BB Final: UL (4) vs. LSU (1)

[GoneGolfin]

We would probably have to have a wash out game somewhere along the way to have a spot for another game. Idk if we at the limit or not. Lsu would have to have a spot as well. I think we should open the season with a 3 game series

I do not think that would be a problem. Both teams are scheduled at the max of 56 games. It is highly unlikely that all of them get played. Meanwhile, the Cajuns have three midweeks where no games are scheduled ... including three at the end of the year. If required, you can always give up a midweek home game vs. Nicholls State, McNeese State, or Northwestern State. I do not mind giving up a home game given the RPI changes to reward road games very heavily. But as I said, I do not think it will be necessary as a washout somewhere is quite likely.

LSU also has an open midweek between 5/4 and 5/9.
Edit: The above is finals week ... so that would be out for the Cajuns. Also finals week for LSU.

LSU has single midweek games in one week that the Cajuns have none (5/11 -> 5/15).

Cajuns have negotiating leverage here for another game if LSU wants to finish. If I am coach, I am not traveling for under 4 innings of baseball.

---what does NM mean??? So after every flash from a certain distance the game is postponed for another half hour?? Is that correct???

Sorry to discombobulate you Boomer. I meant to remove the quote and type NM (no message) because others had already answered the question better than I.

Most of the weather is north of the field. Might get back to playing ball after all.

---Thought it was NM --Roberto Durand---NO MAS___What in the hell does it mean???

Roberto was saying "No More"

[Boomer]

They say after another hour if no lightening within a 6 miles radius the game can start back up---It is totally up to the umpires--they alone decide now!!!

[Boomer]

Anybody have an update on the rain and the lightening???

I wonder how safe the field is for play. Seems like an opportunity for a pulled hamstring.

I know the drainage is much improved over the Alex Box of old ... but does anyone remember the horrible field conditions in the first few days of the 1991 Baton Rouge regional? I remember Texas A&M hitting a single to RF and when the ball hit the ground, it literally stuck into a mound of mud. Papo Ramos plucked the ball from the mud (mud all over the ball) and mud went everywhere when he threw to second base. They should have moved that first day ... at minimum. There were places to play ... but LSU was not moving the games.

I really don't want to win this way, but want a win. So overall this will be a very anti climatic win, but a win nonetheless.

----Well is it true that it is totally in the ump's hands now???--And they did mention that the outfield was pretty bad with puddles!!!
