So moving it up is bad for tv, but moving it back is ok?


Well it hasn't been moved back. You are comparing a certainty versus a possibility.

Im no Pat Shingleton but I keep fast forwarding on my radar app and I'm not seeing anything until after 5-6pm. What am I missing?

Have you even checked the forecast today. It may rain but if you are trying to claim it's a certainty I really have nothing left to say.

Yep. If bbap and LSUR were in charge, LSU would have played App State in 2008 as scheduled because it is on TV! and you are comparing a possibility with a certainty.

And every year we get these same uninformed threads complaining about the same thing by people who don't understand the logistics of holding a regional, televised baseball tournament.



I feel like the paradigm has shifted with WatchESPN. No reason a sorry game like LSU/Texas southern can't just be on the app.

The entire thread is about today's game.

Not really. When people start saying "it cant be moved because of tv...."

That brings up the reasoning. I am arguing there are times when that reasoning is very illogical

They are jumping ahead today despite their faulty logic. There is plenty precedent for moving all kinds of games (even those massively more important than college baseball games) for weather. If rain was certain to interfere, the games would be moved unless the NCAA is stupid again like they were in our regional a couple years back.

Is English not your first language?

If a game is moved back it's because there was no choice.

It was raining or lightening so the game could not be played as scheduled.

It wasn't an option, it was out of necessity to move the game back.

Now, again, what was your previous screen name?

It's regionals. It's raining. We've handled this before, people...

But every year:

Would it not make sense to film the game played earlier, and then just air it at the scheduled time?
