Riding the momentum of a doubleheader sweep over Maryland on Saturday, the Louisiana baseball team will play midweek games against in-state opponents on Tuesday at Nicholls State and Wednesday at McNeese State. Both games are slated to begin at 6 p.m.

Herd Jay mention tomorrow nights game could be postponed due to low temps. Is there any truth to that, anyone hearing anything? I was planning to possibly go to the game. But if these finely tuned athletes can’t play in 45 degrees than I guess I can’t sit in it.

Might be a safety issue, especially for pitchers. Old school wasn’t necessarily safe school. We’re learning so much more about our bodies in the last decade. I’m certainly willing to be wrong and ere on the side of caution. What’s ultimately the harm of not risking peoples health unnecessarily.

Only game in the belt warmer than Thibodeaux tonight is in boca Raton, fl.

The temps won't be as bad as originally forecast. I'll be surprised if they don't play.

Let’s be frank, the only time a baseball player works up a sweat is training, May, and maybe sometimes pitching if they can throw the ball quicker than a minute. Football on the other hand is an all out explosion for six seconds and a forty second recovery. Yeah your body is building heat. I’ve experienced enough sweat to soak my jersey in 30 degree weather.
