.56 era? Man. We started a freshman with a .86 era last friday but he got welcomed to the SEC haha :P

[Cocklover]

Evan Beal has been welcomed in the SEC and a lot this year...he'll be fine

On to the rain subject: there is a batch heading this way slowly but surely from the West. 30% chance of rain tonight forecast by NOAA (mainly after midnight).

For Saturday night into Sunday, a system is going to pop on a stalled out frontal boundary to our South.. with another piece of energy transferring into a low pressure off the Carolina coasts. Depending on when and where this happens will decide if we can get the other two games in. Sometimes these systems aren't modeled correctly by computers and end up scooting out faster than expected. I should also note that we will be under the influence of cold air damming (wedge) that will limit instability (storms).. but the gulf moisture is wide open, so there will definitely be rain.

yeah, all of it's gonna change each day BUT from what I saw this morning, there is a time in there tomorrow where there will be no rain and it's somewhere around first pitch...Sunday is going to be the iffy day

WOOOHOOOO! They just posted this on twitter!


Gamecock Baseball ‏@GamecockBasebll 2m
For those in Columbia, tonight's game on @csssports will be televised on Time Warner Cable channel 506

[eaglegolf018]

Alright now DirecTV get on board and I'll be set

[Cocklover]

I'll just say that sometimes they put out there that Time Warner will carry a game, if it's basketball or baseball and they never show it or they are late getting it on. I'm not sure how tonight is going to go.

[eaglegolf018]

Great. Just great. 2 MORE guys are out tonight because of illness. One is an outfielder. Other is an infielder. Don't know who because TBS has it on lockdown in the VIP

[Cocklover]

yeah was just about to post that...saw one of the media guys post it on twitter

[JT21]

Schrock and Costen.

[talon]

do we shift verg to 2nd, LB to 3rd and put in Martin?

Exactly. Outfield will be Bright, English, and Carson

[talon]

or sullivan if he wants more experience

[ktguen]

In situations like these, I like to direct everyone's attention to a certain weight room mural

[talon]

exactly. this is why depth matters

[rosstheboss]

Hey it could be a lot worse. At least our pitchers aren't sick.

[ktguen]

So including Montgomery that's 5 regular starters out. (Monty, English, Saiko, Costen and Schrock) YAWN. Win anyway.

So is it only available to Time Warner viewers in Columbia or is it state wide?

I'm not positive the channels it would be on elsewhere...it would be on Time Warner Cable though...check with your local TWC outlets

[eaglegolf018]

Nothing has changed. Beal needs to be the same guy he's been the last 3 weeks. Throw strikes and get ahead of people. If he's not, Schrock and Saiko won't make a difference.

[gamecockfan2001]

Ok thanks.
