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

[Weezer]

Well, I know this player really well and like I said, he didn't say a single bad thing about anyone on TN's staff. Can't we all just agree that pitching is our weakness?

Defense was a bigger weakness in last night's game than pitching.

 

[KptVFL]

He didn't say a bad thing about any of the coaches on TN staff, so quit trying to start trouble, just basically said the workouts were totally different and some other things,

I get you sticking up for a friend but YOU said he was the most overrated coach in ️. That feels personal and not rooted in anything factual.

Looked up everyone who transferred out in the last 2 years and there was 1 that was a contributer and we all know who he is.

Had the list ready to post but will just leave it alone.

When you come here and make statements like you did don't be surprised when you get pushback!

Okay, I respect your comment but, we have 2 pitchers ranked in the top 200 and one is 197. I do think we've had some good games that pitching did good, but we're here because of our bats.

That’s fair. It’s a team sport. It’s also a sport where stats tell a story. Lots of folks might not know Nate Snead is 10-2.

Both were bad. ☺

 

[Freak]

So, who would you consider our "ACE" on this team?

ok. Skip over my question.

I don’t know who the Ace is. That’s the beauty of what this team has accomplished. We’ve had to use a lot of guys. Causey, Beam... Sechrist looked like the Ace in his last appearance. Lots of guys giving us innings in middle relief and lots of guys helping us close games out.

FSU’s ace is Arnold. They have nothing else behind him. How’d that work out? I can’t find them in the top 50 ERA list for the season. They also gave up more runs than we did last night.

Okay, I apologize for saying he's the most overrated coach in baseball. I just don't get all hype on him. ☺

You must be a Dodgers fan. I see you keep dodging questions.

Sorry, what was the question I skipped over?

What question did I dodge?

Yep.

I didn’t realize that. Also, Loy was clutch in Hoover.

 

[Weezer]

What question did I dodge?

Try this one.

Relative or close friend of a pitcher who was passed over here? I get that must be tough. I can understand your personal dislike of the guy In that case. I do.

Let’s go at this another way. Give me your top five pitching coaches who are better than FA and let’s look at the numbers. it should be easy to see whether or not it’s as big of a weakness as some think. Maybe it is. Let’s break it down and find out.

 

[volfever007]

Try this one.

Oh, nobody I know was passed over by TN.

 

[volfever007]

Try this one.

And I haven't researched to find 5 coaches who are better.

 

[KptVFL]

Okay, I apologize for saying he's the most overrated coach in baseball. I just don't get all hype on him. ☺

I don't know about hype. I do know he has a very good reputation and was hand picked by CTV.

Not quite sure what's funny about it.

 

[Freak]

Giving up 11 runs off of 13 hits and 9 walks, that's pretty bad and I get the errors hurt also.

It’s bad. Better than FSU who threw their ace, though.

Saying we were bad last night and saying the pitching coach is the most overrated coach in baseball and should retire are two separate arguments.

 

[volfever007]

That's a smiley face, not a laughing emoji. I was just trying to be friendly here.

So you admit you have no clue what you're talking about. Great way to end the discussion.

 

[vol66]

Oh, nobody I know was passed over by TN.

I mean no disrespect at all. What’s your point? How do we get here, without good pitching? Everybody in Omaha, all of em have hitters, all of em have fielders, all of em have pitching…

Spill it, what don’t you like?

 

[Freak]

And I haven't researched to find 5 coaches who are better.

Then your statement is based on feelings and nothing factual. How can you judge success if it’s not by comparison to your peers?

Okay, I apologized for saying the most overrated coach and I agree.

 

[Weezer]

Aggies take the lead. 1-0

his staffs put up great numbers Year in and year out. Teams win a lot of games. Puts guys in the pros. Well respected among his peers. Constant praise from his head coach. Your turn.

I honestly feel like if it weren't for our bats, we'd be talking about the upcoming football season right now.

And yet, you are here taking a giant poop.
