Baseball. Diamond Dogs Sweep WKU, 5-1

Looks like we moved the game to right when the weather is coming in. Isn't even supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon.

Question: do conference games have to be made up, no matter what? .

No. First tie breaker is head to head. Then it gets rather complicated, but conference win percentage is involved. We need at least one W today.

The weather is holding to exactly what was predicted earlier in the week. There is a chance of storms after noon today with the bad stuff moving in tonight (wicked looking cold front has it snowing in West Texas now). The bad stuff is suppose to move out in the morning.

We will play a game tomorrow if we don't get both games in today.

Just looking outside, the weather looks ominous.

We could pass FIU to grab 6th place if we sweep WKU today.
FIU is playing at FAU.

I'm in MS, but it looks like they would have played the game today at noon. I looked at the weather in Ruston and it looks around 5 pm is when the bad weather will take place...

I guess if they keep changing the forecast then they have to be right at some point,

It has not changed since Wednesday.

I was checking 3 weather apps this morning and they showed wildly disparate precipitation percentages (e.g., 10-65% at noon). At one point, I had weather.com open simultaneously on two devices and they weren't even the same. These are tough calls to make.

Yes, I have noticed the sources seem to "guess" differently on purpose. That's why I trust AccuWeather the most. As you recall, when playing baseball and/or golf you need the most reliable predictions. Not sure about the Shreveport meteorologists, but the ones in Monroe are pretty good. They are usually very close in their predictions.

I also understand the decision makers trying to avoid the cell headed NE and toward Ruston right now. It would have surely delayed a 1:00 start. Hopefully another one will not build in behind it when the rain chances are even higher.

Basically Monroe > Shreveport. Shreveport must suck. I'm only getting my weather forecasts from Monroe meteorologists from now on. Thanks for the insight PawDawg!

Monroe got it right way earlier in the week. Their forecast never changed the entire time. Amazing.

I'm Listening to a tornado siren now.

We may live a long time before we see a pitcher the caliber of Mr Harris in a Tech uniform. 9 innings, 1 run, 0 walks. The man is a warrior on the mound.
