Time to get those rbis

 

[KTrain]

And neither of those games would be Paul Skenes. If LSU wins this and we beat Wake to get through we would have to solve Skenes which barely anyone has done so far.

I thought Skenes had 2 losses

Wake has a good opportunity here

You don’t go 52-10 by accident. They’re very, very good. Floyd is just pitching the game of his life right now. They have some big bats in their lineup.

The ACC was pretty pathetic this year. 3 top 16 seeds and 2 don’t even make it out of regionals. Floyd is pitching great but I don’t think they’re used to seeing his power either and his power is middle of the road in the SEC. Clemson fans were impressed with Ammons as their heat guy; he was 90-93. They were blown away after that game that we had 3 guys who could hit 95+, they were dumbfounded when we told them we had 6-7. There’s been 3 guys throw over 100 so far in Omaha, all 3 are SEC guys. I think it’s truly just a different animal than what these guys are used to. They were also essentially shut down by a Stanford rotation on Saturday, with an average ERA of 5+ between those who threw.

Looking like we'll see Wake tomorrow. Means if we make it to LSU, we'll probably see Skenes again. Don't like that.

We faced Stanford’s ace today and knocked him off the bump in the 5th. I still think TN can adjust and have success against Skenes and get to their pen earlier next game.

Edit - LSU’s hitting concerns me as their entire lineup can hit.

Wake needs to make something with 2 on and no outs.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This feels like “the moment” for Wake. They have to make something happen.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I’m tired of hearing about everyone that isn’t a Vol, tbh. The rest of the SEC can kick rocks.

Hear Hear....Paul can deflate himself and fly his loser teammates back to Baton Rouge tomorrow night

 

[AthensVol2007]

Barry Bonds used to talk about his body like this......exact same speech.

So he’s still figuring out how the roids affect him?

 

[GhostVol]

LSU P seems to be flailing

 

[WillisWG]

Darn interesting

 

[Orange931]

Wake has em loaded!!! Let’s go!!’

Yup, I said it earlier. Floyd is average in SEC standards, but to Wake hes another level.

I don't know where they found these umpire crews for the NCAA tournament, but my goodness they are terrible.

There hasn't been one game where I haven't scratched my head on the calls of balls and strikes.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I thought Skenes had 2 losses

I thought he had four?

LSU didn't even make it to the final four in Hoover.

Florida won the regular season.

Arkansas won the SEC West.

These guys ain't all that and a bag of chips.

 

[barney]

wake forest seems to love to play from behind as well

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Great, now we get to listen to Paul Skenes for an entire half inning. They are milking this for everything it’s worth.

I want to send them home so bad. It’s nauseating. I’m guessing this is how other fans felt about us last year.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

“I’ve been growing into my body” - Paul Skenes for the 17th time.

We get it, Paul. You’re growing into your body.

He has 0 personality.

 

[GhostVol]

6-2 with a plus 6 ERA?

Oof.... Heater doesn't move, junk does

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Wake is about to blow it open

The sport of college baseball, and especially the postseason tournaments, deserve to have consistent and accurate officiating. This has been disgraceful.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Get more Wake,

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

There goes 1

 

[VolGirl81]

Idk, I’m thinking we want LSU, kinda the devil you know thought.

 

[TN_gal]

Here comes Wake! And they chased Floyd.
