Man when it rains, it pours. Now the Aggies will be "resting" #2 starter (arguably the best) Aiden Sims for the MSU series this weekend to be sure he's available for post season. Good lord if it wasn't for bad injury luck, the Aggies would have none!
Longhorns face Missouri in the last series. Missouri isn't a good team so that's a good thing for Texas. We are guaranteed a "top 9" slot for the SEC Tourney. Coach want's to sweep them and get to #2 behind Georgia, so no fiddling around with the pitching. He'll do that in the SEC Tourney.
ah RPI and cancelling games... Right now the Aggies are comfortably be in line for a top 8 seed (7 or 8) in all metrics...except RPI where I believe we are currently 10-11. Imagine if the Aggies had cancelled that last game against Prairie View whose RPI was down near 300 and cost them several spots even with a big win... the Aggies would be sitting 7-8 in RPI along with all their other metrics (and 18 conf wins). I don't like the idea of cancelling a game for that reason, but if the committee goes down that path, then so be it.
Scott, this sounds a lot like my argument for football teams not scheduling quality out-of-conference opponents because of the emphasis on the number losses vs the SOS.
