ORUJason Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I am wondering why the mid-con prefers the double-header on Saturday and Sunday format. I understand that they want kids to travel on Sunday night so they can be back in class on Monday, but it leaves no lee-way to play make-up games for a rain-out, and causes teams to have to play some 7-inning games. Why not play a Friday PM game, a Saturday double-header with 2 nine inning games, and a Sunday game with a noon start. This would give teams the flexibility to play a 2nd game on Sunday if 1 of the previous games was rained out. Teams could travel on Friday AM, and only have 2 overnight stays (Friday and Saturday), so I assume it would not increase travel costs. I assume that teams still travel on Friday and arrive on Friday night in preparation for a Saturday game (maybe not for the Western Ill-Valpo trip?)... And while we're at it, why do they play 7 inning games sometimes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
