A single elimination baseball tournament is absolutely ludicrous.

A single elimination baseball tournament is absolutely ludicrous.

Not when you're already in the regionals. Prop up 2-3 more SEC teams. Usher them right on up.

Automatic Qualifier here we come!

It means nothing. Single elimination has nothing to do with real baseball on any level.

It is what it is.

 

[Herbert Nenninger]

So do we consider starting Sullivan on Tuesday?

It is what it is.

I remember going to the SEC tournament at the old wooden Dudy Noble. 4 teams, double elimination. As it should be.

For the tech averse guys over 65 that can't work the pinch to zoom:

beats single to double to single elimination tournament

I’m fine with the format because the result doesn’t really matter and it allows teams to leave after one loss, but it is heavily to the top 4 seeds’ advantage.

Texas, Arkansas, LSU, or Vanderbilt will win.

Need to drop the tournament and add another SEC weekend series To help even schedules out.

A single elimination baseball tournament is absolutely ludicrous.

These days, all of these conference tournaments, championships are naked money grabs that mean nothing.

 

[00Dawg]

Given the weather forecast for Tuesday/Wednesday, the schedule-makers may be glad it’s single elimination before all is said and done. The 7-day stuff looks nice, but all the local stations are warning of a 2/3 severity risk.

 

[Jacknut]

We can certainly win the first two.

 

[Shmuley]

Let’s just get the 17 outta there without any injuries.

For teams that would rather have the week off to prepare for the real tournament single elimination is perfect. I won't be surprised if we take an early exit. ATM needs to do work to get in so . . .

Having an odd number of conference series wouldn't even out anything, it'd make it more unbalanced.

What happens if rain derails this thing? Is there a backup plan to play 7 inning games back to back to back?

Since it's essentially pointless, just have a HR Derby 2 players per team.
