The Official #1 Tennessee @ FSU CWS Game 3 Thread (Wed. June 19 3:45PM EST) (ESPN)

Sunny Day in Omaha.

Starting John Abraham is buying a lotto ticket.
If he does well, then he'll stay in if not, I suspect they'll have a few guys stacked up on the runway in the bullpen to face 2-4 batters.
If we put up a crooked number in the first, they may already have a guy warmed up.
I suspect Burke will be standing on deck thrilled to see a right handed starter. If CMo can find his way on by hook or by crook, we may see a crooked number pretty quick.

By all accounts, Abraham is a strike thrower. His SO/BB ratio is mediocre but I don't think this matters, FSU is only hoping he can get through the line up once.
He was not a huge recruit as it appears FSU was trying to develop him.
He has a 91-93 fast ball but is a finesse guy

There is a small group on here, people I’ve never even met, from all walks of life, that I consider good friends and I’ve had a blast watching Tennessee baseball with you guys!
Now, let’s go win a damn college World Series!!!
GO BIG ORANGE!!

Same!

 

[chuckiepoo]

I appreciate this. Thanks!

are we ready for the knuckle curve?

If the kid can't get this across for a strike, he will not last long.

It's been a while since we faced a junk baller. But a day game will help us

 

[chuckiepoo]

So. Is the 3:45 start time solid?

 

[TN Jed]

He’s just a regular man like the rest of us. He’s right, but the pedestal isn’t what makes him right.

Yes, he's not on a pedestal. However, a drive by shouldn't take a shot.

Vols wearing the orange jerseys today that makes me think of this famous fictional character that wears a orange mask that is Michaelangelo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

[TechnoVol]

No one is ever ready for the knuckle curve…

[LLcoolDave]

Please jump on them early so my nerves won't give me fits.

this is what I hope.

I don't want another day of pacing the floor, trying to control my nerves.

I want a big lead, flawless defense, no free bases

C'mon Vols, give me a boring game

 

[WillisWG]

What is C Mo's career HR count up to now?

NM asked and answered

 

[firestorm]

So. Is the 3:45 start time solid?

It’s looking likely it will be on the mark.
2:45 PM Central time if watching today in this time zone.

 

[Zues1]

[chuckiepoo]

Yes, he's not on a pedestal. However, a drive by shouldn't take a shot.

Nope. CLo is no driveby. I don’t always agree, but he’s solid baseball forum.
