#25 LA Tech @ #17 LSU Tuesday Night

[dawg80]

Not as much as you might think.

+39 RPI points (+2 positions) for a win, -27 points (-8 positions) for a loss.

What!? I'm confused...

With the loss Tech loses 27 RPI points. Make it a drop of 7 RPI positions from #57 to #64 with just the impact of this one game.

Another gem by Leal. Another dud by the offense.

Can you give a loss to the offense instead of the pitcher because our pitchers dont deserve this.

I guess it is baseball when your team can forget to show up for the game!

See:

sometimes when playing a really strong opponent a win or a loss will increase RPI Rank and when playing a much weaker opponent a win or a loss will decrease RPI Rank.

Final 2-0 LSU.

Depends on how closely bunched teams are in RPI above and below.

Today the loss has the possibility to drop Tech more RPI positions than a win could have improved Tech's RPI position.

But a win always helps and a loss always hurts the RPI calculation just because of the 25% for a team's own weighted W-L pct.

Would have been nice! Good game, just came up on the short end of the score board!

Have you checked with Pawdawg to see if that #25 ranking is indeed, a #25 ranking?

I was never excited about the "ranking" because I know (like I did with Navy in after two losses in a row) that we are not a top 25 team.

I agree.

So disappointing that Tech seemingly never wins the big game. In this case just a matter of not hitting the ball.

Can't have baserunning errors with no baserunners!
