Author Message Deciduous Forest Cat General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Ohio Post Count: 4,399 Status: Offline     Huge Series win against Kent State...    Posted: 4/22/2018 4:45:54 PM  Thought this team was on cruise control to the bottom of the standings, but they won a big series this weekend at KSU. Another series loss and they were in danger of not making the MAC tournament. Hope this gets them rolling. Still more to be done.

Let's hope this big series win has the Cats ready for the stretch run to snag a spot in the tourney. As we know, all we need is a tourney birth and crazy things can happen.

Also only 1 game back of 3rd. A lot of teams grouped tight from 3-9. Another tough series this weekend against Miami, which is 2nd to Kent State right now.

So many close games. Going to be an exciting mad dash to the finish line.

So is this parity, or is the MAC just bad baseball?

I'd guess some of both, but it does appear the MAC is pretty bad. Other than Kent State, none of the MAC teams have performed very well out of conference. Kent State is the only MAC team with an RPI better than 177 (among less than 300 DI baseball teams).

Kent State is the only MAC team with an RPI better than 177 (among less than 300 DI baseball teams). Typically Smith goes with the "johnny whole-staff" approach to midweek games. He will use 7-9 different guys for the game. There are pros and cons with using this strategy, just a matter of each pitcher executing. Looking back at the mid-week schedule, the teams we played are pretty decent and every game was competitive. Morehead st is a strong mid-major, you got Ohio st, Marshall twice, and Dayton. All respectable opponents but also winnable games.

All respectable opponents but also winnable games. Marshall is .500, Dayton is 12-25 I feel you. I was generally speaking that these programs typically have talented rosters, year to year. Also why I said they are winnable games.

BG is 2 games back. The Bobcats host Ball State (10-8 MAC) this weekend.

If the tourney started today, all 3 would be seeded higher than us.

Ohio scored 4 runs in the series (after scoring only 7 in the Miami series). Western Michigan (9-10 MAC) is next.

So Ohio has some work to do. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

So Ohio has some work to do. I didn't hear about the format change. In that case, Ohio is 2 games back of 6th place Eastern Michigan now, which leaves almost no margin for error. Bobcats probably need to win five of six to have a shot, especially because Eastern Michigan won two of three from Ohio.
