Any idea why we front loaded the schedule so much

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.

I guess but it also puts a strain on your pitchers early in the year in cool weather before they've been stretched out. I guess this year we're pretty deep so it's not much of a concern. I liked last years method of doing 1 high stress weekend in nonconference and thats it. Change is always hard to accept, but I know better than to doubt Jay on things like this.
