Thanks, wasn't sure about this. I thought there may be a minimum number of innings for the suspended game to count towards shortening the other game to 7 innings, but apparently not.

You can go and cheer them on Russian.

LSU already has their money anyway and most teams across the country play in empty stadiums every game.

Yeah if more than one game is played on the final day of a series it's 7 innings, unless it's part of a suspended game.

Fine. Start it at 230 or 3:00. Plenty of time to finish it before game 2 and could play 3 real baseball games instead of this stupid 7 inning crap.

The stadium wouldn't be empty if it was played right now.

No after the 11 o'clock game they will empty the stadium and you will reenter the game with your 330 tickets

If LSU is ahead in the bottom of the 7th tomorrow, then I'm fine with it. Take em any way that we can get em.

ND last week counts as a W, even though it was 7 innings.

When the decision was made last night, the weather forecast showed rain until around 5pm this afternoon. That obviously changed overnight.

They couldn't have planned for getting in 9 today and changed it?

Kind of hard to make a last minute change with all the game management people the need to staff a game.

Retired old men kicking people out the gold section and kids off of school working concessions hard to come by?

How hard would it have been to tell them last night when and where to be today... then the rain sticks around, cancel and tell him to be here saturday? They plan to get here early today instead of tomorrow. Cancel.

You're not telling them to be somewhere at last minute; you're telling them NOT to be somewhere.

Look I'm not going to argue with you. You are obviously an expert on what it takes to run an event like this. I'm off to lunch.

Don't be silly, TC. Ell knows from personal experience that you can announce a college baseball game can be rescheduled to be played at any time, especially when the "college" averages fewer than 50 fans in average attendance. Just make sure the Coke machine is full and plugged in.....
