Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4981064, member: 55"] As someone who has very nicely implied the tests were overly simplistic over the years (please don’t get me wrong – still a useful barometer and I sincerely thank you for doing it), thank you for doing the extra work here. And your goals to finish the season look about right to me. Does this team give me any confidence? Heck no. Even last weekend, with a huge road sweep against a team that started the weekend with a better RPI than us, the weekend showed more about our guts and determination than our talent. We easily could have been 0-3 last weekend, and in picking one play a game that made a difference it easily could have been plays Georgetown didn’t make against us and not plays we made. Is it as good as the average UConn team we have become used to? Absolutely not. The starting pitching is entirely unreliable, the line up has more holes than we’re used to without the top end bats we’re used to, and the bullpen while doing much better doesn’t have the depth we’re used to. But what I think about the team is as useless as a sixth toe. The fact is our RPI says we’re every bit as good as an average UConn team over the last decade and we’re on track (with a lead even though we’ve played all 3 of our series against the 3 teams closest to us in the standings, and now have 3 of 4 left against teams outside the top 100) to win the conference. If I believe the computers, we haven’t looked good because of how good our schedule is, and now that our schedule will ease up our record should skyrocket. Time will tell. I’d actually feel better with one less regular season loss — go 3-2 in our remaining quality games and only drop 1 of our RPI killers – but I’ll defer to your research. And again, thank you for your research. [/QUOTE]
