Time is not a factor. Weather is going to be great. 7 inning games don't belong in college baseball. If LSU loses one of these games by 1 run I will be pissed.

Is Tulane and air force playing two 7 inning games?

With noon being a 7 inning game, there will be a gap before the 4:00 game so everyone can run home and watch the basketball game.

They almost always play 7 inning games for DH. I think its to go easy on the bullpens.

Stupid logic. The guys who throw more than an inning on a regular Friday probably aren't throwing Saturday anyway.

If your BP cant handle a double header you are probably in trouble.

It's not an exhibition at all. These games count. They could hurt our RPI.

Mission success.

Baseball is 9 innings. Not 7.

These are academy kids on opening weekend, not a fully stocked SEC school.

Chill.

LSU and Army are playing shortened games Saturday in part to accommodate what is now a hectic schedule for Army.

"They flew into New Orleans (Thursday), spent the night, drove here today, drove back to New Orleans to play (Friday), now they have to drive back here again tomorrow and play two games instead of one, then have to drive back to New Orleans again for a noon game Sunday at Tulane," Mainieri said.

Well this makes sense. I didn't consider army playing 4 games.

SEC series, once upon a time and for many moons, were Fri night openers and DH Saturdays -- 7 innings per pop. Call today regression; call it fate; call it luck; call it karma. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that we were destined to play 7 inning games.

Hey Mainieri, quit scheduling two different teams to come into town the same weekend. Nobody else in college baseball does that Mickey Mouse shite. So instead of playing 27 innings this weekend and using a full bullpen to get some live action, LSU is only going to plaly 23 innings.

Moron!

opening weekend pretty much all pitchers are on a pitch count to stretch them out before going full bore.
