Baseball is in a good spot right now

[The Federalist Engineer]

4-5 is Three more wins than I expected at this time.

But more important than the W/L result, is the competitiveness versus Super Regional and Omaha contenders. There have been no Run-Rule loses or ridiculous 20 run loses. Being 4-5 versus Super Regional quality opponents with 6 games played on the Road means you don't suck.

Baring something extreme changing in the lineup, MSU has a very good shot to host a regional.

Good things that could happen:

(1) Dohm gets healthy
(2) Loftin pitches to pedigree
(3) Stevens bounces back
(4) Cupp, Chester, or Downs to 3B
(5) Hines back to his norm production (already happening)
(4) Parker continues to find optimal roles for Siary, Hardin, Auger, Dotson, Ligon, Davis

Downs isn't a sec inf. Give up a lot defensively.
