Well, considering no one starts in the loser's bracket because every team starts the CWS with a 0-0 record, I'd say your horribly wrong.

Basically losing either of the first two games in a four team double elimination bracket puts a team behind the eight ball. If you lose the first game you have to win four straight, if you lose the second game after winning the first one, you have to win three straight. Either way a 4-1 record is required to make the finals.
Hopefully the opponent is not 3-0 at that point and in their normal rotation.

Obviously he meant to word it "came out of the loser's bracket," which would have accounted for the other 5. But yay nitpicking.
Well that's not what he said. If he's trying to relate it to LSU, we have a 12.5% chance based on the last 20 years, not 25%

We have to win 4.
We basically need to have Lange and Poche each get one, and then win two with the rest of the staff. To say it is unlikely is an understatement.
We will be significant underdogs in every game except this next one.

I have been curious to know all this. Thanks for taking the time to research it.
