Looking back at Chapman's record against SCIAC teams you will note that most of those losses came early in the season. IF, and that is a big IF, Chapman does join the SCIAC, those games would be scheduled later in the season, when Chapman has matured and is usually a much stronger team. But, everything is still an if.

Everything is still an IF (although I fully expect Chapman to join the SCIAC) and a loss is still a loss.  Remember, those games are early in the season for the SCIAC schools as well.

I know I watch all those games for the past 4 years.

Your are indeed correct they make the necessary adjustments. The worst year against the SCIAC was in 2009. They barely made into Pool B as one of the last teams. BUT they won the regionals and came 1 game/1 day away that year from playing on the last day for the national championship. SCIAC games are alway very competive for Chapman. They have to battle for every win with those teams who get up and play their best against Chapman. 

This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.  "There are three types of baseball players: those who make things happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened."

You mean like the game earlier this week where they faced a pitcher that had hardly thrown all year and threw their #2 against him?

This is why I'm looking forward to their series late in the year...get to see them go an entire series like against like for pitching.

Anyone have the current POOL B numbers. Only 2 spots this year so it will likely go down to the last weekend in this race.

I would say these are the Pool B contenders, listed by overall Win%. I included the teams that are receiving votes this time in the most right column.

Team   Conf         Win%         Rwin%         vs.Top45
Chapman   IND   22   5   0.815   14   5   0.737   1   2   0.333
St. John Fisher   E8   16   6   0.773   14   4   0.778   0   0   0.000
Maryville (Tenn.)   GSAC   22   9   0.710   20   8   0.714   2   2   0.500
Case Western Reserve   UAA   22   11   0.667   17   10   0.630   2   3   0.400
Emory   UAA   23   12   0.657   21   11   0.656   0   3   0.000

Pool B news.

It looks like Piedmont and probably Maryville and LaGrange will go to the USA South in 2012-13.

Having seen the numbers on the differences in the mechanics of D-III non-scholarship and the D-II partial scholarship model, I understand why Huntingdon might decide to move to D-II.  Besides, the Gulf South Conference would love to have another football playing member in the conference.

Thanks JohnnyU for crunching the numbers for Pool B. It would be nice if this was automated. On My Wish list is for D3 Baseball to set up a webpage showing the pool B teams standings with the overall, and in region winning percentage. It really is like a big national conference competing for playoff spots similar to Pool A conferences.

Thanks to all you effort on this JohnnyU.

I can get started on that -- can't get regional winning percentage in there, however, at least not initially.

Since I'm not the baseball guru, can someone confirm for me: Empire 8, Great South, independents and non-Rochester UAA, right? Anyone else?

Those are they.

Here is a really quick first brush at it:

I left out St. Joe's of Brooklyn (still provisional, right?) and Nebraska Wesleyan.

In-region record isn't an option in the out-of-the-box standings setup from Presto but I will request it.

In-region records require one or two more clicks. The in-region games should be correct on the team pages.

Crash is right. You need to add Baptist Bible and the five eligible CUNYAC teams.

Pat Coleman

Thanks. I didn't read back to see his message after he modified it.
