PM said on the radio he liked the day game because it wasn’t as susceptible to the afternoon T-Storms that could delay the game until very late.


Yes, and if there is bad weather earlier in the day, being first in line once play resumes is a very good thing.

don’t mind having the early game, but with it being at home, wouldn’t lsu want that crazy atmosphere?


It’s been discussed why you choose the early game.

Let’s not act like the stadium won’t be full Friday at 2 pm.

Look back over the past 39 years and see how often LSU played game 1 in the day. For the people who a true baseball folks - they know the reason why

Almost everyone does it now. Skip was the first to do it.

Talk to your shift manager at McD’s, see if you can switch w/ someone who doesn’t care about baseball.

would rather have Oregon State melt in the Sun on Friday. They are going to hate the humidity. With the sun, it’s going to be throw up hot.

The weather issue is so far overblown by this point in the season. Every player on all of these teams has played in hot weather before. It’s not the factor that people like to pretend that it is.

Some people work at night, too. Don’t be so selfish.

Because we want 24+ hours between games to rest. This is for the team, not the fans


This along with if there is any type of rain delay, you don’t want to be the ones playing at midnight

I doubt that Oregon State has played in the heat and humidity that they would have seen at 1pm on Friday.

I’m calling bullshite on your take.

Most hosts in regionals play the second or night game. LSU usually deviates from that and opts for the early game. Tradition?

No, I'm just genuinely curious. Forgive me for asking a question on a message board.

Get it over and done with. You have more time to recover, and you're not sitting around all day praying that it doesn't rain.

More and more hosts have started playing the day game. I think I counted 7 or 8 this year.

You would think Friday night would be ideal for attendance and ratings

It won’t matter. I’m sure that every ticket will be gobbled up. I know we have played the opening game numerous times before. I would be surprised if it’s not packed at 2:00

We’ve played Friday afternoon in every home regional since 2013, I believe. Not sure why this is such a surprise to anyone.
