Yes, any 3 game series v P5 is always away. I thought we usually played a P5 series but man, we actually haven't in a while. I wonder if that is because we're in the Sun Belt now and spend the money on long away conference weekends. P5 series are fun for the kids, hopefully we can find some money to start doing those again.Appmountaineers19 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:48 pmI know that was a late add I don't think had many options because it was in Dec.311neers wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:35 pmWe need a P5 series on the schedule every year. Going to S. Illinois was a wasted trip and cost the same, if not more, as playing against a regional P5 if we could have found an opening. Maybe we couldn't find a P5 to play.Appmountaineers19 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 12:08 pmI know I keep circling back to the non conference schedule (225 out of 305) but 5 out of the 6 three games series they played were again team with an RPI 208 or higher. That's a hard one for the committee to over look when evaluating teams. Baseball is not like the revenue sports where you get paid to got play bigger schools. I don't know how they overcome this with the budget they are on.
They need a 3 game series against a regional P5 but it most likely will have to be away. I don't see them going to Boone. WV was the outlier.
If we had played 3 vs. a P5 and won 1 of those, our RPI would be up there with JMU's.
Did we have someone bail on us late? Who was it?
