GO COCKS!!!

Also, Citadel's radio station is 1450 am. They do stream online (just an fyi). It will be Citadel's broadcasters, but they do a good job.

USCBatgirl21 · 03-18-2014, 10:00 AM

@GamecockBasebll:

Tuesday's game at The Citadel has been postponed and rescheduled for Wednesday, April 16 @ 7 pm.

Cocklover · 03-18-2014, 10:02 AM

Yep, just coming to post this...

Luke Skycocker · 03-18-2014, 10:07 AM

Why? It's not going to rain at all today according to the forecast. Is the field's drainage in that bad of a shape?

USCBatgirl21 · 03-18-2014, 10:07 AM

I'll be honest...I wasn't going out there in the cold, damp weather anyway. Daddy cancelled his trip to come down too. This works out better.

It's been raining for 3 days down here, and the field is next to the river, so drainage is very much an issue. It's not high on a bluff like ours.

No need to risk injury to players on such a wet field.

Plus the cold, damp weather will really hurt the gate for The Citadel. They pay a lot of bills with this game each year. Helps them out to move it.

Luke Skycocker · 03-18-2014, 10:13 AM

Kinda disappointing that the field can't hold just over an inch of rain over the span of 3 days, but whatever

You also have to take into account the tide levels too. An inch of rain makes a big difference when it's high tide. At high tide the marsh just behind the field is filled with water, not to mention the roads leading to/from the field, as well as the parking areas. Again, you have to think of it in Charleston terms, not Columbia terms.

5lbYardcock · 03-18-2014, 10:17 AM

Yea, I live not far from the field and my yard is soaked and like a sponge.

I work on St Andrews in Avondale. Don't get me started about how terrible our back parking lot is (just a street between us and the Ashley).

rosstheboss · 03-18-2014, 10:27 AM

That's ok. I'd rather Beal get some bullpen work in another game or two before he has to start a game against Citadel who always gives us fits

SAETerrier · 03-18-2014, 10:39 AM

I live 3 blocks from the Joe & it would've been a bad night to play...cold & drizzling for the past 3 days. Time to focus on beating UK.

ktguen · 03-18-2014, 10:40 AM

Boo. Now I have no excuse for not running my errands later.

USCBatgirl21 · 03-18-2014, 10:49 AM

Makes Spring Break down here more fun. We'll get back in town just in time to head downtown and make a day of it that Wednesday. Little Man loves going to The Joe, and tailgating in Brittlebank. :)

JerseyBird · 03-18-2014, 11:18 AM

Heh we know about drainage issues up here too :-p Sounds like the best plan

CockyFanForLife · 03-18-2014, 11:26 AM

Another problem with the field at The Joe is that it was built on fill. It has to be repaired every few years. Not sure that makes the rain/wet field issue any worse. It's just a fact of life for that field.

Have you ever tried to play baseball on a wet, soggy field? It's not very easy and can cause some nasty problems for the outfielders as well as the hitters.

2000grad · 03-18-2014, 11:28 AM

The soccer clubs in charleston are notorious for closing their fields when someone spits on them. Water table is higher, etc.
