2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
The overrating of the east (yes including the SEC) is once again being made clear. The RPI vastly overrates the more interconnected east as Boyd Nation has shown but even his ISR suffers from the same issue to a much lesser degree. And yet some didn't want to listen when I said that barring any teams who finished in the lower half of their conference (or sub-.500) from the tournament was the right thing to do. Again, if you have proven to the best of our ability to know that you aren't even in the top half of your regional subset of teams YOU DO NOT BELONG IN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT.

That's what I was thinking. Let's sign their kids but don't even think about redshirting them. Play them before their knees explode.

Agreed. Scores belong on glasses (not cups) like the 1960s football titles. Ha

After all the wailing and gnashing of teeth we wake up on June 7th and the Astros are in first place by 2.5 games with the third best record in the AL at 35-28. Start of play on 6/7/24 we were 28-35 in third place, 7.5 games out.

I wouldn't say it's nice. He's still a dipshit.

Good lord I can't wait to see these last two posts interact. I want to see Diaz watch a screen say that the ball was 6.8 inches outside.

It's June and 25% of their wins have come in the past 48 hours. It's a great tweet.

If you only look at the current series and project out to the rest of the season, they are on pace to finish 112-50.- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Y'all are too kind. When someone tells you they're an idiot, believe them.- Texas Softball 2025 - Second to no one.
Awesome. Thought about joining the thread but just before I started composing my post Henry gave us the lead and I wasn't about to change any mojo. Then watched the 7th on my phone as my son drove us home from his scrimmage. He has a permit and hasn't been driving long so it was the first time I wasn't nervous about his driving because I had something more important to worry about.- Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread

Lol as if anyone needed any more proof of the incestuous SEC/ESPN relationship that has created the shitshow, Sankey presents "proof" using 5 metrics, 4 of which are published by ESPN using unpublished algorithms.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
This current scoreline validates my earlier arguments about not letting in bottom half conference teams into a national championship tournament. Therefore we can consider the argument closed, I have won, and any changes to this score and any future scores are irrelevant.- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

Target is being boycotted because they immediately announced a rollback of their DEI program. Which was amazingly tone deaf because they had greatly benefited from customer behavior after being a leader on social causes before. But I think net-net shopping at Target instead of Amazon for an item isn't something you should feel bad about.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Sure but that is just evidence that loading the tournament with a 16 team subset is even dumber because of the lack of interplay. When a team has proven itself to be in the lower half of that 16 team subset it's silly to put them in a national championship tournament.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Well I'm not doing anything, but I would shrink the baseball postseason too so that takes care of that. Baseball more than any other sport is designed for a long season and way more games to determine the best teams and therefore who should be a champion. Giving the 11th best team in a conference a chance to catch a 3 week hot streak is dumb.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
They were behind 6 (and 10) teams in just their conference. Perfectly reasonable to leave them out of any size national championship tournament.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
ISR is clearly superior to RPI and 100 better models can be designed (yes I have done so) but you will never get around midweek game weighting and injuries being issues. But I do think a rule about under .500 in conference teams being eliminated from at-large consideration would be awesome. It will obviously never happen because of the megapowerconference hell we live in but I would institute it day one if I ever had that power. If a team has demonstrably proven they're not even better than average in their own conference then why the hell should they be in a tournament to decide a national champion?- 2025 NCAA Baseball
Celebrating is fine. Staring down and talking shit directly at the opponent is not fine, although admittedly perhaps there were previous interactions that made it okay. But you can't run around the bases talking shit to everyone including the entire dugout, his ejection was absolutely the right thing to do. One of the umpire crew's responsibilities is to maintain control of the game. If you allow that and then the next batter is plunked, what do you think happens?- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Fuck you Dustin you absolute cunt. The fact that everyone associated with the vile Fox News propaganda that has demonized all immigrants is not already burning in hell is absolute proof there is no good and omnipotent God.- 2025 SEC Tournament
