And the silence settles back in again predictably.

12-3 romp to win the series for WSU. WSU outscored the BJ's 20-3 in their 2 wins.


Sounds like a true contender to me.

Thanks for the boost in confidence.

Jays aren't that good. How are they ahead in the conference?

Sad.

I suspect because of who CU has played to this point - they played a little easier schedule. CU has EU and SWMO left while WSU has the two bottom feeders left BU and ISUB. CU is almost a 0.500 team again the non-bottom feeders.

I expect that CU will lose at least one of their remaining games. The question is can WSU sweep the two bottom feeders to tie CU and thus win the MVC? Nothing is a given with this WSU program.

Sad.
It is sad that MVC is a pretender conference in baseball.

But help should be on the way with Dallas Baptist coming to the league next year. They are 8-5 versus top 50 competition. They are hurt with no conference affiliation and had to play 21x200+ RPI games. Only problem is they may step on some toes when they come in shove the pretenders aside.

it is shocking that CU even took a game from the most storied program in college baseball history. the jays should feel very proud.

You have that right, the way the Shox have owned the BJ's for all of these years it is a big deal when they upset them and win one.

How sad, the worst two seasons ever for Shocker baseball and the BJ's can still can only come up with one win out of six in the last two regular season series.

Enjoy your rented stadium.

i'm just happy that the jays even get to share the diamond with a team and all-time storied program like the krusty led shockers. that they have a better conference record to this point than the shockers is a monumental feat.

My bet is that MSU will win the MVC. I don't think WSU can't sweep both ISUB and BU. MSU and EU are going to feast on CU pitching.

MSU is poised to slip by everybody and sieze the title(the rainout game they lost is the one thing that hurts them a little).

Putting the BJ's in that new fancy rented stadium is a lot like putting socks on a goat.
