@scane would know better, but I suspect their RPI will begin to normalize/decline the rest of the way, as their remaining weekend series are: SO IL, IL St, Valparaiso, Evansville & IN St (all low RPI teams).
Ya, hopefully it indicates they aren't pressing and know they can come back. However, the post-season is often a different story when runs are at a premium and you see everyone's best pitchers.
Jake needs some more run support - pitching his guts out and taking care of business. He could be a weapon in the post-season when you need that 4th starter.
As he should. Thank God it's B-C, although this game isn't over by a long shot. The momentum just totally shifted. Hopefully, they don't have the offense to come back, but we're trying to give them hope.
Would have been 2nd an 3rd, no outs, and the meat of your order up. What is this guy thinking? The rule of thumb is if the guy hasn't rounded third before the fielder gloves it, hold him.
