Shocks @ Cincinnati

[SB Shock]

I just did a search and dont remember where, but more importantly, where should I get it from?

Several places. The warren nolan you found is good because it provides "team sheets" and other host of tools. Boyds world, which has also the ISR which provides what has predictive capability between teams. Then there is the NCAA official RPI site.

Ah found it on Warren Nolan. Sorry bout that.

Not sure where you are getting your RPI, they are at 106

I don't know man, Cincinnasty has an RPI of 74. .

Not sure it means much at all, but with 11 of the first 15 conference games on the road against teams that were picked all around WSU (2, 4, 6) 9-6 looks pretty dang good vs 8-7, especially with top 10 ECU coming to town next week.

1-4 in Q1
0-4 in Q2
4-5 in Q3

Those numbers just don't look very good, if WSU goal is to be NCAA tournament team.

If the goal is just to beat preseason expectations - well that would probably have gotten Todd Butler an extension.

What if we actually split the Cincinnasty road series?!? What would that meeean?

1. WSU would get their Q3 record to 0.500 (5-5)
2. Solidify their position in 3rd place in the conference - which keeps them out of the ECU bracket

I don't know man, Cincinnasty has an RPI of 74. Splitting with them in an away series seems pretty darn good to me, but I fully admit I dont know squat about baseball RPI and away series. In my head it'd be a pretty amazing accomplishment considering how bad Friday went.

Certainly would be nice to restore our confidence heading into the monster series.

Our Junior and Senior leaders peed down their leg the past few games. Sitting down for a while this game, hopefully gave Wallace, Gibson, Van Vooren, and maybe a couple of others a better perspective. They’ve been disappointing, including Liam Eddy yesterday. Snavely was not as bad, but the opening pitcher used to be expected to “Set The Tone” for the series, so his start was a disappointment too.

OTOH, Jace Kaminska has made a case for starting the opening game and for sure, the first day.

Good call moving the game up to 10:00 AM as the rain was just starting to pick up a little in the bottom of the 9th.

Very well pitched game by the Shocks and did enough offensively to get it done especially late as they scored 4 of their 6 runs in the 7th , 8th and 9th. Still letting too many good scoring opportunities go to waste. For a team with not much power they don't really play small ball very well either.

The did what they had to do and now have chance to get a split tomorrow which would be a great outcome after having looked so bad on Friday.

Maybe road games are hard?

[WuDrWu]

Not a great game, but Jace was really solid and Stumpy and Haase finished what he started. Enough hitting to get a much needed win.

Honestly, given the lineup changes today, anything was possible but 6 straight losses seemed more than likely. Proud of the guys for showing some guts and getting one back on the road.

[Kung Wu]

I don't have answers. I just have questions.

Good game by the Shocks 6-1; both hitting and pitching
