Quote from: DagarmanSpartan on May 20, 2025, 10:10:01 AMWhen exactly is this "cliff" supposed to hit?

The cliff started after the 2008 recession, so 2008+17 = 2025 as the peak.

Hope that helps.

Obstetrically speaking Mr Coleman, you are absolutely correct!

#19; #80; Rhodes A* #40 SAA

Rhodes had won 2 games in the SAA tourney and had beaten both Millsaps and Centre. Thus, they won a "single elimination" tourney. I honestly believe that 2 losses in a double elimination tourney would have dropped them below Redlands at #43. Millsaps at #23 and Centre at #13 could have sustained another loss and still earned a Pool C bid.

A* Rhodes won the Pool A bid due to Rain outs which canceled the completion of the SAA tourney
Emboldened NPI rankings are lower than the team's NPI, a nominal upset.

Top of the 8th
Trinity gets 2 HRs of ETBU pitcher Carson Speegle in 0.2 IP.
TU goes up 4-3.

All 7 runs in the game scored on HRs.
Going to the bottom of the 8th.

ETBU's Luke Bumpus clears the left field screen. ETBU 3-1, no out, bottom of the 6th.

At Game 7, ETBU's Ben Lee hit a HR OVER the 60' screen that protects the scoreboard in left field.

ETBU 2 Trinity TX 1. ETBU batting in the bottom of 5th.

Two great games...

ETBU -Huntingdon was back and forth. ETBU ties in the bottom of the 8th on an Hunter Rumachik 2-run HR. HC goes up 8-7 in the 9th and then Rumachik delivers another 2-run HR with 2 outs to win it in the bottom of the 9th.

Quote from: Bmo on May 16, 2025, 07:38:56 PMGood for McMurry, but not the best look for the tournament as a whole. There shouldn't be 15s and 30s thrown up in a regional, especially with at-large teams on the receiving end.

I'd take it a step further and say especially in the first game of a Regional. I've seen some lopsided scores later in Regionals, but those are typically in elimination games when teams are out of pitching.

Oh I agree. I believe we see that especially in the teams whose NPI's were in the 60's and lower, the one-bid conferences. They had a strong #1 pitcher who carried the team thru conference play and the tourney. Sometimes that #1 pulls an upset in the first round of the playoffs or holds the higher seed close. The Bethany Lutheran 4-2 loss to UW-L, the 5-2 loss by Bridgewater St to Endicott and 4-2 loss by Husson to Kean were examples for me.

My concern for McMurry is the bullpen and to a lesser degree, defense. I believe that the box score was incorrect. I thought that McMurry deserved a second error in the last innings, leading to an unearned run.
