Why so many afternoon games to start the season?

Not complaining, but this is definitely different than in the past.

Last year it was because of extreme cold.
But JJ said he thinks opening day should be an early start every year.
At least this year we knew in advance.

I assume, for whatever reason, they are doing it the way JJ prefers.
He seems to have a reason for everything he does.

Because Jay wants it that way. Expect it to be this way the first weeks of the season in future years.

CJJ said he is looking out after LSU. Early starts gives him flexibility for LSU to play every game this 4 day weekend if weather becomes a factor.

He explained in a press conference yesterday that he set it up like this because this year he has 2 different teams coming in and they have 2 games per day. He put LSU the early games to make sure even if the weather is an issue they get in all their games.
I also think he would rather have his pitchers throwing during the warmest part of the day vs a night game where temps can get into the 40s and maybe even 30s at this time of the year.
As said, everything he does is scripted as is for a reason. This seems to be a schedule deal to get in games and also a safety precaution for pitchers.

Global cooling.

Jay would rather play in front of 1800 people instead of 8,000.
I’m not talking about opening day, plenty of people will take off of work for that one. Let’s see what the actual attendance looks like on Monday against Central Arkansas and Thursday against Northern Illinois.

Probably not, some people like to play golf on the weekends.

Let CJJ work, we'll benefit at the end of the season.

I fail to see how playing a game at 2:00 on Monday instead of 6:00 will benefit us at the end of the season.

I think JJ would rather have a healthy pitching staff, and if he thinks this will help make that more possible, then he values that more than having the stands packed in February.

Yeah because it would be packed even if those games were at 6:30

I never said it would be packed. But it’d be multiple times greater than the 1800 you will get at 2:00 on a workday (minus opening day).
