Looking at the NWS NO/Baton Rouge radar. It looks doubtful.

Yeah I didn't understand why they didn't start at 9 or 10 am.
Rain really doesn't help us imo. Plumlee and pilk will still be done. They get their game 1 starter back tomorrow
Tin hat conspiracy: USM knew what the weather was going to do, why didn't they the move the games up?
After all they move on to the super if we don't get all the games in.
He threw 97 pitches yesterday. I would be shocked if we see him at all today or tomorrow for that matter. I think if it gets down to the 9th inning of one game maybe he can give you an out but that would be it. I'm not for it though. No use in risking the kids arm next year over 1 game.
Fixing to have a little window to get started here. If what's just below hburg misses to the east, the next potential significant rain is bt red stick and Nola.
3:30 first pitch. Should be able to get both games in today.
Any chance we get a game in this afternoon. What's going on with the weather there?
Here's a quote about Davidson's pitcher (Davidson is the team that eliminated UNC and is going to their first Super ever)
"Durin O’Linger: As if 330 postseason pitches wasn’t enough, Davidson’s ace followed up Friday’s 94-pitch outing with 34 pitches in relief Sunday to secure a trip to the super regionals."

My buzzard buddy that is there just said 3:30
I think that was one of the reasons that they chose to play in the first game of the regional, although some said that was what the players wanted and it was to give them more rest. The games can still be played tomorrow, but the percentage of rain tomorrow is 70% and mainly after 1PM.

I am not going back and forth over Pilk. It is my belief he can give us 2 innings in game 2 if needed. I will stand alone in that thought I guess but y'all will start asking for him in game 2 in a tight game with the pressure on for us to close the game out. Maybe we will get lucky and we don't see that scenario.
