Eastern Kentucky - Opening Weekend

[FredJacket]

I would laugh but the idiots that I play tennis with here in Albany are insisting that we play Saturday morning. It is Albany but I don't think it will help much. Why do colleges start the baseball season in the middle of February?

Because they aren't allowed to start in January?

When you are freezing your tail off this weekend at those games you may change your tune, smart aleck. Still pretty clever riposte.

The weekend and whiskey are going to start early Plan to be in chat to share unfiltered comments.

Thanks for that Fred. Was planning to see what time we played on Friday to see whether I should go to work or not. Now, may just take the day off!

I don't know. Weather.com is showing a high of 45 degrees. Beats the 20 degrees we have here in Cincinnati with a wind chill of 11. And about 6 inches of snow on the ground with more expected tonight. Current forecast for Friday is high of 27, low of 2. I'd take 45 watching a ballgame. Perhaps I should have made the trip down to ATL for opening weekend despite the pandemic. I wonder why northern teams play on the road for the first month of the season...

We're good in the middle infield. Good stuff from Wilhite!!
ETA/PSA ... this tweet preceeded the time change for Friday. First pitch is 2PM.

Some highlights regarding EKU...

12-2 last year with an RPI rank of 165 (not really enough games played for RPI to mean much for 2020).
They had a huge win AT LSU the 2nd weekend of the season... a 2-0 shutout on Friday.
Their only 2 losses where the Sat/Sun games in Baton-Rouge.
They have a pre-season All-American in Jr Daniel Harris IV.

I'm getting ready! Less than 1.5 hours to 1st pitch!
GO YELLOW JACKETS!!

Starting Lineup. Of note... no true Fr starting.

Pregame with CDH. Good to hear Wiley's voice again.

CDH says perhaps the 2 best players in fall/preseason were at one position (Catcher). Holland starts today. Parada will start tomorrow.

I don't have cable, cut the cord. I have ESPN+ and I had ACCN on AT&T.... I guess I'll watch the replay later? Does WREK have an app to listen in? I didn't find one.

espn+ and ACCN should give you live stream.
