Although many on this board believe an LSU Beaver matchup is inevitable we will need to get by the Demons of Northwestern State... non-conference record: 15-10, #225 Non-Con SOS and a Non-Con RPI #127. Beat #60 La Tech, lost two to TX A&M (1-6 & 6-7). Lost to LSU on a Tuesday 5-9 conference record: 18-12 and won the conference tourney overall, an RPI of #106 and a 7-6 record against top 100 rpi teams team BA of .271, good for a #136 national ranking tema ERA of 3.33, good for a #18 national ranking Prediction: Beavs win 8-1 FWIW: LSU goes against SD State who is #10 in BA (.305) and #63 in ERA (3.90) while LSU is #60 in BA (.285) and #141 in ERA (4.68). Prediction: Aztecs win 6-5 But, again, stats are for losers... |

I wouldn't bet against LSU - I think it is going to come down to us vs them for the regional. But this time I think we are going to finish the job in one game. Are they going to have challenges allowed for certain calls, because I am sure the Beaver coaches will be ready and willing to make them.

LSU is 8-17 on the road/neutral site this year Yeah but look at the level of competition they faced versus the RPI of the teams they're facing in our regional. Say what you will about the RPI, to a certain extent it does reflect capability. They're good matchup for us but I don't know if San Diego or that Northwestern team the demons I believe can cope with either of us. |

LSU's non-conference RPI SOS is #114 and their non-conference RPI rating is #72 as they went 18-8 in non-con... SD State's non-conference RPI SOS is #74 and their non-conference RPI rating is #34 as they went 18-7 in non-con... Although each team plays in their respective conference "bubble", to say that LSU has played better competition is incorrect when it comes to non-conference... SD State is the better team, on paper... |

Did you factor in the grips (Multiple Grip Factor aka MGF aka GTFO)? |

You are correct, I didn't factor in the multiple 'grips'; my thought was that the 'grip' post was referring to their circle-jerking and was not relevant to baseball... |

It's possible that the MWC is a conference of sub-par pitching that the LSU team will eat alive. |

It's possible that the MWC is a conference of sub-par pitching that the LSU team will eat alive. Stats can be very misleading - perhaps the SEC has good hitting and that's why they have one team in the top 22 in ERA... That's why stats are for losers... like me... |

They're good matchup for us but I don't know if San Diego or that Northwestern team the demons I believe can cope with either of us.

SD State's non-conference RPI SOS is #74 and their non-conference RPI rating is #34 as they went 18-7 in non-con... Although each team plays in their respective conference "bubble", to say that LSU has played better competition is incorrect when it comes to non-conference... SD State is the better team, on paper... Only if you read that part of the "paper"... read further on how many top 100, Top 50, Top 25 teams each played... who played in the tougher conference... who faced more high quality pitchers/hitters. LSU is 5-4 in their last 9 vs NCAA tourney teams all on the road or neutral site... #24 Auburn (1-2 roadies) SEC Tourney vs Miss St (W 8-5), #1 FL (L 4-3), #22 SC (W 6-4), #1 FL (W 11-0), #9 Ark (W 2-1), #4 Ole Miss (L 9-1) ... at least 23 games vs Top 25 teams at the time they played those teams. SDSU is 6-4 in their last 10 vs San Jose St (2-2 at home), Nevada (1-2 roadies... giving up 30 runs), MWC tourney (3-0 vs San Jose St, UNLV x 2). Without double checking rankings, I see one Top 25 opponent (according to the SDSU site) at game time, #4 Arkansas at home 5-1 loss. Granted, in a one game situation anything can happen, but if you read the complete 'paper' LSU is not only better, but far more experienced in facing quality teams and the post season. But... I guess it's why they play the games and not use stats/'paper' to determine the outcomes. |
