Arkansas Pine Bluff - Tuesday Baseball Thread

Bottom line is to host we had-have to go 17-13 or better in the league. This loss or not. assuming we don't lay eggs in a bunch of other non conference games. Can we win 17 or more? That's the 10million dollar question.

Young guys have to realize you have to come to play every night. Learning lesson or reality. We will see.

If Tatum, Sexton, and Preston keep pitching like they have- we will be fine.

I think this loss hurts us more subjectively than it does objectively.

As Quaoarsking said, I think the RPI will be the same as it would be if we were 13-1 with a loss to Cincinnati instead. Your RPI doesn't suffer more due to bad losses. It just takes your record as a whole and your SOS as a whole.

Per Warren Nolan we dropped from 21 to 56 as I am typing this- it certainly may drop some more as the rest of the games today are finished.

But I think that's because we went from undefeated to having a loss at the same time our SOS dropped. I think that's why the drop was so far at once.

If we had lost to Cincy, our RPI would have come in a good bit lower than 21...then it would have dropped further simply by playing APB, even if we had won.

My point is, I think it would be 56 if we had lost to Cincy and beat APB, as well.

Rpi will sort itself out after league begins. Like I said, win 17 in league and we host, our rpi will do nothing but go up.

Probably, as long as that gets us to 40 overall.

40-15 (17-13), I would think, is good enough.

I really wouldn't even look at RPI for at least another month, maybe 2. It is absolutely meaningless right now.

But yes, our RPI would be listed as #56 right now no matter what at 13-1, regardless of who the 1 loss was, since all 14 games have been at home.

Don't tell them that. It douses the flames of the meltdown.
