Thunderin' Bolts @ Creighton

[SouthLincoln Husker]

It blows my mind that Creighton is 11-0 in midweek games and is currently not making the Big East tournament, whereas Nebraska sucks in midweek games, and just moved up(!) in the RPI after last night.

Just a guess, but RPI must consider weekend games being much more important and midweek as being developmental games.

We moved up because past opponents pulled off upsets as well. we get points as they get points.

if a team is Q2, we get x points for beating them, if they bump to  enter Q1, we then get credit for beating a Q1 team now instead of a Q2 team.

Our biggest fall in RPI this year had nothing to do with the series we played. 4 of our Q2 opponents got swept and went to Q3 that week.

It doesn't. It was a road game against a quad 1 opponent. Even though Creighton is in danger of not making their conference tournament, their RPI is still top 50.

While I agree he should have been out of the inning, You can't give up 5 hits after that. His ERA will say its not his fault and that shows why ERA is useless and WHIP is the true number for pitchers.

it was 1-1 with first and second with no outs 7 pitches into the game, cant let that turn into 6-1.

You could just look at the pitcher's RA.

nobody has any idea what these guys are battling and just assume beating Creighton is the end all be all
