CWS Game Thread - Other Games

Maybe LSU players threw in the towel to negotiate a bigger NIL payment for tomorrow’s game

…smh..

LSU fans are whining on Tigerdroppings about how the championship series should be played next weekend to “make sure both of the final two teams are at their best”…

They put that NIL money to good use. They set a CWS record.

That was absolute destruction. LSU has got to fight hard to not let one loss turn into 2 or tomorrow could get out of hand in a hurry early. Florida has all the momentum.

There’s a lot of history of teams winning a blowout and coming back to lose subsequent games, see Arkansas vs NC state and Yankees vs Red Sox

Nothing stinks like the smell of burnt corn dogs.

The way it is now, is fair and requires a strategic coaching decision regarding the pitching. I can see the merit in the “both teams at full strength” argument, however think about the stress on both fan bases, not many people can take two weeks off.

No, that's how this stuff works-- if your team got some rest, it's because you haven't lost as many games. Also, it should be about all your pitchers/players, not just one unhittable ace.

Wasn’t set up that way. Deal with it.

I’m sure they would prefer to space each game a week apart so Skenes could pitch them all…..

Already making excuses for a perceived loss tomorrow.

 

[Orange931]

Never thought I’d say this, but go Gators tomorrow.

 

[sechamp2012]

LSU is still ahead in JellO shots and that’s all that matters in Cajun country

If they had ran undefeated like UF, their pitching would be on schedule and they’d have no qualms. They didn’t take care of business accordingly therefore the format needs to be adjusted to accommodate their shortcomings.

There’s more than plenty of history going the other way as well. Can LSU get off the mat and play well enough in their 8th game in 9 days to bounce back? We’ll find out soon enough.

If they hadn’t lost a game, they’d be at their best.

 

[robcovol]

Since one team has to win, I’d like to see a 20 plus inning game tomorrow. At the end, position players are pitching for both teams and the winning team is too tired for any celebration.

And if both teams were fresh, we’d be right where we are now. Skenes would have pitched yesterday With no shot to pitch on one day rest.

 

[Mccage]

White should have worn one more gold necklace.

Yep.

 

[Zues1]

Yeah that's not how tournaments work.
Winners bracket
Losers bracket.
End of story

I thought LSU is a college baseball blue blood, so how come it sounds like their fans don’t know that’s how it always works

They are, they do know, probably more than any other fan base, but you can imagine there might be some comments on a message board after losing by 21 runs. If I offered a guess, that was cherry picked and not indicative of all their fans.

 

[Weezer]

It makes me feel all icky to say this, but I hope the gators find a way to just tee off on Skenes tomorrow.

Pardon me while I throw up now.

Openly hoping for a gators win has me like...

Lol, I understand. One of the cool things about college baseball, are the games where you ain’t got a dog in the fight. I get that many Vols baseball fans only watch the Vols, but I love college baseball, I don’t care who’s playing, if I have the time, I’ll watch two teams in Alaska go at it.
