Lol, that's so true. We rented a car the day we got to Nassau so we could provision for the trip. For those that don't know, in the Bahamas you drive on the left side of the road. That's not a huge deal accept they have roundabouts everywhere and are two lanes at that. That was confusing as all get out for me. Since you drive on the left the roundabouts are clockwise.

Against the Vols this season, Paul Skenes is a combined 24Ks, 2BB, and allowed 1 run iirc.

He's a bad man.

It was good to see us get some runs late but just couldn't get enough. We know what we have to do the rest of the way. Focus on beating Stanford then I think Wake and LSU are manageable in game 3 when we have Beam, Halvorson, and Burns available.
 
Happy Father's Day. In my opinion, the answer to a lot of our problems is for Dads to step up and teach young boys how to be the Men God created them to be and to protect and lift up young girls so they don't seek approval in the wrong places. Prayers for all you Father's out there. God Bless!!
Agree! Happy Father’s Day!!
 
Also, to the question of starting your best pitcher in game one, was Sceenes LSU's normal Friday starter?
Yep. Similar (but different) to what Weakley did with OU. Lindsey is our Friday pitcher, not our star pitcher. Instead of moving our pitching around we stuck with our original rotation. Not the end of the world to drop that game, especially to Skenes. Gives us our two best pitchers for Stanford and the loser of Wake/LSU. And I'll put Doe and Beam up against anyone left.
 
Woke up excited to watch us...we don't even play today?! What the crap?

And yet we play at 2 pm on a Monday?? Smdh so much for watching us in the WS. We either play late on a saturday, when people are busy going out, or mid workday. Terrible.

Routine is also huge for pitchers. Can't change it just to appease fans. Also if you lose it with Beam on the mound you don't have him later
 
And Beam will not get to go. You have to play your best players at this point.

Lindsey has been the best starting pitcher. Or do you not understand how stats work?

A deeper dive would tell you Dollander has thrown 14 2/3 more innings than Lindsey. Let’s take a look:

- Dollander has given up 8 more doubles than Lindsey
- Dollander has given up 5 more HRs
- BAA Dollander .239, BAA Lindsey .225
- Dollander has given up 9 more walks
- Dollander has given up 20 more Earned Runs

Dollander is a stud, but he wasn’t the same this season as he was last when he was SEC pitcher of the year.

In every category, Lindsey was the best bet.

So there was not and still is no focus on PEDs?

And now there will be (according to the headline), but they never mention anything about it in the article?
You lost me. What didn’t they mention? They talked about shifting to more PED testing in the article. No idea how much of it was focused on PEDs before this change though.

Either way, all I know, is Georgia and Bama are taking all of their deer antler spray and mass testing it to see if it’ll pass new strict testing regulations 😅

Happy Fathers Day to all the Vol Nation fathers and sons/daughters

It is known as Happy MF'ers Day in my household. To all the non-fathers that this term applies to.....keep on swinging and you'll knock one in the park eventually. Unless you are like @Weezer and the universe has decided that it's better if you don't multiply.
