Never thought I'd say this but we need a rain out to preserve our RPI
NCAA said they will note teams that cancel games for non weather reasons during NCAA tournament selection. With us being on the bubble of hosting probably better to just play this one, take the slight RPI hit and don't give them an easy excuse to not pick us as a host. Go 3-3/4-2 or better in the last two series and our RPI is probably good enough to host anyways.MoCoWolf said:
I gotta admit, I kinda thought this one would be cancelled.

Right so going 3-3/4-2 which we would need to do anyways gets us probably into the 15-18 range RPI wise. Our resume with that RPI would be an easy host IMOTr23 said:
Unfortunately the "slight rpi hit" will be ~35 rpi points if we win. That is minimum a 6 spot drop (likely 7 or 8 after all the other teams play today as well).
-100 rpi points for a loss would drop us 14 spots...
They are strong enough it doesnt matter. We aren't in the same boat.JCooke93 said:

Hope they agreed to a run rule. Does baseball RPI factor in margin of victory?
Isn't that a forfeit then?JCooke93 said:
They are playing Duke tonight but canceled their game tomorrow with vcu because of pitching they say lol

Looks like our RPI dropped 5 spots to number 24 as of now.
Off topic, but when looking at baseball RPIs I noticed that UMES (Maryland Eastern Shore) is 0-42 on the year. Not ideal.
Wow that seems a bit over the top.tau06 said:MoCoWolf said:They are strong enough it doesnt matter. We aren't in the same boat.JCooke93 said:

Praying we are the 2 seed in a regional with them. Would be easiest one we could get. They can't handle us over a weekend
Why do you say that? Would you prefer any of the other teams in the south that are set to host that we may be paired up with more than ECU? I'll take the lesser talented team that plays crap competition than an SEC team.

If we can squeeze out a 4-2 or 3-3 record over the next 2 series we will be hosting and that will keep us out of ECU's regional.StateFan2001 said:tau06 said:Why do you say that?

It was the they can't handle us part not the SEC teams vs ECU. I assume you are aware they are a likely top 8 seed and swept us this year. .

ECU just took the loss to Tulane in a series and hasn't played us on a weekend. Give me ECU all day. I don't think they can handle us in a weekend series.
