On the B Show today....

Brian's guest said it would be better for MSU baseball to lose game 1 in the SEC Tournament, since it's single elimination, rather than moving onto the next round of double elimination (and have 2 tournament losses). That makes no sense because if you win 1, then lose 2, you're still down a game from before tournament - the same as if you lose game 1 and are out. Am I missing something, or is this guy talking about something else? I think the guy's name was Bo Carrington or something.


Side note: He also said during a Q&A session that Infinity War may be in his top 5 Marvel movies of all time. What other movies can be above it in the ranking? It's easily #1.


Ponderings from my morning drive.

It's debatable whether 0-1 is better or worse than 1-2. But the fact it's even debatable is a sign you've got a seriously 17ed up tournament format. Either go to pool play, like the ACC does or just go to single elimination.

I don't really see a scenario where one-and-done will be best for us.

Say we go into the SECT at 28-27. If we go one-and-done, season over. We would have to win 2 games at hoover to qualify for a regional.

Say we go into the SECT at 29-26. If we go one-and done, we are at 29-27. If we go 1-2, we are still at 30-28, and hitting that 30-win mark is important.


ETA: If we have a rain out somewhere the rest of the regular season and finish up at 28-26, then it would probably be best to 0-1 in the tourney to ensure a winning record. But, would that be enough to get us into the NCAAs?
