Isn't CTX's field turf?

Still shouldn't have a big impact, since they're used to playing most of their road games on grass.

because of weather, they have only played 12 games away from their field this year.

it will be interesting to see if the committee values head to head over other criteria

Trinity did beat CTX in the regular season that year...but it was more of pointing out that many people that year would have expected Trinity to get by Whitworth.

it will be interested to see how everyone gets seeded...since the three teams in were not part of the last regional rankings.

This reminds me of the West Regional from 2012 where Linfield was left out and Trinity (TX) was the favorite coming into it. Interesting that Whitworth was the surprise team to win that year with a bunch of freshman. Now they are back as Seniors hoping to get back to the World Series.

concordia was the top seed that year, so not sure how Trinity was the favorite

Looking forward to watching Speer v Seidl matchup

If NWC has a tourney and someone other than Linfield were to have won can we assume there would then have been two teams making it? How can they leave a top 10 team out!

Top Ten according to whom? The opinion of the NCAA Committee is the only one that maters.

I think he was calling Linfield a top 10 team, since they would have gone Pool C.

Thanks for that. Looking forward to a good game on Wesnesday.

Seidl shut out LaCrosse on a 5 hitter when the two teams met during the regular season.  Though Watson also beat them in a relief appearance.  Perhaps Bloom felt comfortable using either one. 

I'll leave the sharing to Shine.     

a shut out is always a good reason to throw your guy.  Thanks for that. +1

so...anyone want to share anything about UWSP.  I know, that the teams shipped in two years ago, Coe put up a great fight and lost two close games to Trinity.  Other than the fact that UWSP went to the World Series last year, I know little about them.  They seem to have some guys who can swing it, and with the condensed schedule, they have some dept on the mound. 

Curious as to why they didn't throw Watson game one of their tourney, as he has better Stats on paper than Seidl. 

Any insight on to this?

Good luck in the west (just hope not too much good luck as I will be watching my Tigers on the Webcast)

I think the Trinity/UWSP game is as tough of a first round draw as it gets for Trinity.  UWSP might not have the insane numbers but thats a tough draw.  I think it comes down to which Trinity team shows up.  Lets be honest, they didn't exactly waltz right through their conference tournament.  On the otherhand, I could be way off...

Know anything about UWSP.  They have good offensive numbers...and with the way their schedule sets up, it is hard to find a patter on their arms.  Their best arm (stats wise) didnt start their tournament game 1, but neither did Trinity's. 

Maybe the west gets no pool C teams, like in 2012.

I think it was Pomona last year that popped in and got a spot.

right +1

GF wins over Linfield will be the difference that gets them into the regional.

If McMinnville stays dry it is a great baseball venue. I enjoyed the weather in 2009 and hated it  in 2010. Linfield does a great job as a host and back in 2009 the Linfield students were backing Chapman every game. McMinnville is a great town for the regionals. I also enjoyed the beauty of Oregon in my 2 trips. Wineries, the rivers, water falls, covered bridges, small ferries across the river the beauty of the Oregon, Portland, McMinnville area.

The only place that could host in SoCal is Cal Lu but it does not have lights. CTX and when it was in DIII McMurray are als o quality venues for regionals

Chapman home field needs major work. New stands, backstops, etc...but the it is in a city park that is unwilling to let Chapman spend the money to bring this field up to the quality of Linfield, Cal Lu, CTX level venue.

I can not see any movement in the Regional rankings in the West since all games are finished. I don't see Pac Lu getting in and staying home again in disappointment.

An upset in the ASC could get Chapman staying home IMO.

although last year I think TLU jumped in after the games were played and snagged the 6th seed over a fly in team.

Never mind. I didn't realize the new regional rankings
Came out and that was what Jack was referring to.
