Turbine,

Jay asked me to be on soon. As soon as I can clear a spot on my schedule, I plan to join him for a bit in the afternoon. Maybe at the end of this week.

As for any other shows, I do not know.

LOUISIANA La. - If Moore Field is anywhere close to playable tonight, Louisiana baseball coach Tony Robichaux’s ready to go.

The Ragin’ Cajuns host Nicholls State tonight at 6:30 p.m., field conditions permitting, in the squad’s second home appearance of the season. By this time, the Cajuns had been slated for five home appearances, but that was before Mother Nature stepped in.

The Cajuns (2-2) were on the road last weekend at Texas State, where they took one of three games, and weren’t around to cover the Moore Field infield when rain returned to the area late Sunday and early Monday.

“We really need to get this one in,” said Robichaux, whose team spent most of Tuesday’s Mardi Gras workout indoors. “Playing right now is so important because this is the time of year to get guys into games.”

UL Lafayette was able to get all but one position player — St. Thomas More freshman signee Jeffries Tatford — into action in last weekend’s series, and Robichaux was hoping to continue using much of his roster tonight.

“We want to get guys that haven’t faced Division I pitching or hitting out there at all cost,” he said. “If we can do that, we’ll be that much better. You don’t want somebody to have their first appearance in April.”

looks like there's no baseball again tonight, (i'm sick of all this rain)hopefully the game will be played thursday night, they cannot even practice! if they had a indoor practice facility they could at least do that, that's how important this is, if it ever happens! man......... will we ever get a break, i'm bumded out for the rest of the day; for some reason i thought the baseball field had a drainage system, looks like i was wrong again.

LOUISIANA La. — They haven’t been able do much outside practicing due to the weather. They’ve scrambled around to find places to work out, and they’re desperate just to play. Their coaches say their hitters haven’t faced enough live pitching and their hurlers haven’t thrown to enough batters.

Louisiana’s baseball team? Yes, but it also applies to the University of Stony Brook’s Seawolves, who journeyed all the way from New York’s Long Island for a weekend series that begins tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Moore Field.

The host Ragin’ Cajuns (2-2) have been pushed around by rain and wet grounds for most of the last two weeks. It’s been the severe cold and, yes, snow that has hampered the early preparations for Stony Brook (1-2).

“We’ve actually gotten out as much as we can,” said Seawolves coach Matthew Senk. “Our new football stadium has a sports turf, and the snow had been cleared for our lacrosse team. That gave us an opportunity to get out there and do some things on the field.

“It’s not the same as getting out there and playing on the diamond, but we’ve made the most of it.”

Stony Brook, a member of the America East Conference and a finalist in that league’s tournament last spring, played three games in the Griffin Pontiac Challenge in Rock Hill, S.C., last weekend. The Seawolves beat Appalachian State 10-3 and lost to Akron 15-8 and host Winthrop 10-6 in that round-robin tournament.

“The approach we took there was to give everyone an opportunity,” Senk said. “We gave our entire pitching staff an opportunity to throw. The more you can play, the more at bats, the more innings, you can take all of that into conference play.”
