Up 7-0 top of the fourth. If we win I think tomorrow’s game is canceled. According to the broadcast, if we win we will still play Peay tomorrow night "to even out the pitching". This is the most unnecessarily complicated and weird tournament format I've ever heard of. It sounds like we're playing a meaningless game just for what? Fun? The deck is already stacked if you're in pool B, and now, if we beat EKU and secure a spot, we get rewarded by playing an exhibition in the middle of a tournament. We should pitch the highest ERA pitcher on the roster and get ten run rule and not t much anyone else .

We play the Pool A champ Saturday. Win and we play for the title Sunday. I agree it is dumb for us to play tomorrow and I doubt Peay is thrilled about it. But both games in Pool A will matter for seeding so I guess they don’t want to disadvantage the better pool. If they want to advance the best team just take the top four to the tournament and have a double elimination bracket.

This is the screwiest thing I have ever heard of.

A Prima Ballerina would be hard pressed to pivot any better than you.

All this negativity is kinda old. We understand you'd like to replace the current coaching staff, and I tend to agree, but I'd still like to see us win the tournament. Please can't we just root for OUR team.

No. The second and third place teams from Pool A play Saturday and the winner of that game plays the winner of our game for the championship on Sunday.

I’m not saying the pitcher that has the highest ERA can’t be a good pitcher but I am saying let’s get the game over with. Rest up for what matters . The pitcher will probably be a good one at a later time.

Last year Jax State was in Austin Peay’s spot and our opponent opted to Not play the game as it was moot. So, why are we having to play this game today? Maybe ASUN really does hate us for leaving.

Maybe Peay will do us a favor and skip town.
Maybe they changed the rule about canceling games.

But it’s our last time in the ASUN so we should not have this format moving forward.

CUSA is playing an eight team double-elimination tournament. No pool play so it’s not like travel league.
