Baseball Tonight?

[EngDawg]

From where I’m sitting it doesn’t look good, but maybe somebody knows something I don’t.

The show? Or weather concerning our game? Or the possibility of runs, LOB, & wins this weekend?

Weather

New field can drain like 6" an hour and stay playable. I'd think lightning would be about the only way we don't play...

Playing two
tomorrow

 

[engie]

Nvm, it just washed. DH tom.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

They are playing two games tomorrow. We will play about 4 innings.

Not a fan friendly decision at all. Supposed to be cold and cloudy tomorrow. Supposed to be sunny and warmer Sunday. Why would you not schedule the dh for Sunday? And don't tell me it's a team travel thing. Good grief, it's only a 90 minute bus ride back to Oxford for them.

I dont think the conference will let you do that. If saturday was in danger then i think they would. But they wont let you move a friday game to sunday without trying sat first

Well, they ought to leave some flexibility on those rules, depending on Sunday travel time for the away team. Like I said, this is crappy for the fans.

By rule, A Sunday doubleheader would be two seven-inning games

The coaches won't agree to that because few people like seven-inning games

SEC needs to ditch the ridiculously rigid rules for baseball. Sunday DH needs to be 9 innings each and Monday games should be allowed if you don't get all 3 games in, or at the very least if you can't get 2 in. They claim the no Mondays rule is so players won't miss class. But it's become pretty clear they don't give a **** if players miss Thursday or Friday classes.

 

[CuzDawg]

Yea, they used to let u make up games on Monday.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I think the no Monday games rule is more about the # of series that start on Thursday which could result in very short turnaround times for pitching staffs especially if you have mid-week games.

 

[patdog]

Nope. There weren't any Thu-Sat series back when that rule was put in. And the really ridiculous part is, they don't even allow Sunday games if it's a Thu-Sat series.

In a nutshell, what they have done with all of the silly scheduling rules, is taken a sport where it is hard enough as it is to encourage fan attendance, and made it even worse with not enough flexibility to work around crappy weather days. I bet we will do good to have more than 999 fans in the stands for that crappy weather double header tomorrow.
