Well of course it could be any one of those teams...baseball in the NWC isn't like basketball*, right?

Congrats 'Cats on finishing up the 2012 season strong.  4 straight over with wins over L&C State (twice), PLU, and blanking Fox.

If the cats could have played like that all season we'd be having a different discussion as the regional rolled into town. Good job though, love seeing NWC teams beat LC State

Bro gonna pull a Maynard and screw someone out of the playoffs because he's on the committee? I.Hate.Maynard

EDIT: looks like he already did. So you can change my above question into a statement of fact...  ::)

Easier than coaching your team to a better than 4th place finish.  Sad.

I have posted the side-by-side comparison of Pomona-Pitzer versus Linfield in the Daily Dose blog concerning the today's regional rankings.

P-P wins every comparison.

No Linfield fan can justify this!  This is unjust!

LC State game is not in the Primary Criteria.

Looks like Primary and Secondary criteria was ignored for Linfield.

It wrong for a 4th  place team to leap frog other West Region teams with better numbers and better season.

I have a lot of respect in past years for Linfields program. They play the game the right way. Good defense, good pitching, small ball and timely hitting. This was not the way they played in 2012. Nor did Chapman and neither deserve to go to regionals this year. Both are great programs in prior years but not this year.

I seen 6 years of D3 baseball regular season, regionals and World Series. This is just wrong wrong wrong

This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.  "There are three types of baseball players: those who make things happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened."

I really think it is odd that 3 top NWC conference teams would schedule a weekend of games against each other in a so-called "tournament" after NWC play has been completed, and a champion crowned.  Can you say "let down"?

How about the NWC have a Conference Tourney to pick Pool A bid. Only 2 conferences do not. NWC and SCIAC. Top 4 go to conference Tourney. Double Elimination 1 plays 4   2 plays 3    1 plays 3 and 2 plays 4

This may have already been addressed, but is Pacific not getting a bid because of their schedule? Out of their 13 non-conference games, 11 were against non-D3 opponents. The other two were against Willamette and Puget Sound (they finished 6th and 7th in the final standings). I understand that costs are in issue when it comes to scheduling in-region opponents from California and Texas, but it seems silly to me that they would use what money they had to take a trip to play 2 non-D3 opponents. Both of which, finished in the bottom half of their conference as well. I realize a large portion of Pacific's roster is from Hawaii, but it seems this is going to end up costing them an at-large bid...

Best of luck Whitworth.  Think you guys have a good shot at making noise this week.
