Even if it is I don't think many of us expected to host anything this year. The RPI's of our SEC opponents should be very high. LSU, Arkansas, and Texas A&M should easily be top 20 and very likely top 10. A win or two there helps. Most SEC teams we play will be in the top 50. Except maybe Mizzou and Ole Miss.
So at the end of the day it comes down to SEC wins and how we do there. We just have to make sure we win enough OOC games to stay over .500 which we likely will.
And like basketball your last ten games count. Meaning Mizzou is way more potentially damaging than Austin Peay no matter how they end up.
I'm guessing that unless we tank again we end up in the top 50 RPI more than likely if we play up to our potential as a team.
Yeah, and they almost no hit us. LOL Luckily, we were able to scratch out a win in that game, thanks mostly to our pitching. So, the point is valid - pitching is improved and does not seem to be our problem this year. Hopefully the bats come around, because, frankly, they have been putrid so far. And that's against some really bad competition. We have a looooong way to go if we hope to hit SEC pitching. USM is going to be interesting to watch this week.
Mississippi Southern has the same record as MSU and is hitting .239 as a team against the likes of Marist, Indiana State, and Missouri State. Not sure i'd call that playing well if you are trying to prop them up above MSU.
And on a related note we're starting Karson Ligon tomorrow. We need to get him going.
