Before the season no one would have thought the Bulls were a tier one team The Bulls are 0-8 against tier 1 opponents, yes NorthEastern was, is a tier one opponent The Bulls are 5-2 against tier 2, 3, and 4 opponents, Northwestern is tier 2 team that they swept Carson Ragsdale has looked strong so far, he is in the top 40 in the country in Ks w/ 37 and has a 2.84 ERA Collin Sullivan is in the top 100 in Ks w/ 30 The Bulls are averaging more than 12.2 ks per nine innings, higher than any team has ever had over a season Reason to dispair The Bulls are 0-8 against tier 1 opponents The Bulls ERA is 5.16, opponents 2.06 The Bulls OPS (SLG+OBP) = .524, opponents .684 And if you are old school and stuck with looking at BA, the Bulls are batting a crisp .180 - ugh Bottom line, we will know more about the quality of the team and what tier team we really are after the next 6 games, which should be games that they, at very minimum, must go 4-2. 5-1 would be what we should be and 6-0 is possible. It is possible that the Bulls are above .500 by the end of next week. Thats my logical opinion, somewhat tainted by my green colored glasses.

If you are pointing out that its early in the season and Northeastern could lose the rest of their games, totally agree but all we can do is look at current performance thus far, correct?

It stems from about 10 pages of me defending the idea that a northern school can field a good baseball team.
