Only way they use sears is out of the pen and if they feel like they aren’t a lock to make the post season

That's what I thought too, but @PonyBoy makes a good point that he'd probably throw a bullpen sometime soon anyway for a little work during the long rest, I suppose an inning or two would be equivalent, but I'm not a huge fan still.

Postseason is beyond lockdown.

Where we go might be affected, but I doubt it. A win over PSU isn't helping RPI, a loss might be negative enough I guess. There probably is some cache in saying "Big Ten Champs" I guess

If Penn state wins the the tournament and Illinois got bounced fairly easily I could see a lot of people on the committee go “oh the big 10 sucks, should Nebraska be in?”

Ya, it has to be bullpen related. Doesn't make sense though, pens wind down the last 3-4 weeks of the season to basically no stress & work is usually fundamental related. Sears' velo was way down in the 5th & 6th Wednesday night which caught my attention.

Our RPI is in cement. Pedo State is a Q3 so we won't be moving much. Charleston & Wichita State are playing Sunday in their respective conference tournament title games so that could help our RPI but not enough. (Nicholls won theirs today)

Indiana State lost today, their 2nd of the tournament. And East Carolina got beat by Wichita State, eliminating them from their conference tourney. Actually, the Shockers won 2 of 3 v ECU in their tournament. Haha.

Oh well, 10am can't get here soon enough.
