Bob, that's for conference series, I presume. I believe the first two weekend OOC series are 4 full nine-inning games. FTR, I hate, hate, hate 7-inning doubleheaders.

Thanks Walt -- do you know who the Georgetown HS player is (via Penn)?
I'm optimistic -- Owls back in a regional in late May, and the country all immunized....one of the first "normal" experiences perhaps of the post-pandemic?

That would be RHP Holcomb, who I suspect will be our Saturday or Sunday starter. Sad that this will be the first time since 2005 that I'll miss opening weekend, and spending much of the first month of the season (and last month of Chicago winter) in Houston. Unfortunately, I very much doubt I'll get vaccinated before late April/early May. Hopefully, I can catch a couple of the last regular season series.

One month until Opening Day!
