Forecast for rain this weekend beginning Friday evening in Fayetteville.

Any thoughts of when and how the three game schedule may be adjusted?

I have Friday tickets and just trying to plan ahead. Thanks!

If a high chance of rain on Friday evening they'll either try to play Friday afternoon or a DH on Saturday. I guess it is possible they could move it to Thursday but I think that is unlikely unless they think Friday is going to be a complete washout sometime Wednesday afternoon.

The series is already set for Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

He means it could be a Thursday DH instead of Saturday.

7-inning doubleheader would be okay

less of the bullpen required

Fair point, but slim chance that happens

Agreed. I think it's more likely it just gets moved up on Friday. Lots of time left for the forecast to change though.

Forecast up here in the hills isn't looking good. We'll get the Thursday game in (it's going to be extremely windy). We had better play the Friday game early, because it's going to storm Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday are going to be a washout. There's also a pretty decent chance of severe weather. I don't see us getting all 3 in.

But then we don't get the chance of two grand slams in the ninth!

I know. I guess I should have made myself clearer and stated they might opt to play a Thursday double header.

I think you meant 7-inning run-rule doubleheader wins by the Aggies

That's what I'm seeing, too. I'm hoping for a Friday doubleheader starting at 1:00. I think that would be early enough given the current forecast, but they have been gradually creeping up the start of the precipitation and the rain chances in each forecast.

They don't like to reschedule a doubleheader for the first day. and I'm hoping that with Good Friday being a holiday for a lot of folks, they will be willing to play a lot of day baseball in order to beat the rain.

And, more bad news for the folks in Fayetteville: I was in College Station for the hail storm Kentucky weekend, then we had a major hail storm in Wichita Falls on April 5. I'm travelling to Fayetteville for the series (unless someone wants to pay me not to come).

A pilot and thinking of flying up, took a look at the long term progs and nixed the idea quick. Gonna be dicey in the hills for 3 games of ball

Forecast is only getting worse.

If they do like they did Tennessee weekend, sometime before game 1 on Thursday they will announce a doubleheader to be played Friday.

Definitely need a doubleheader on Thursday or Friday. I guess on Friday is more realistic, and I guess they'd start at like 11am if rain is scheduled to creep in for Friday evening.

Well makes me feel better. Was talking to wife about an RV trip. She rolled her eyes.....

I would love to see a Thursday game.

Softball is in CoMo for a Thursday-Saturday series and have switched to 2 on Thursday and 1 on Friday.

Friday night is looking slightly better (as in, we can probably squeeze in a night game), but Saturday is still looking like a washout. Baseball usually waits as long as possible to make a decision, so I suspect we will hear something late tomorrow afternoon.

is Coach Earley not trying to demand we do a doubleheader to get all 3 games in? Arkansas couldn't care less if a game gets cancelled. Our postseason is what's on the line. We're way more likely to win 1 out of 3 than 1 out of 2.

Talk about jumping to conclusions. Would you like him to post a transcript of his telephone conversations on the internet so that you can judge whether or not he's been sufficiently agressive as the coach of the visiting team? Not going to happen.

Weather update for up here in my neck of the woods. Thursday and Friday will both be VERY windy (20-25mph steady with 40mph gusts), but we should be able to get games in those days. A few stray popup showers late Friday evening could be possible. The severe stuff starts in the wee hours on Saturday. There's absolutely zero chance anything will be played on Saturday, so we best get it in on Thursday/Friday.

This time of year in Arkansas, yes. I was working the night the tornadoes hit last year. So I would take it seriously.

Given our bullpen being able to throw everybody in game 1&2 because we don't have to play a game 3 makes winning 1 out of 2 IMO about as likely as winning 1 out of 3

Not to get ahead of ourselves but if we were up 3-2 after 5 in game one I would be ok with using the "Sunday" Starter in long relief in game 1

Seems safe to say they won't be playing two today. Maybe they'll play two tomorrow.

It's a good thing our series this past weekend was Thu-Sat so Myles is only moved up one day instead of two.

I should be able to cover both games of the DH tomorrow. The late game might get iffy.

I may actually be able to do the night game. I'll jump in on the game thread if so.
