Disappointing

Our last 15 games: 12-3, 4 W v ATM, series win v Baylor (OK, they weren’t great, whatever), tournament championship. That’s as strong a statement as you can get, really, to close the season.

I am kind of surprised that both UNC and NCSU both host, though.

The most recent Baseball America projection (two weeks ago) had Michigan hosting as a 2 seed, so as much as I’d actually like us to be up there it seems doubtful. I don’t want to go to Baton Rouge, Miami, Tempe, or Tallahassee.

So I’m gonna go with PB on this one and hope we get the College Station regional. Let’s finalize ATM’s EPIC FAIL end to the season.

Also surprising

After doing a little research, I am actually very surprised that Coastal Carolina got to host over us. Their stadium seats only 2k people [warning: link is PDF, capacity on p3], but the actual base seating is only 900and they are going to have to bring in auxilliary bleachers to up the capacity to 2400, including standing room (super comfortable, no doubt). Guess that #7 RPI is important.
