Baseball is played outside for a reason. The weather is just part of the game. It may not be the best situation, but the games were all played yesterday. If it rains, deal with it. It is tourney time... no excuses.

Completely agree, but just wanted to hear from someone in attendance what might be causing the large amount of walks from a lot of highly touted #1s

Increased walks can also be due to disciplined hitters who, unlike weaker teams, do not chase balls just off the plate.

Alot walks in day 1 in Oregon. Cold, Rain, Strong Winds, discipline hitters, tight strike zones by umpires along with rain delays and restarts with pitchers sitting then getting cold and going back out there after rain delays.

I can tell you for sure none of the players or coaches are making any excuses for the miserable weather and they are dealing with it and playing some excellent baseball despite it...

BUT for those sitting in the stands is a different story. I love being here and never went for cover despite the rains but is still cold, wet, windy and miserable weather....and yes it baseball..and would not trade it for a minute, lighting, hail,
snow flurries, 100 degree weather has not chased me away once  yet.

With that being said..All dome baseball stadiums in MLB should be opened up for OUTDOOR baseball.

I saw this on the board today. It's never to cold for baseball 

Any day that ends in Y is a good day for baseball...

I'm just glad they don't move the MLB world series to AZ when the Red Sox, Philly, or Yankees are playing.  Lord knows they seem to play just fine baseball in what can sometimes be cold and wet conditions.

...and that would be why the only Major League team in the Great Northwest builds domes for their team?

Just bored until I can listen to a game

Bottom of 5 and Trinity is up 3-2 on MC. 

MC has runners on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out.  Trinity and MC are video streaming the game:

Weather factor, please.

Weather factor, please.

Mix of clouds and blue sky.  Report for today are occasional showers and breaks.  I think they will be able to get all the games in today without much of a problem.  Looks like TU and MC have had a nice day at the park so far.  Play-by-Play guy called it a "lovely day for baseball so far"

Weather factor, please.

There was a friggin hail delay...at least that's what I caught on the Trinity broadcast. Might have been talking about another site though. Looks beautiful now from the computer screen.

There was at the very start of the game but they have caught a good run of weather since then....hope it carries the rest of the day.

Great game so far!  4-4 going into the 9th!

If you're Miss that's the guy you want up with the game on the line, but after a great ASC tournament seems like he's had trouble getting it going so far in the regional.

Cowart has retired 14 straight TU batters.  Bentz (12.79, 1-0, 6.1 IP) replacing Robertson at P for TU after a leadoff single in the bottom of the 10th.
