Mascona on last nights loss

How many times will he say the NSU loss doesn't matter today?
My bet 6+
Yes SEC games are more important, but at some point too many losses are too many losses. 32-20 isn't a good record.

If LSU went their normal 50% in midweek games, then they wouldn't even be in consideration for a regional. Don't let his spatter make you think anything else. If we were 26-26 we would have no shot.

Ok but in the grand scheme of the season how different is it than being 31-19 with that one extra game being Northwestern St?

I think our worst season in the last 40 years was losing like 6 of them a few years ago. We usually drop a few out of ~15 total midweek games. Why do people insist on embeleshing everything when trying to make a point when it's completely unecessary to make that same point?This post was edited on 5/19/21 at 10:08 am

Fact is last night's loss doesnt matter, win or lose that game we have to win 2/3 this weekend to have any chance at the NCAAT outside of winning the SECT.
The game has no impact on what our SEC record HAS to be to even get considered for the tournament. Win or lose that game last night if we finish 12-18 or 11-19 we arent getting in the NCAAT without winning the SECT.

Currently, the Warren Nolan site is predicting that LSU loses ALL 3 games vs. A&M and still ends the week with a 21 RPI ranking. Obviously, there is a lot that goes into RPI and you never want to lose to bad teams, but I think if LSU wins 2 of 3 vs. A&M the loss will be nothing more than a momentary blip.
If LSU is going to be "penalized" for ONE mid-week loss all season as much as everyone here is terrified they will be then shouldn't the same apply to:
Kentucky: mid week loss to Murray St.
Alabama: mid week losses to UT-Martin and ULM
Georgia: mid week losses to Kennesaw St and Georgia Southern
If LSU misses the NCAAT it won't be because they lost to NW St.

Are you telling me that LSU is not the only team that loses midweek games? LIES, lies I tell you.

It’s true last night’s game doesn’t matter much. If we miss a regional, it will be because of our league record and not last night. And we’ve actually done really well midweek this year. It’s just really disappointing that after a big series win on Sunday, and knowing we are on the bubble, they mail it in like that last night.

He’s right. It won’t matter
Posted on 5/19/21 at 10:13 am to Tiger79
We were what 12-0 in midweek games until last night.
People said so what, we weren’t playing anybody so it doesn’t matter. Then we lose one and all of a sudden it’s a big deal?

Yes, our SEC record, and how we do in Hoover will tell the tale.
And yes you’d like to see our bats continue on from Sunday, but well that didn’t happen.

Matt will argue that mid week games don't matter and he's referring to ALL mid week games. I think each year is different. Does last night's loss mean anything, I don't think so. If this team lost half its mid week games, and of those losses, they lost ever matchup against LaTech.... then their chance of making any post season run this year is done.

LSU is going to be penalized for having an average team and a terrible "coach."

The point about midweek games is never more relevant than this year. It has always been... it depends.
If you win 20 sec games, then you can lose every single midweek game and will still likely get a top 8 seed.
But if you win 13 sec games, you had better win most of your midweeks because you start to get on the cusp of the bubble and it all matters. If we had lost all of our midweek games this year (and this was a normal year), the SOS would be the same, but the RPI would be "bad." So, yes. They CAN matter. And this year they do. Did last night matter? For the committee, no. But the midweeks as a whole play a role. And outside of the tournament, last night and to an extent last week's game showed a lot about this team's psyche.

Musso is the only dude on that station that knows anything about baseball. Listening to T-Bob, Hester, and Moscona talk about baseball is like listening to fingernails on a chalk board.

agreed. Here is also a way to look at the teams you mentioned. It appears as if LSU, Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia are fighting for 3, possibly only 2, spots.
UGA: 17-6 OOC record, OOC SOS 130, 12-5 SEC, 21 overall SOS, 42 RPI, 8-11 Q1
LSU: 21-4 OOC record, OOC SOS 121, 11-16 SEC, 2 overall SOS, 22 RPI, 10-15 Q1
UK: 17-4 OOC record, OOC SOS 202, 11-16 SEC, 47 overall SOS, 65 RPI, 6-15 Q1
AL: 17-5 OOC record, OOC SOS 81, 12-14 SEC, 10 overall SOS, 27 RPI, 6-12 Q1
Looking at those numbers, one would think us and Alabama have the two best resumes, with UGA 3rd, and Kentucky 4th. I honestly don't see how Kentucky does enough to get in unless they sweep Vandy, and that still may not be enough

When you are last 5 in/out every game down the stretch matters & is magnified. And it’s funny how last weeks mid week game mattered. Like if you beat a high RPI team, it matters. But if you lose to a shite school, it doesn’t
People have posted this last 5 in/out the last few weeks & there has been no consensus & almost feels like it changes daily. It’s always better to remove all doubt

Down the stretch certainly matters, sort of. It didn't help us in 2011 when we missed out. In 2011, we finished the SEC slate on a 9-3 run and won our last 4 OOC games. Regardless, we will have finished well down the stretch this year assuming we take the series (hopefully sweep) against A&M. We would have won 4 of our last 5 SEC series, going either 10-3 or 9-4 in that stretch, on top of winning 4 of our last 5 OOC games.
