LSU plays roughly 56 regular-season games from February to May. That’s a lot of baseball, folks. It’s like they’re trying to break the world record for “most opportunities to tragically lose a lead in the 9th inning.” But here’s the kicker: they also squeeze in midweek games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which are like surprise pop quizzes nobody asked for. You might think it’s a Tuesday night, but nope—the Tigers are out there, probably playing against a school with a name like “Southwest Louisiana Tech Prep” that somehow has a 100-mph pitcher.
If you’re wondering, “Is there a game today?” during the summer, the answer is usually no, unless they’re in the College World Series. Then it’s a yes, and you’ll know because your neighbor’s car will be covered in purple and gold glitter. Seriously, glitter. It gets everywhere.
The Weekday vs. Weekend Trap
Weekends are easy: LSU always has a series from Friday through Sunday in the spring. That’s like baseball’s version of a three-day weekend, but instead of relaxing, you’re sweating under a Louisiana sun that’s personally offended you. But Monday? Monday is a dark day for baseball. They never play on Mondays. It’s a sacred day for laundry and crying over the previous weekend’s errors. So if someone asks you on a Monday, just say, “No, and don’t you dare bring it up.”
Now, here’s a surprising fact: LSU Baseball once had a game that lasted 5 hours and 28 minutes against Texas A&M in 2019. That’s longer than the movie Titanic, and with about as much emotional damage if they lose. If you’re asking “do they play today?” during a marathon game like that, the answer is technically yes—but you might want to pack a sandwich, a tent, and a therapist.
