why the hell didnt TV demand a review?

Who knows

I’m a little east of the stadium, pouring buckets here.

Breaking out the night time coffee and burning an offering to the sports gods. This one needs to restart at 10:30 so Auburn burns an arm too.

 

[fryeguy93]

Nobody reviewed it

The outfielders reacted like it was a hr.
No protest or demand for review

 

[kiddiedoc]

w

was there no review??????

They showed a replay in slow motion on + and it seemed to clearly bounce off the wall. How else would it carom so cleanly?

There’s a non zero chance this was all CTV. If you’ve heard him speak in interviews since the turf was installed, he raves about it draining water and he loves not having rain delays/rain outs. He scoffs at Basilio whenever he asks about potential weather and potential double headers. He hates playing two. We’ve also played in monsoons in prior years with no stoppage as well.

Not saying he had the final say but I know he is all for playing tonight.

That's fine. But can we wait 15 for the storm to pass?

Someone posted this.

Umps are the only ones to enforce the rules. And that is to start and stop a game.

The home team until game starts

No I totally agree. Dumb decision by whoever that made it.

well if TV didnt request a review then that is on him.

 

[patrick]

Well the Vols spotted Auburn a cpl runs - so we have to get them back and then some!

I know the situation sucks, but honestly this is a good opportunity for the team to nut up and learn to overcome adversity. They’ve lacked confidence this season. This is a good chance for them to find out what kind of team they are and build momentum for the final stretch of the season.

I feel I know baseball well, but I don't know this part of it. If we are unable to play tonight, do we start tomorrow (or Sunday) at 2-0 since we only played half an inning in the first? or do we just start over?

Resume where game was suspended. So down

I agree with this. To me it would be a slap in the face that they make our ace pitch and shut him down. It should give us an edge. If we let this affect us and we mope we don’t have a chance in the post season. The last 4 years we would have come out with our hair on fire. This team needs a spark!

Just hard to believe the amount of bafoonery on this one.

 

[LivinginthePast]

what’s the verdict? I thought I heard game was cancelled so I tuned out. Must have been lady vols. Dang it why is it 2-0.

 

[ffemtp]

Definitely no a HR

 

[vol66]

I have seen teams move games on Friday to earlier in the day. It would be one thing if the game isn’t sold out, but it is, so I have not a clue.

perhaps self-inflicted but who knows

 

[Christian Lowe]

Someone in another forum is asking why can’t pitchers start twice in a weekend

 

[TigerMan]

So, if the bad weather continues, and even through tomorrow, I’m guessing you’d play a DH on Sunday, and just not play game 3 at all. This has happened in the past. LSU only played 29 SEC games in one of the last 3 seasons I believe. Can’t remember which year, but I’ll look it up in a bit. So I’m guessing they’d resume game 1 on Sunday, and then play game 2 directly afterwards. I guess there’s a possibility gsme 3 could be made up as a midweek game, if both teams have the availability, but that’s a big if. Best scenario to hope for, is to find a way to get game 1 in the books before Sunday, and then play a DH on Sunday. Whatever the case, someone made a HUGE mistake starting this game.

Can't think of a taller hill to climb under the circumstances. Let's see what this team is made of and how they respond. It will tell us a lot about who and what we are.
