Waiting patiently at O'Hare to see the finish.

Nice and cool in the AC.
I'm glad you added the almost qualifier. August in Houston.
Pulled the tarp off the infield. Lot of water on it due to waiting too long to put it down. It is going to take awhile to make it playable.
They took the tarp off and are working to dry it while it's still raining. Hope the view they showed just made some sprinkles look like rain

I understand why it is necessary. However it angers me when the roof is closed in April or May and the temps are in the low 80s with low humidity.
Who is going to close?
I heard it that way during the interview. I might have heard wrong. But that's the way I heard it.

Seattle pretty much needs the retractable roof due to the super frequent rain. Theirs is kind of neat, in that when it rolls off it actually sits over the rail yard next to the stadium.McInnis said:jkag89 said:Baseball in almost always better outdoors than in a domed stadium.

I've read this four times and I still don't understand it.Agdad041216 said:
Schlossnagle said a committee member last year said ole miss one and done helped them not having won one losing 2.
Better that Ole Miss went 0-1, than 1-2.
0-1 in tournament is evidently preferred to 1-2, where a team would win the first game and lose the next 2 double elimination games.Bluecat_Aggie94 said:I've read this four times and I still don't understand it.Agdad041216 said:

Me too. English is pretty much my first and only language and I understand every one of those words. Just not in that order.

I'm not old enough to have walked to school barefoot in the snow, but I do remember a game in Colt Stadium!
During the sec tournament last year ole miss lost their first game. Helping them get into the NCAA tournament. Because they didn't win one and lose 2.

Understand that. And now understand what was said.
Me neither. Don't understand how going 1-2 is any worse than going 0-1 especially since the the two losses would come at the hands of teams that should at the very least improve SoS.Bluecat_Aggie94 said:I've read this four times and I still don't understand it.Agdad041216 said:

At the moment, there is not a projected restart time yet.

It's the RPI wonkiness that sometimes winning against the wrong team at the right time hurts the metrics vs not playing the games at all.jkag89 said:Me neither.

Then the system is flawed and either should be ditched or at the very least not overly relied upon.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I see we have some time to kill. Let's play Name That Movie. No asking Google, etc. You either know it or you don't.

Name that movie ... first to answer correctly gets a big bag of nothing.

Going to suck when those Auburn fans have to watch the first pitch to their game at the crack of dawn.
Oh come on, make it more difficult

Nacho Libre. One of the greatest movies.
Lots of variables but in simplest term your winning % decreases more by going 1-2 than it does by going 0-1. Also keep in mind it dings you twice because your opponents opponents record (yours) is part of it as well.
Tuesday's games are in someways a playing game so if you lose on Tuesday it's kind of like you never win the tournament anyway might be why people think it's worse to lose on Tuesday and go home
In the press conference for this game. Around the 6 minute mark Schloss says over the winter a committee member told him the one loss for ole miss was better than 1 win and 2 losses. I went back and listened again.
Why? Idk.

That field still looked pretty wet!
Radar shows no rain. It looks to be a matter of how long it takes to get the field ready to play.
I didn't have a clue but I'm sure my nephews would have known instantly.trouble said:
