )

Baseball America

Not Ranked - Arizona dropped 4 because of WSU

Collegiate Baseball

24. WSU (Up 2)

NCBWA

Yes, I slacked this week. Maybe unconsciously since I knew there were no good news on this front. But there was a little good news with the Coaches Poll.

I guess really we can hope is that WSU can do well in Hawaii and keep on the radar and then hope they can dominate the MVC and make a move up in the polls. That is probably more wishfull thinking on my part.


Coaches Poll

34. WSU (I almost missed this, but WSU moved up big)

Yeah, we seem to hit poll stagnation when we get to conference play, as far as winning and moving up goes.

Gotta establish ourselves long before we start playing in the MVC High School Varsity league.

I would also like to see no more cupcake teams at the beginning of our schedule. If it takes heading south to open play so be it, but playing the likes of Niagra and North Dakota does nothing for this team. What is more important, 3000 in paid revenue for 6 games or getting this team playing better competition early that may improve our rpi that may be parlayed at the end of the season into an at-large selection?

I am going out on a limb here, but I will say it anyway. The Valley will get two teams into the tournament this year.

Mvc is ranked 15th
Highest rpi teams is

Wsu at 70
Cu at 88
Evansville at 90

That does not look like a 2 bid league right now.

I know, that is why I'm going out on a limb :)

This will be the last update for the year unless something happens and this team runs off a long streak to climb back in.

I used to remember looking forward to poll day to come and see where WSU was in the poll and see what games you needed to scoreboard watch for WSU to possibly move up next week - but this program seems to suck any joy out of following them.

Coaches Poll

UNRANKED (Reality finally caught up)

Baseball America

UNRANKED - Arizona continues to drop (down 4 to 22)

Collegiate Baseball

UNRANKED (was 28th)

I totally agree. If the Shox were out on the field playing solid ball and just getting beat by better teams, I can handle that. What I can't take is the abnormally large amount of poor hitting, getting struck out, walks to opposing hitters and committing errors that make them hard to watch and listen to. If you are going to go down, go down swinging with your best effort, not by handing the game to the other team.
