I just want to watch Frog Baseball tonight!!!

There is more rain coming from the south, as long as there is no lightning it should be good.

It's going to be heavy rain and most likely lightning.

It's about to hit my house so I'll let everyone know.

Tarp is back on the field.

 

[Frogenstein]

They took it off and immediately put it back on.

 

[Diehard]

They really to find a better time to play baseball.

Does anyone know if Statbroadcast will be available for tonight's game? I tried looking at it for the CSUF/Sac State game last night and it required a special password to log in.

Edit: Looks like it is password protected.

I understand TV times are a factor but.....Good Lord, they could see this coming. I mean what happens to TV when there is a rain delay. Duh, they bounce around and show other games. So why not make the call this morning and start game one at 11 AM. If the DBU game started right now and had no further delays, the Frogs wouldn't start playing until at least 9:30. I would expect the Frogs to get screwed and have to play 2 games tomorrow. And why is it the #1 seed (Tech) and number #4 seed (Delaware) get to play the 1st game in the Lubbock Regional?

Good post, PP.

The real question is, however, should I start drinking now, or wait until a bit later?

 

[MTfrog5]

I say let it just piss rain for the next 4 days and we advance without playing a game since we are the highest seed remaining

Seems fair to me.

I assume that the host team gets to set the schedule for the first day. Most choose to play the later game so that it's easier for more of their fans to attend and at this time of year it's not 90+ degrees later in the day.

Makes sense but why not at least move the game times up to avoid the weather. It isn't like most all of the conference tourneys didn't have 9 AM games. I guess they will use Monday and even Tuesday as rain days if required.

 

[GoFrog Yourself]

I'm guessing best we can hope for is both games get rained out and we start tomorrow. Playing two tomorrow would be brutal

My plan was to catch the last few innings of the 1st game and then go to parking lot and pound beers between games. So screw it. I am drinking now and may not even go to any game.

 

[Big Frog II]

This weather stinks!

This was my guess as well.

Under normal weather circumstances TCU fans would be pissed if we were playing the earlier game.

In Fort Worth, most of our fans can work a full day and still make the night game.

In buttdarn Lubbuck, this is not the case... so might as well give your team as much rest as possible for game 2.

Any area high schools with a domed stadium? /sarcasm

Answer=Should not have stopped in the first place.
