On the subject of who takes over at UTT after James leaves I have not clue but hope for Stan Smith. 

I do not know the staff at UTT very well, but I am hearing that the pitching coach is a front runner.  Is that Stan Smith?  If not who is it?

Ralph may have the stats but I think it was 4 years ago that we had 2 teams I think it was TLU and UTD but that might have been 5 years ago.

I think the year was 2007, I dont think UTT was not eligible and TLU won the tournament by shutting out McMurry in the final.  UTD did not even get to the final and was even run ruled by McMurry to get put out.  McM beat UTD 3 out of 5 times that year.
From our prospective I can not explain the selection process, how did UTD get in that year after being run ruled in the tournament and it was played at UTD's field; then you have other years when only one ASC team gets in?

In conclusion, I still think one team even if MC does not win the championship.  I hope I am wrong.  But whoever gets in I hope they go deep into the West Regional or wins it.

Changing the subject here for a minute and being curious but any word or rumor about who will be taking over at UTT??

Congrats to the final 4 who will play for all the marbles this weekend.

I think Mississippi College and TLU have to be the favorites because of pitching depth. Orosey vs Seaman game one could be very interesting. The winner of this game I predict will win the whole thing.

I see it as follows:

MC over TLU
UTT over HSU

TLU over HSU
MC over UTT

TLU over UTT

MC over TLU

Ive been wrong alot this year so take that with a grain of salt!

I will jump in:

MC over TLU
HSU over UTT

TLU over UTT
MC over HSU

TLU over HSU

TLU over MC

MC over TLU

1 bid for MC and no one else gets in.  That hurts me to say but I think we just the Champ in and that is it

What could be very interesting in the UMHB/MC series is the fact that theres a chance only one game gets completed.

I was at the 2006 playoff series between McM(West 4 seed)? & MC(East 1 seed)? when they played on Friday and McM won and then it started raining, back and forth to the field on Saturday and Sunday but they did finish the series and it went to the third game.  I think they will do everything in their power to complete the series

I have a weird feeling that UMHB and Miss. College will be a closer series than most will think. Both teams are very familiar with eachother. UMHB played and pitched very well down the stretch. If they continue to pitch and play good defense, I think this one could go down to the last inning of game 3.

I never make UMHB predictions, but Ill predict the outcome of the other 3 series.

HSU over Louisiana in 2
UTD upset over TLU in 3 (HSU hosts the 2nd round)
Tyler over McMurry in 2

I have been lucky enough to see all of the playoff teams in action except LC and MC.  So here you go:

TLU over UTD, UTD does not have enough pitching
HSU over LC, not sure about pitching staff depth on HSU
MC over UMHB, best matchup by far, may come down to defense and that may be the CRU's downfall
UT over McM, playing for the coach but if McM gets to Willard and wins game one it could be a dogfight just like last year(upset???)

Looks like the west is starting to take shape finally.  It seems that the top 4 teams have separated from the rest.  Things can still happen, but it looks like the only positions changes of relevence will be between the top 4.

CTX looks like they had  really disappointing season.  I dont know what happened there. 

tloc I agree with you and don't know what happened to ctx.  I thought starting the season they were the top of the west.  And when ASC West started I thought they would be standing atop the list when it was all done.

my bad 15-14 umhb not tlu sorry about that

tlu took 2 of 3 final in game 3 was 15-14 tlu

mcm sweeps

any score from the tlu/umhb 1st game

We're new to D3 and I'm trying to figure out how the post season works.  My son is a freshman, although playing quite a bit and doing quite well    I understand how the conference tournament works and that the winner of that gets an automatic bid to the Regional tournament but what I don't understand is the talk I hear of at-large bids and Pool C, etc.  Can someone please enlighten me.  Where do the at-large bids go and how are they determined?

I would try but I would just confuse both of us.  Ralph T or Just some guy will need to answer your question about at large bids.

Just an overall observation. The ASC in general  does not have much pitching depth with the possible exception of UTT. Even UTT will be suspect if Booher is hurt and cannot play in May.  The lack of depth means the non-weekend games all season long will be unpredictable. It also likely means that teams will have so so in region records and thus will hae played themselves out of any pool play consideration. If so then they will have have placed all of their eggs into the conference tournament basket, a very risky proposition in a winner take all tournament environment. 

I agreed with most of what you said, I will add that I think alot of the teams are pitching freshman and sophs during the week.  Maybe someone steps forward there.  I think last year was a perfect example of how the post season is a crap shoot.  utt was ranked all last year in the top 15/10 and did not get an at large bid.  I think the biggest reason is the east is weak top to bottom even though utt maybe the cream of the crop in the entire ASC.  Even the polls are in my opinion like all other polls bias(east & north).  IF Booher is hurt then utt will have to move a weekday starter to his spot or pull someone out of the bullpen either way that may change the outcome of some of their week day games.

ps indian leave some tenders, piglet

i was just looking at the stats from utt & mcm what happened to Booher he was pulled in the first inning was it control issues or some kind of injury.  he a horse and i was not at the game just wondering out loud.

does anyone have scores from ctx on saturday?

Abilene update - bottom of 2nd utt 4 mcm 1  still no details.  statman may be at the basketball playoff game
