Torrealba was good.
Two shutout innings with 3 K’s.
Drezek gave up two runs in an inning.
Lol
Agree.
Raines had an easy double play ball, field step on the bag and throw and let it slide under his glove.
True, Drezek have up a double after that scored the two runs but those runners should not have been on base.

ND’s preseason RPI was over ONE HUNDRED places higher than St. John’s.
Hell, St.John’s was over fifty places lower than UH
Give it up.
Omgoodness Law……number one it was just a joke….
But don’t ever try and pretend you know more about baseball than I do….
You know more about the “Law” so I stay in my lane.
And Mr. Baseball GENIUS there is NO such thing as
“pre-season “ RPI.
You are looking at the end of last season wise guy.
So YOU give it up.

Pretend I know more about baseball than you?
Huh?
I never pretended, much less claimed such a thing.
Your ego must be really fragile if you interpreted anything I post to that effect.
I simply pointed out a few facts about our schedule being pretty God awful so far.
Don’t get me wrong. I’d rather be undefeated than not.
But our record and numbers are indeed at least a little bit reflective of the caliber of our schedule thus far.
ND, as I CORRECTLY pointed out, would be a far more respectable opponent than any we’ve played this year thus far, not that they are any sort of powerhouse this year in their own right.
Those are simply facts. You don’t have to be any sort of baseball genius to know that much.
You’’re not the only person here who is allowed to be correct about something.
As I said before, we’ll find out how good we are when we face some tougher competition later on.
Hopefully we’ll do well.
I am at least happy that we are beating the teams that we should beat.
Go Coogs!
YOUR “correction “ is WRONG!!!
There are NO FACTS that say Notre Dame is better than St. John’s ( who beat the #2 team in the nation last week with the same starting pitcher we beat Friday.
Binghamton beat the same team twice that just beat the Number ONE team in the nation.
So to pretend that ND is better competition as FACt is not only wrong it’s stupid.
You have no clue.
And of course I knew you would not admit you were WRONG with your whole “pre-season RPI” thing….just ignore that huh? Lol
My ego has nothing to do with anything….you go on and on with EVERYONE even when you are flat wrong so you don’t have to admit it.

RPI suggests otherwise.
And the FACT that they can’t even win a series against UH, whose RPI isn’t even in the Top 100, suggests that they ain’t so great themselves.
I hope that we are better than our pre-season RPI, which, FACTUALLY speaking is much higher than any opponent we have faced so far (which, of course suggests that our schedule hasn’t been very good thus far).
But we won’t know until we see how we do against our later higher ranked opponents.
Again, I hope that we, and our opponents thus far, are better than their pre-season RPIs, and I am of course happy to see that we are beating the teams that our RPI suggests that we should be beating (which again, FACTUALLY speaking, is every opponent we have played thus far).
Let’s wait till Big 12 play then we will definitely see where we are at our OOC schedule is weak lol

I agree on that much!
We do have some tougher OOC games coming up.
We do well in those….and the we will KNOW we are on a good path.
There is NO SUCH THING AS PRE-SEASON RPI!!!
Good grief you are dense.
You know nothing about college baseball.
Every time you post you show you ignorance……
But by all means, keep it coming.

Give it a little time and we’ll see how good we really are.
I hope so.
I don’t think that there is any pre-season pub out there that would have ranked any the teams that we have played highly, much less above UH, let alone ND.
As I said, it’s great that we are beating the teams that we are supposed to beat. Good teams always do. Were we LOSING to the opponents we have faced thus far, I’d be really worried.
But we won’t have a good gauge on how good we are until we play some more highly regarded opponents.
As for ND….ANY ACC opponent, even one of its weaker teams, would be better than any team that we have played this season.
A look at conference rankings from last season would show that the Big East is a very mediocre conference, and St. John’s is a pre-season sixth out of eight there. The SWAC and America East are extremely weak conferences; they produced our other opponents.
The ACC, by contrast, is a consensus Top Five baseball conference (likely top three) college baseball conference.
ACC v Big East/SEAC/America East isn’t close.
So even if ND isn’t highly forecasted there, they’d still likely be a stronger opponent than any we’ve faced.
Tell me what all of these teams “pre-season “ RPI’s are?
Tell me how you are taking a team picked 11-12th out of a 14 team conference and ASSUMING they are better than who we are playing now?
Even when you have FACTS presented to you, you ignore them.
St. John’s BEAt the number TWO team in the nation last week….the same pitcher, same team we have beaten thoroughly back to back.
Binghamton just beat a team back to back that beat the Number ONE team in the country last week.
Your points are non-sense.
And your “knowledge “ of college baseball is non-existent.
You keep talking about an RPI that does not exhist but you keep referring to it.
I’m not going to post anymore on this……
You are obviously a smart guy to get where you have gotten in life.
But in this case you are ignorant.
Can you honestly tell me that ANY opponent we have played thus far was forecasted to be a better team than either UH or ND?
Come on now.
Winning a game or two here and there doesn’t make you a good team.
Even World Series champions will lose 60 or so times or more in a season; including games to last place teams.
In college baseball even the top teams generally don’t have perfect records. They’ll lose a few to lesser opponents. Doesn’t necessarily mean that their opponent is any good.
What you say doesn’t prove anything, much less what you offered it up for.
The SWAC and America East are terrible conferences. They produced our first two opponents. The Big East is a real mediocre baseball conference, and SJU is picked sixth out of eight there.
Sorry, but these are NOT stout opponents.
ND may not be that strong this year, but again, comparing those conferences above to the ACC is like comparing apples to MELONS.
It’s pretty IGNORANT to suggest otherwise with all due respect.
The Hammer is getting passed around quite a bit this young season. Yeehaw.
Looks like first loss today unless bats get hot
