The Official FSU @ #1 Tennessee CWS Game 1 Thread (Fri. June 14) (7PM EST) (ESPN)

[UTSuave’]

I know I’m just a couch coach and my opinions isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, but you have an open base with two outs and their hottest hitter tonight at the plate. I truly don’t get why we gave him anything good to hit and didn’t just put him on to make a force out at any base.

That’s what I was wondering…why did you not walk him?

 

[VolsLFC]

Can’t give any team in post-season play extra outs. But for those extra outs this game is at worst a tie game.

You are literally a wet blanket

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Pitching wasn't great, but it really was the early defensive brain farts that do us in...if we lose.

Pitching has been beyond bad

 

[vol94]

This is so deflating. I knew State was a bad matchup but didn’t think we would gift them three runs, maybe more.


You can’t make an error allowing two runs to score.

 

[BP4Prez]

Everyone

Lol is there a new rule? Kirby through 20 something pitches. Stamos about 15. Benke about 10

 

[Sam I Am]

Has any team won it all in the loser bracket?

12 have. Oregon St. was the last in 2018. So, its possible. But not with our staff.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Is it really hard to believe though?

Nah just felt a bit more optimistic. But we will see hopefully not another 0-2.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

KT swing away ... Out

 

[TheBigOne10]

Awful

 

[sportsnut624]

Just hard to believe we have yet another choke job in Omaha

Honestly I would’ve been more surprised if we hadn’t **** the bed today. This is just a typical vol post season performance

 

[TheMookieMonster]

The field is wide open when you have our offense. We’re probably one of two teams in the CWS that could win from the losers bracket. You can’t turn a game one loss into an 0-2 exit.

4 teams all-time have made it out of the loser’s bracket to win it all. Probability suggests you aren’t making it out of the loser’s bracket no matter how good you are. So you sell out for Game 1 if you have to.

Besides, like I said, Snead can still pitch Sunday. Stamos can, too. He threw 8 pitches. Kirby can pitch Sunday, too. We have a day off. The pitching isn’t as dire for Sunday as people are making it out to be.

 

[jdogvol]

Running out of outs!

 

[volplaya8]

Yeah, there is no way TV was expecting this team to give up 11 runs in 7 innings with 5 unearned runs on 3-4 errors. I don’t fault him for doing what he did.

Just tough in hindsight…real tough

 

[LLcoolDave]

here comes concrete shoes

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Think those two runs deflated us. Some bad at bats there.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Maybe we’ll win 1 and stick around a couple days

 

[87&91ALUM]

We are falling like dominoes with their new pitcher.

 

[vols1071]

We can grind it out! No give in this team... Let's go!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

FSU backup guy flaming away at Vols, back to back Ks

 

[Drewbydoo]

Trying to relax at Hooters after a fast work day hoping Tennessee comes back instead of just keeps competing by keeping it close after Florida State found the holes.

7th and 8th is when I expect to see our offense shine.

 

[Volstylexx]

He can pitch again Sunday. I don’t know why people don’t understand this. Unless he throws like 60 pitches the next two innings he can pitch again Sunday.

Sure he can pitch again Sunday but it’s on a tired arm. That’s not the same scenario as him being fresh and going 4-5 innings behind Beam.

 

[Vtonerider]

Lol is there a new rule? Kirby through 20 something pitches. Stamos about 15. Benke about 10

Yes, out relievers are on a 20 pitch count!

 

[volplaya8]

There is a positive to losing….you now know what you exactly have to do and what days you will play….Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday….one in a row….

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Honestly I would’ve been more surprised if we hadn’t **** the bed today. This is just a typical vol post season performance

Good point.

 

[volinbama256]

so that "they are starting their Ace pitcher and we are choosing not to start our Ace pitcher/s, but Staff knows best" thing isn't really working out for us right now... Sure hope something changes or this will be the first question thrown at CTV during his presser.
