Another RPI boosting series...
Not that it matters now. Gotta win the the conference tournament.

Only bad things that can possibly happen is 1) to get a key player injured 2) lose to a SWACer.
Hopefully the Dawgs rout these bums, and LB clears the bench getting some players some PT. You will note their non-conference record is 2-22.

Our RPI will go down with 2 wins. If we were sitting at 40 right now we’d be at 50+ with 2 wins. LB had to know this and our AD should have nixed it. Had to have something to do with season ticket sales just for extra home games.

Re: Preview: LA Tech vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff
I wonder why in what was essentially a practice game with another one tomorrow why any of the following pitchers don’t or hardly ever play Havern, Swistack, Harmon, Tarini, Magee, Roberson, Cooley, Dolby, Croft, Harris, Judice, Pierce, & Schexnaydre? I suppose the obvious answer is that they aren’t any good which leads to the second part of the question, can’t Fouts develop pitchers. Historically Tech pitches the same guys over and over until they’re worn out. Case in point this year could be Hooks who appears to be getting worse and worse.

Hooks and Nation got rocked last night. Our pitchers can't seem to deal with SWAC teams; Grambling hit 3 HRs and scored 6 runs, last night APB scored 6 runs, with one of their guys hitting his first HR of the season. These SWAC teams are HORRIBLE! Check out the whole list of RPI rankings and see which conference, along with the NEC, occupies all the bottom spots.
After getting up 10-1 the Dawgs slept-walked the rest of the way. Baseball is a funny sport, as Teddy Allen always says, "lots of twists and turns." Gotta put teams away, secure wins. This team lacks the killer instinct. Let's see what happens tonight. But I do know this, APB now thinks they can steal a win in Ruston.

So far Sharky’s Dawgs are playing. When you defend mediocrity and treat grown men like little boys then you get schooled by APB.

When your team is playing sucky and all looks lost...pray for rain. Prayers answered.

Re: Preview: LA Tech vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff
Tech has never fared very well against slow speed pitching, it’s our kryptonite. Something else Tech tends to do in all sports is play to our competition whether it’s above us or below us. We can play up to DB one day and then down to APB the next and no it’s not just baseball. That’s a lazy excuse for what’s really poor coaching preparation and lacking motivation. It doesn’t matter if it’s Burroughs or coach Crumbie.
