Terrible outlook - chance of rain all 3 days.

The only time windows with less than 50% chance of rain are:

Friday - after 8pm
Saturday - before noon and after 5
Sunday - after 8pm

If this holds true when do you all expect the games to happen?

Maybe a slight delay on Friday. Saturday I think will start on time and have some delays possibly. Sunday is going to be difficult if the forecast doesn't change.

Luckily since it's a bus trip they could probably push back Sunday later in the day.

This sucks because our pitching is so thin. Not sure Moss and Sims can start and then come back after a long, or several, delays. Then we're into our bullpen.

Yep. And you have to start Sims on Saturday just to make sure you get him in. There are a lot of things stacking up against us before we even start. We need Sdao to have his best outing, pray that the rain isn't too disruptive, and hope tu isn't playing well either.

You have more faith than me, in our bullpen. But you're younger and still full of youthful naivete

I think our bullpen is going to be great this weekend.

They will be loathe to move gametime on either Friday or Saturday because both are set for linear television, and I don't think they will have to. Looks to me like we should get both in fairly close to on time, but can't completely rule out a delay. Sunday could be a little trickier with the travel curfew in effect, but the probabilities and window usually narrow as we get closer to the day.

Just outscore them.. then you don't have to worry about the bullpen! After 9 innings, be one run ahead.. that's all that matters!

That's good news! This is currently on their website.

Those percentages are for the entire day, not specific to the game window. Thus, they are just about meaningless with regards to finding a 3.5 hour window to play.

Understand. They also are just guessing this far out for a 3.5 hour window

We need Air Force Ag to reappear on here.

I like Weather Underground. This is what they are showing currently:

Any chance they would consider a doubleheader Saturday? 2 and 6? Sunday may be tough to get in if there is thunder/lighting in the forecast all day.

Friday and Saturday seem like they will be able to get in.

2 and 6 was a mess this past weekend. Barely got back into the stadium in time and there were plenty of people still in line outside when the game started. For the t.u. series, the crowd is going to be even bigger. If they're going to clear the stands and then drag their feet about letting people back in, they need to give at least 1.5-2 hours between games.

They will wait until Friday night to make that decision, but it would certainly be a possibility. We've done that twice already this year with rain forecast for getaway day.

It's parents weekend. I highly doubt you'll see a double header

The parents only stay for five innings. They won't care.

Whoever in the AD keeps asking that we schedule a home series for parent's weekend needs to be fired.

THIS!!!! If for no other reason than by separating events that each bring in tons of people, you open the opportunity for that much more revenue for local businesses.

Isn't parents weekend scheduled well in advance and the SEC dictates the series schedules?

Also, it is Chilifest weekend and a large track meet weekend. Too much for one weekend! But, some of it isn't in A&M's control.

Schools can request to play at home, or not play at home, certain weekends. That doesn't mean the request will be granted, but the number of times we have played on parents weekend (I can only think of a couple of times in recent memory where we haven't) tells me that the AD consistently requests a home series that weekend. Maybe that's being directed from elsewhere, but it's stupid.

For baseball player parents and season ticket holders from out of town, it's a real hardship because hotels are scarce and expensive.

As a season ticket holder that lives out of town, has a junior getting her ring, a FTAB fish event on Saturday morning and a nephew that plays baseball for the horns, this weekend is going to be painfully amazing. We ended up getting an Airbnb with my t-sip in laws to avoid the drive back and forth gem Houston.

My FTAB fish is the 24th Aggie in my family back to 1927, I only pull one direction! I can cheer for my nephew's individual success without supporting his team as a whole!

They are notoriously slow in updating the website - esp the weather. Since this is a big weekend (Chili Fest, Parents Weekend, Ring Day, and the baseball series) they may update it faster than usual.

Still 40%/30%/30% tonight. That's for all day.

So, this morning on Weather Underground, Friday looks pretty good; worst case is we might be slightly delayed staring the game. Saturday, there is a chance that we have to deal with rain. Not enough of a probability for them to move game time, at least at this point, but it's a possibility we might have a delay for a stray thunderstorm. Sunday still looks like the biggest problem, with thunderstorms forecast for mid-afternoon. Sunday morning looks pretty good, so maybe we move up first pitch Sunday to 11 a.m.
