How much time do they need to move a game from one time/day to another? Friday and Saturday are iffy. Could they play a DH on Sunday if needed? Would be hard for travel curfew.

They could start the games at 10 am on Sunday if they had to. Problem with the the first two days is they are on TV so you are going to have to stick with those start times.

I did not see that the Friday game was on TV. Thought they could move it to 7 pm on Saturday.

If Friday were to get rained out, they could move it to Saturday. But the regularly scheduled game on Saturday would have to be played at Noon.

Wish it was BR. No rain here tonight- Sunday.

Was also gorgeous here during Vandy trip. I fear our rainy weekends will happen during home series.

Ugh..... I didn't even put it together. Us playing away.


Like the other posters said, they could put a doubleheader in.


If it happens, I'm curious to see if that travel curfew shows up again. I had never heard of that until last weekend.

They don't have to stick to start just because of tv. It might just not be in tv. If you've never seen the curfew you must not follow baseball very closely

Yeah from the look of the radar and what is moving towards Gainesville, I don't see them playing tonight

LSU has a 4 p.m. curfew for Sunday’s game against the Gators. No inning can start after that time. The game starts at noon. The Tigers must catch a charter flight.

They can't move to the start time up to try and avoid rain. They could obviously push it back.

It's possible they could move the time up and try to fit in two games. 10:30 should do it. ETA: Maybe not.

Also, if they finish 1 game Fri/Sat and start the second, they can finish it Sunday as well and hope to fit the final one in.

The biggest problem will be lightning. It happens more in florida than any other place in the world.

One thing to remember though is if that they start a game on Fri/Sat and finish it on Sunday, it has to go 9 innings. Then the regular Sunday game would be 7.

And yeah lightning is what held up Game 2 of the Super last year even though it didn't rain at all at the Box.
