We play 4 games per weekend for the first two weeks

And then a week on the road plus a 4 game week before starting SEC play. Any idea why we front loaded the schedule so much? I would've expected that would result in a week or 2 during conference play without a midweek game but that only occurs the last week of the season. Maybe after last season he wanted the pitchers to get more work early on in case of all the 10 run rules?

I think it was scheduled to simulate playing games in a tournament like timetable. Give the team that experience in preparation for them maybe having to do it in a winner advance/loser go home situation at the end of the season.

It's likely the smartest way to duplicate playing games in an extended run like like we had in Omaha last year. Best to do it early in the year when players are fresh and use the extra innings for player development and evaluation.
