Not done
Regionals factor in? I thought it was over at the tourney. Thanks
counted all the way to the end.
Talk about a major flaw in the counting. This makes no sense at all. What about all the players that didn't make the tourney? They are just shit outta luck. The SEC triple crown isn't determined till the NCAA tournament is over despite every SEC game already being done. Haha did a ****ing monkey determine thisQuote:

Here are the stats going into regionals. Based on the first glance at teams in each regional w/o evaluating their actual pitching stats, Rooker will likely face much better pitching in the USM Regional than either Diechman or Spanberger. We probably have to at least win our regional for Rooker to keep his lead. A deep LSU run into the CWS will make it difficult to stay ahead of Diechman. Current rules suck, but they are what they are so best bet for us is to just keep winning.
AVG Rooker .404 Todd (AUB) .385
HR Rooker 21 Diechman (LSU) 19 Spanberger (ARK) 19
RBI Rooker 76 Deichman (LSU) 67 Shewmake (A&M) 65 Spanberger (ARK) 64
In my mind and many others that are not MSU fans, Rooker has won the SEC Triple Crown. The award should be given after the last game of the regular season.
That makes the most sense. But I suppose a potential winner has a chance to improve as well as go down if all games are considered.Quote:

With the way it is counted Rooker WILL NOT win the Triple Crown. He will miss on HRs more than likely.
If Rook has another like last Friday, he ain't winning it. My main hope is that he can still win the Golden Spikes Award. Several of the talking heads think its his to lose.

Who knew that the Hoover Met would be the place Triple Crowns go to die. Damn place is notorious for keeping balls in the yard. Not this year.
Exactly, what makes sense about the possibility of a guy who is leading in all categories but loses out because his team doesn't make the post-season while some other guy is able to continue piling up HRs and RBIs with a team that does make the post-season? Nothing about that makes sense.Quote:

They'll give it to Diechmann because he's LSU, and their deep run will allow him to get ahead in the numbers. They might win the National Championship. It'll be some bullshit.
This article from the NCAA http://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/ar...ionals-part-ii
references Rooker as already having won the SEC triple Crown. I'm gonna start calling him the winner.
MLB doesn't count postseason numbers into determining who the HR, RBI, AVG winners are and the SEC shouldn't either so let's make it official. Rooker is the triple crown winner!! Congrats Rooker and I expect MSU to announce it officially or I will be very disappointed in our lack of spine. Need a ruling on this from the SEC office this week please.Quote:
