How many times can folks post about this? It has been answered lots of times recently on this board.

SEC rules: teams MUST complete the baseball series in THREE days. If you start on Thursday, you must finish up on Saturday. You cannot start a game on Sunday.

Because ole miss took sundays and only 1 Mississippi school can play on Sunday, except on Saturday’s.

ncaa says if a thursday - saturday series no play on sunday...can't have a three game series over 4 days or somthing like that...

I can’t post the link to the SEC Commissioner's Regulations or copy the section. Start on page 34.

The only time the rule for Th-Sat games doesn’t apply is the last weekend of the regular season.

No, it makes perfectly good sense. 3 days to play 3 games is the correct rule. If series that start on Thursday were allowed to go into Sunday because of weather and they were allowed 4 days it would them teams an advantage over teams that played friday - sunday. The rule of 3 days to play 3 games is correct.


I agree. I don’t know if this is the actual reason, but just think of the huge advantage a team like LSU would have if they got a guy like Cowen an extra day on the weekend, and he could go Thursday and Sunday. It helps the team with the top bullpen arms if it allows them to go twice. I mean, if Cowen could get 12 outs Thursday and 6-9 on a Sunday, that’s a big advantage for LSU who only has 2 guys (so far) that they can count on in the pen.

I don’t know if that has anything to do with the rule, but it makes sense.

Look at State’s schedule this year. They play on Sunday a lot. There is probably a reason this series started on Thursday instead of Friday, but it has nothing to do with the Lord’s day.

State athletic department was sold to the Mormons of Mississippi

Also, Starkville is Mormon for trailer park, and Kim Mulkey’s son ran track and was the largest baby ever born in Louisiana.

Everyone plays Thurs - Sat last weekend of season so no one can get an advantage

It has nothing to do with State not being able to play on Sundays. You have 3 days to get the series completed, regardless of whether you start on Thursday or Friday.
