@KopshoJoe@MercerBaseball@NCAABaseball Mercer did produce the 11th overall MLB draft pick, plus many other picks. If a player wants to transfer, that's fine. But there's a heavy argument that remaining at Mercer WILL get you drafted. It's a bigger risk to transfer sometimes. Check recent big MU transfers.
@BaseballAmerica@JacobRudner I’m realizing that the committee’s “eye test” was used to include bottom end P4 teams. Mercer not only passed the eye test, they passed on paper too.
The problem with Q1 games is that Mercer is almost always on the road for these. 1-4 this season were all road games. Kentucky was 3-6 in Q1 road games (nearly the same as 1-4). Give Mercer 10 Q1 home games and I promise you they breeze to 5 wins, and probably 7+.
@MercerBaseball is #28 RPI, #28 in Coaches Poll, only team not selected in #1-38 RPI, beat Troy 2/3, beat GT who only lost 4/34 at home. The COACHES say Mercer is 28th. The RPI says 28th! Yet the old man committee says NAW we want UK and NCST.
@11point7 This is truly BAD. Much bigger than just Mercer getting snubbed. Now they’ve set a precedent that a top 30 RPI isn’t enough for a mid major. Effectively eliminating all mid majors before the season begins. Disgraceful by this committee. Mercer was not even a bubble team!
@mrohr77 It’s not even funny that D1 says Mercer is out. Or even a bubble team. The best MU team of all time (against stiff competition). SoCon champions, series win over Troy, GT road win, 28 RPI. This is a stone cold lock and I won’t budge on it.
