Baseball Schedule

Got my season tickets yesterday and noticed 8 games in 10 days with the last 3 being SEC games.
Is CPM trying to simulate SEC tourney or Omaha setup? Seems like a lot.
Our pitching staff better be as deep as CPM says it is b/c that is brutal.
Fri, Mar 09 Michigan - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 7:00 p.m.
Sat, Mar 10 Michigan - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 6:30 p.m.
Sun, Mar 11 Notre Dame - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 3:00 p.m.
Mon, Mar 12 Notre Dame - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 6:30 p.m.
Wed, Mar 14 Northwestern St. - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 6:30 p.m.
Fri, Mar 16 Mississippi St. * - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 7:00 p.m.
Sat, Mar 17 Mississippi St. * - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 6:00 p.m.
Sun, Mar 18 Mississippi St. * - Baton Rouge, La. (Alex Box Stadium) 1:00 p.m.

Dang.
At least 5 of the 8 games are against crappy teams.

There is 2 other stretches like this during the season, and there have been the last couple years since they moved the start of the season back, where have you been? And why would you point out this one instead of the 8 games in 10 days that includes Bama and Florida?
And that stretch you mentioned, only Miss St. is worth a frick.....and thats a maybe

Yeah Notre Dame and Michigan both were good about 7 or so years ago but not so much anymore. They were both under .500 last year.

With EVERY ONE of those games being at home and our starting rotation being as good as it is, I don't see us going any worse than 5-3 in that stretch with my expectation to be a reasonable 6-2.
No reason not to win at least 3 of the 4 against those yankee college baseball programs and needing to take 2 of 3 against a middling Miss State team at home.
This stretch isn't even close to how hard the schedule is going to get later on in SEC play. I hope we can stay just above .500 against the competiton we face this year getting Florida and South Carolina.

First off I do not remember 8 games in 10 days last year but I could have missed it.
Also the Bama/Florida stretch is 8 games in 11 days with 2 days off on Sun and Mon to rest after the 1st 3 games. That is somewhat like a normal weeks schedule than the 1 day off after 4 games.
I will give you that 5 of those games are on the raod and the competition will be harder.
I don't care who we play though 72 innings in 10 days is a bunch for any pitching staff. All it takes is 1 starter getting pulled early in a game to screw up the bullpen for the SEC games.

Honestly, I can't see us pitching anyone of importance in that last Notre Dame game or the midweek game against NW State.
We're gonna want everyone fresh and ready for SEC play.

It'll be a good chance for a couple of guys to get a chance to make a name for themselves. This stretch will be good to see how deep we really are on the mound.

It's not really LSU's choice I'm sure. We have the Big Ten and all the other northern teams to blame for the compressed season. I'm sure you'll remember 2-3 years ago when the start of the college season got pushed back two weeks because it was "too cold" for the northerners and the whined about it. So now you have the same amount of games you used to, just in a shorter window. That means more mid-week games and more stretches like that.

Lsu has played many Fri-Sat-Sun__Tues-Wed__Fri-Sat-Sun stretches in the past, even before the season was shortened. But I do not recall a Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon__Wed__Fri-Sat-Sun setup. In my opinion that Monday game puts alot more pressure on the bullpen than the normal setup.

Don't be a Baseball-Tard. Do you really think that the coach will compromise what he wants to use on an SEC weekend in a mid-week game? If you have been paying close enough attention from section 214 or wherever you sit, you will notice that tons of guys who pitch in the mid week games are on the staff just for that reason...to pitch in mid week games. And you will notice that the coach uses the midweek games to get the weekend pitchers a specific number of innings of work. It doesnt matter how many games are played in how many days...the coach isn't going to screw up his weekend plan during the midweek.

And just for fun, I looked up MSU's schedule...they play 11 games in 13 days before they play us the weekend of March 16-18. They may have it worse than LSU does. In other words, you are making a big deal out of nothing...and there are too many college baseball games, period.

I remember back when you could play an unlimited number of games there would be some teams like Texas or Miami that would play 14-15 straight days.
