Them boys need to walk across the street to Dreamland for a nice meal.

I’m not a big desert guy so I’ll say if it’s better than the main course then it’s some outstanding ‘nanner puddin’.

Pitch to contact, eliminate the free outs, play behind the d and let the bats go to work boys!

Seems like a legit recipe for success.

I don't know a ton about baseball but I love this team...they play incredibly hard...just curious...if we somehow beat S.Miss twice...then lose in the championship...is there a chance of an at large bid?

Probably not. It’s a similar situation as with basketball where there are some good wins and atrocious losses. We are 73rd in RPI rankings with is 9th I the sunbelt and the coastal series being apps only quad 1 wins in the regular season (2-7 overall). With 33 at-large bids app is way outside the at-large conversation.

We’re 69th right now. 2 wins against Southern Miss (1st in SBC) would give us 2 quad 1 wins as they are mid 20’s RPI. We would be very close and probably on the bubble if we can beat them twice tomorrow. A lot of ifs, but we’d put ourselves back in the conversation. And maybe steal Troy or Coastal’s spot.

Just go 1-0 and see what happens.
Beating 3 potential NCAA tourney teams down the stretch would help.
Coastal, Troy, USM, USM.

Like you just thinking 1-0 right now and hope to beat USM. I personally don't think we can get in the at-large conversation because of the bad losses.

I did think this projection by Baseball America is interesting as it shows some respect for our league though. It looks like they feel we get 3 in for sure and could get a 4th team. I will be curious to see what happens if App or Georgia Southern somehow win the tournament: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories ... ment-week/

I remember when we’d get 2-3 comments on a weekend series thread. Incredible to see this growth.

It would have been nice to pull out that game vs Wake. That and a win over JMU would have put us in most likely.
When will "It's better than what we had" no longer be good enough for App State?
