I do have to say that the stream quality, particularly those for Cal home games, has drastically improved in the last few years (thank you, Andrew Vaughn!?).
For the rest of the regular season, Cal (87) will face Stanford (33, but people believe they could still vie for a top-16 and hosting position), New Mexico (186), and Utah (71). I think a series win this weekend *could* bump the Bears up by about 15-20 spots (to the last 4 out, bubble territory), and then they will need to avoid losing to New Mexico and also win another series vs. Utah. Then, we can then see just how useful this year ending Pac-12 Baseball Tournament may be, especially if the Bears can get another quality win or two over an Oregon State or UCLA there.
Against teams in the projected field, Cal is 6-11 so far...but it could have easily been 8-9 if they just held on to a couple more leads late (or didn't miss the home plate on a "home run" in that Florida State game).
I'm looking forward to some televised games. Too many have been streaming only.

Yes, mostly I just like the ability to record to my DVR.
If you look at the current NCAA projection (https://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2022-05-05/2022-mens-college-world-series-field-64-predictions-made-first-week-may) and compare that to the RPI, it's not all about the RPI but more quality of wins, etc. One would like to be in the 50's in the RPI, but it's more about the quality wins (which Cal got).
Last four in: (RPI)
61. San Diego (48)
62. Louisiana Tech (37)
63. Louisiana (46)
64. Pittsburgh (59)
First four out:
65. UTSA (55)
66. Alabama (50)
67. Coastal Carolina (54)
68. Illinois (70)
