No, the mesocyclone is associated with the front. That's how they form and it was predicted.

IMO, he could have made the change around 5:45pm.
Relievers are used to warming up quickly.

The storm sped up as the afternoon went on. All storms speed up and intensify as the day goes on. That's basic weather.
quote:Sure, it was obvious, around 6:45 pm, when the mesa cyclone started forming southwest of BR and after the game had already started. The line of storms from Lafayette had not even reached the middle of the Basin by that time.
I Was watching it and it was obvious that the weather was getting hear before 10PM.

I don't know what app you use but you need a new one.

You do realize the starting pitcher doesn't just put his glove on and run out to the mound when the game starts, right? He goes through an extended warm up routine prior to the game. Lange had already done that. You almost never see a decision change in your starting pitcher right before the game starts. Coaches want the starter to be both mentally and physically prepared in advance of the game.
Yeah man I get that and 99% of the time I'd agree with it. But not this weekend and not against this team. An hour before the game he should've told Poche or Smith to be ready.

He was gambling that he could've gotten deep into the game with Lange before it was delayed. That's the problem I have. You any make that gamble with Lange on this series against this team.
Please explain to me what you expected to gain from this weekend. The chances of a sweep were probably around 5%. Florida has not been swept all year, has only lost back to back games twice all year, has only lost 2 series all year, has not had a 3 game losing streak all year.
So realistic best case scenario was winning 2/3. Even with that, the only possible chance at hosting a Super would be to make it to the SEC Tournament Championship game, possibly even needing to win it.
For all that to happen, very very hard to do. You guys are WAY overreacting to this. It's more important to be careful with Lange's arm going into the postseason and keeping him on a good pitching schedule.

That's just not how it works with starting pitchers. How hard is it for you people to get this? The coaches spend all week gearing guys up to start on a certain day, not only mentally but physically.
I thought we were supposed to have the most knowledgeable fans in baseball?

And in your delusional mind you believe 'showers' is the same thing as an unforeseen mesa cyclone?
You've already posted that you heard the forecast for rain in the MORNING on the radio. I saw the radar and heard the forecast as of 5:15 pm. We had the all clear at that point to play and get the game in.

Get the weatherbug app and problem solved. It was predicted early yesterday afternoon, I even had a coworker show me the radar about 330 yesterday and it looked absolutely terrible. Dude you just have bad sources.
Apparently reading through this you're just ignorant and rely way too much on local news. It was shown on every app I saw with radar 3:00 and later in the day.

Sometimes weak storms dissipate after the sun goes down. That one wasn't going to do that and everyone knew it. But storms do speed up as the day goes on, and it doesn't get dark until like 730 anyway so it's not like the sun going down was going to save us.

Yeah and in big game situations they sometimes have to change. Up until Wednesday Paul was considering pitching Lange on Friday anyway.

No, shelly, it put the line of rain between 4 and 5 hours away from BR. It wasn't moving at 35 mph. It was moving east around 15 mph.
How is it everyone on here knows more than the two weather forecasters on the BR channels who both said at 5:15 that the rain wasn't due to reach BR until around 10pm???
Isn't it just possible you didn't get it right when everyone else saw the same thing?

Obviously not.

How the frick is holding him for the next day hurting his arm?

I'm not making shite up Russian. Everyone with a brain knew we weren't getting that game in before the first pitch.

As of yesterday afternoon, this was in the Advocate:
quote:
Forecasts show a 90 percent chance of rain throughout Friday, when Lange was originally scheduled to pitch. Mainieri feared a postponement to Saturday would hinder Lange’s availability in the SEC Tournament, where LSU could begin play as early as Tuesday.
“It scared me that if we don’t play Friday, he has to pitch Saturday and he wouldn’t be able to pitch in the SEC Tournament until next Friday,” Mainieri said. “Who knows if you’re in the SEC Tournament next Friday? So you run the risk of playing a tournament without him pitching once.”
Then he's not pitching for 2 weeks. Also, why did you ignore the rest of my post. Please explain why this is such a big deal.

It's a big deal because this series is more important than the SECT. I don't think you should waste your best pitcher on an iffy weather night in a series like this. Even if it means you may not have him for the first game of the tourney.

That forecast and Maineiri's comments were made on Wednesday, not yesterday afternoon.

Again, why is it a bigger deal? Explain to me like I've never watched college baseball before. And it's not about not having him for the first game of the tourney, it was the possibility of not having him at all. You don't want your ace having a 2 week layoff prior to a regional game.

Your post is misleading. That was the morning forecast in the advocate. They don't have their own weatherman to keep it updated. It changed.
And Lange would pitch during the two weeks. Simulated game. Why is 3 days so important between today and Tueaday when the next time he pitches wouldn't be till next Friday or Saturday? It's either 9/10 days of rest or 12/13.

At the time, a total rainout on Friday seemed possible. I'm assuming the thought process was lets get Lange game time as early as possible because we don't know if he will be able to go the rest of this series, we don't know if we will still be playing when he's available next week, and we don't want him to go 2 weeks with no game time. We are assuming we will still be playing by next Thursday/Friday so lets get his start in now so he can become available sooner.
