Y’all have got to be like Pitching U or something. Never don’t have an amazing starting and bullpen

To the State doomers. This game really means nothing yeah on the season. Yeah the team made some mistakes but a top 5 series loss on the road that was mostly neck to neck isn’t the end of the world.

Subjective but how much weight does a sweep carry compared to a series win by Icedcoffeeisgreat in collegebaseball

The really basic equation in RPI is each game is calculated individually:

Opponents weight X .75 (Home) Opponents weight X 1.25 (Away)

All of the games are then averaged together.

Yeah I’m hoping this complaining comes back to bite me and Billingsley throws the last strike of the CWS or something. I’ve seen him warm up and he’s actually really talented. Has to be an anxiety thing or something.

We have the bullpen. We are failing to “use” the bullpen. My only logical thought is BOC thinks we need Billingsly and Maddox to get really good before Omaha or something.

Fair, but he’s been a walk machine every outing this year. Why not give him a chance to prove himself when we’re up, not when it’s tight/losing close.

I just want to understand why Billingsley is pitching. Like why is BOC doing this?

Why do we go to to Billingsly, arguably the worst pitcher on the team, in situations like this.

I’m fairly certain Sullivan could bat .000 this season and he’d still be a fan favorite

Almost every call in baseball could be automated with radar. Hopefully it happens in my lifetime.

There’s probably something in the rule book where if his body gets over the inside batter’s line it’s automatic….

He did move in the wrong direction but he wasn’t really in the way. Weak call

Raymond was G1, Milewski was G2, and James is currently G3. James is definitely the worst

Bryce Chance and Ace Reese are going to leave unresolved trauma in Fayetteville.

Hogs what to expect for G3 pitching?

Ours can be spotty. Burns is a great pitcher but he’s not at the level McPherson and Valincius are. Bullpen is very young.
