Pac-12 going down in flames mid-week.
Arizona fell to LMU yesterday 9-2
UCLA losing to UConn 5-2 in the 8th USC losing to Cal Baptist 3-2 in the 8th Arizona State losing to New Mexico 6-3 in the 7th Utah didn't lose to BYU, since that game got postponed.
Its up to the Cougs to salvage one tomorrow at UC-Riverside.
I just took a peak at the Pilots schedule, they got Maryland coming up on the bluff for a 3 game weekend series. I kid you not |

Duke losing to Rider, LSU losing to Stony Brook, Arkansas losing to James Madison. That’s just baseball. It’s why I was surprised when some Beaver fans seemed concerned with Beaver baseball after the NDSU and CSUN series (even when we swept both teams) just because they played us close in some games, and we had stretches where we didn’t play great. Those things are going to happen, even to the best of teams. |

Agree and it might not be that the ranked team didn't play great---Some of these lower level teams have one pretty good pitcher that on a good day can shut down most anyone! |

Midweeks are a good determination of a team overall depth at pitcher and health. Teams that can go the distance in Omaha usually have a midweek starter that could start weekends at other schools. Also if you are hitting depth issues due to injury you are likely to see it's affects mid week of game 3 of a series. Plenty of mid majors will pitch backwards (best for game 2 or 3) or use their best starter for midweek. It's easy RPI math for them and usually leads to a best on worse starter situation. |

30-0 in the conference, would be a great way to finish off a Pac12 Conference destroyed by greed & stupidity. It won't happen, but I can dream.😀 |

Except it's a midweek game for the other teams as well. So one would assume that the midweek pitching for, say Portland, wouldn't be as good as their weekend pitching just as that would be true for us or Hole.
Sure, depth is the issue. But still it's an issue for both teams.

He was saying that the mid-majors save their best starter for the mid-week games. I find that doubtful considering that the majority of them need to win their league in order to go to the tournament. It really doesn't matter what their RPI is, they're just trying to win their league to get in. |

Maybe the effect of the new travel schedule is already wearing on recruiting? I would assume it's the most obvious in the smaller less profitable sports because there's less to little money to pay for wins.

It really doesn't matter what their RPI is, they're just trying to win their league to get in. Did a bit of checking and it seems like that's only common for teams angling to host as a mid. So you might see it for a UC Irvine type. Many teams with weekend series will not match up their Ace for game 1 hoping to sneak a series win or at least get 1 win. Speaking in terms of playing against top 15 teams where their best pitcher is probably overmatched. |
