Great Lakes Region

[sac]

Pitt-Bradford was.500. For this list he's excluding two games against Alfred State, a provisional that the NCAA will exclude.

8-10 < .500

Fact.

If you mean to say they're 8-8 in games the NCAA will count, then put their record as 8-8. Not that it matters, half this list is completely pointless.

Then again, since this person is the one that tried to make the case that Marietta isn't the top team in the region, probably the entire thing is pointless.

Bet he's feeling pretty stupid after today.

Half of what you've posted is completely pointless, so we're even

C'mon sac, tell us all how Case and the NCAC schools are better than Marietta, again. That was funny.

womp womp

OAC apparently isn't in the region anymore. Now I get why Marietta won't be the top ranked.

Let me explain it to you.  I've kept track of each teams in-region record to give myself and others an idea of how the teams in the region are stacking up against each other.  I only include the teams that have a winning record or record that may give them a chance at a ranking.

Like so

This past week there happen to be no games in the OAC between the 4 teams on the previous list so I didn't include any 'key' OAC matchups.  Hope that helps.

Why wasn't ONU on this list? They were 10-10 before today.

[sac]

I made that list last Sunday.  ONU had 10 losses, Pitt-Bradford 9.

I updated the records on Wednesday but didn't drop anyone because I do that on Sunday.

hum seems to have trouble reading and comprehending basic English

Then I just missed them, easy mistake to make

[wally_wabash]

These people dissed the program and need to be put in their place, especially since they've been caught red-handed now. Undefeated record and they're still questioning whether MC is the best in the region? Yeah because they don't want it to be true.

When did this ever happen?  I saw people point out that win percentage is one of many criteria for ranking, selection, and seeding.  I don't think anybody "dissed" Marietta.  Let's go ahead and put that hater card back in the deck- not applicable here. 

[wally_wabash]

The discussion was going ok (even though everyone but me was wrong, but civilly so) until wally Wabash decided to be an idiot and accuse me of saying the NCAC changed its schedule so they could not play Marietta. That was at the end of page 107.

That's not an accusation.  You said that. 

The NCAC adding games really just supports the idea that the NCAC schools consciously decided not to schedule Marietta.

[wally_wabash]

Stripes really helping Wooster right now but missed front end of 1 and 1. Pannell bumps on people all game but when a Denison guy does it to Lalonde they call offensive. 

This was funny.  That's just life in the NCAC.

It's my fault, but I plead ignorance.

Your plea is accepted. Diminished capacity was also a possible defense.

So a bunch of posts get deleted, but this blatant personal attack is allowed to remain?

Yeah I'm not being treated unfairly or anything...that's two cheap shots that have gone completely unchallenged.

Why can't you ever stop posting? Enough, already. Marietta baseball hasn't even started and you're already putting yourself on thin ice for even making it to the season.

[ettaexpress]

Read the post where I explain everything that's happened and make very clear that none of this is my doing.

I don't understand how in the world someone can put this back on me. I've been insulted, lied to, completely misrepresented, and I was the one that was right from the start!

And why do you allow people to personally attack me without provocation, not delete the offending material while deleting other stuff, and then blame me for it?

In a just world you'd be scolding the people making the unprovoked personal attacks, not me. In both cases the person hadn't been posting until they came out of the dressing room JUST to attack me.

You can ban me or you can not ban me and I don't care what you do, but I am *not* backing down. This is not on me.

And if you want a regional baseball preview without doing it yourself., you'll give me a little frickin' slack and try to see both sides here.

[Pat Coleman]

Except that you continue to post. I've been reading throughout, over multiple days. I'm not just catching up now.

I didn't delete any posts and I don't care who deleted other posts. And the fact that you are one of Jim Dixon's contributors does not buy you dozens of posts of slack, sir. Jim would support this.

Knock. It. Off.

[ettaexpress]

So if I just went away everything would be great, eh? Well all right then.

You know, the crap of this for me is that I wouldn't mind applying at CWT but I hesitate to because I don't know if I could work with you if I had to.

This really isn't great conflict mitigation on your part to re-open old wounds, and to post something that clearly is not going to be well accepted, whilst making no attempt whatsoever to even pretend to address my position and point of view.
