As great as Afthim has been this year, I'd be curious to know what his success rate against the first batter he faces. Seems like he gives up a walk or a hit over 50% of the time, but I could be way off.

I checked Warren Nolan around 1:30pm and then again just now. Our RPI went from 32 mid-game to 39 after the W. I get it but sheesh.

I certainly don't get it. How does your RPI lose 7 points by winning, even if at home and against bad team?

Bottom 8th, Shpur leads off with an infield single, and then he steals 2B, and moves to 3B on an error on a pick off attempt. With 1 out Shpur scores on a wild pitch. 11-6 UConn.

It also depends on the results of other games played by other teams. Your RPI can move up and down even when you are not playing a game.
