Hey, Crash! Heard you retired? It was great reading your insights over the last few years.  You guys had a great run for 4 years.
Looked forward to your daily e-mails.  Who is going to tell us what is going on? Going to miss you!  Good luck and "STAY THIRSTY MY FRIEND"!

[BigPoppa]

Bummer! The coeds waited for the baseball team to head north to freeze their....mitts off in the hail and THEN they did the Undie Run!

Gotta love Chapman's traditions! I wish Carthage would have had this event. It is a great stress reliever for Finals Week.

McMurry University's Walt Driggers Field is the site for the 2011 NCAA Division III Baseball West Regional. The tournament, held May 19-22
http://www.ascsports.org/news/2011/1/7/BSB_0107115537.aspx

NWC: Linfield
SCAC: Trinity
SCIAC : Redlands
ASC: TBD May 8th
Pool B/C: TBA May 16th
Pool C TBA May 16th

Yes this is subject to change by the NCAA  .....But for now this is what it is looking like

If Mississippi College were to win the ASC, they're less than 500 miles from Millington but more than 500 from Abilene. So someone else other than the ASC champ might get shipped in if that happened.

Other than that, seems your assessment will be right unless Chapman does not get in or both Hardin-Simmons and UT-Tyler need Pool C berths and get them.

I see one and maybe two Pool C teams coming from the ASC this year. I do not see the NWC, SCIAC, or SCAC getting a Pool C bid. If Chapman does not get a Pool B/C bid the ASC could have 3 teams IMO in the Regional this year if Texas-Tyler  does not win the ASC tourney

IMO the only two NCAA worthy teams in the ASC are H-SC and UTT. If H-SC wins the tourney, UTT will get a Pool C and that's it.

They're not going to pick a 3rd ASC team just because Chapman didn't get in to give the West more bids. They're going to pick the best teams in Pool C nationwide.

I'm inclined to agree with ForHeaven here. I don't think there's any way you'll see 3 ASC teams. I actually think the ASC is down a bit this year. If Tyler doesn't win the tourney, they'll get a Pool C bid. If they do win it, I think HSU HAS to be in the championship against them. There's a good chance that the ASC tournament runner-up will have 3 more losses to their in-region games (if it takes them 3 games to win the 1st round).

I don't think it's unreasonable to think they'd fly teams from other regions to Texas if there's better candidates.

If U Dallas swipes a couple from Chapman, I think they have to be in the conversation. They've been pretty good on the mound this year. Michael Schweiss should be in any All-American conversations.

So I hear that the possible Pool B/C is Chapman/UDallas

Other possible Pool C is HSU/UTT or import from another region.

I dont see SCIAC, SCAC or NWC or what I hear from others a 3rd ASC team in the Regional.

The SCAC teams in the west region definitely wont get a pool C team.  The others I do not know enough about.

None of the SCAC east teams are a threat to get a bid.  Now, next year, when B-SC is finally eligible ...

[CrashDavisD3]

Its a good bet you will find all teams that will be going to the West Regional's in the list below. Now who will be those 6. Linfield, Redlands, Trinity have clinched Pool A bids. Only a upset in the ASC tourney and Chapman's collapse in their remaining 6 games can cause some major shifts and a possibilty of a Pool C team coming from outside the region


Rk School (first)                 Last  Rec.     Pts
5  Texas-Tyler                     6   33-4      497
6  Linfield                        5   26-8      492
15 Chapman                        11   24-10     228
18 Redlands                       19   26-9      171
19 Trinity (Texas)                24   33-11     163
23 Pomona-Pitzer                  23   27-10     124

Also receiving votes: Hardin-Simmons 21, George Fox 11, University of Dallas 7

[playball]

What kind of scenario could play out (if any) where George Fox would make it?  Even if they did make it, would they go to this regional or be shipped out elsewhere?

I dont see a 2nd team from the NWC making any regional. Plus GF is sitting in 4th place in the NWC.  Also its weak SOS (206) for George Fox will not help either. SOS = Strength of Schedule.

They have to fly the TX teams out west anyway so I don't think it's unreasonable to think they'd fly teams form other regions out west if there's better candidates.

I think you're confused. Crash is the one that said he could see 3 ASC teams. I said I didn't (unless there's a surprise champion).

Also the regional is in TX, so no flying TX teams should be necessary.

[CrashDavisD3]

I see ASC getting 2 teams in Regional in 2011.
SCAC no, NWC no SCIAC no.
