Weather is still gonna be an issue.

If I were going to the game, Friday night.

I’m not though, and Friday afternoon would be better for the team and scheduling.

Seems the home team trend is to play early,.... get more rest.

Always play the early game. You get additional rest before the 2nd game on Saturday plus it reduces the potential for delays/minimized rest before game 2 weather issues. It is inconvenient for the fans, but the goal is to win the regional

I think the rest thing is overblown, assuming it goes to schedule. The 4 hrs of extra rest probably gets negated a bit by having to play in the hot May sun.

But if Game 2 gets delayed to a start where you are finishing at 1am. Or if Game 1 gets finished Friday but Game 2 gets postponed fo create a Day 2 doubleheader, that’s where playing early really provides a huge advantage.

Agree. I think it’s way worse to play in the hot *** sun

I think the rest issue is WAY overblown... these dudes have been playing 3 games a day in tournaments since they were 6 years old.

Let's pack 16K in there Friday night and rock out...

(I know, I know... we're gonna play Friday afternoon... sigh...)

This. Always always always play the early game. Always. Ask yourself what would Skip Bertman do? That’s right. Early game.

It’s not rest. It’s all weather. Much less risk to play early.

We’re talking regionals.. not the Egg Bowl

Actually, I wish we were one of the Saturday, Sunday, Monday teams.
My son’s Scout troop is going to St, Louis to catch a Cards/Cubs game on Saturday. We will be coming back Sunday.

I’ll probably be that guy that gets hit with a foul ball, cause I’ll be watching the Dawgs play on my phone, if they playing at same time.
