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

Shame to have to use Combs so early.

Not sure why TV wasted Kirby. He could have ate some innings.

 

[Volstylexx]

So, how do we match up against Virginia?

We match up well with any team in the CWS field, but that means little when you have the amount of errors we have today. The pressure will be immense with every game being an elimination game moving forward.

Playing like a bunch of

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Whatever happens in Omaha whatever. But please hit the portal hard for pitching when it's all over. I'm not saying it's all over, maybe this game is but the tournament isn't. But please hit the portal hard for more arms this off-season.

 

[Vols919]

On to UVA I guess.

 

[JCP201]

Maybe grass field causing problems. ???

 

[tbh]

Does it hurt us playing on turf all year?

I wondered the same, with the Keystone Kops fielding expo being put on in the early innings. The announcers did mention it's a coarser/looser turf than the Bermuda used down south too, so that's sort of a double-whammy, I'd think.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Why do we suck in Omaha so bad? That is the question.

Power teams don’t usually play well in Omaha. Why our pitching is getting annihilated? No idea. But they haven’t really done that before today. Texas hung 8, but this is the most we’ve ever given up under tony here.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Still the 4th inning. I'm not giving up on it yet.

 

[Aerie Vol]

we will be deeeeeep into our pen by the time Virginia comes around

Off day tomorrow. No one on the whole squad will be unavailable come Sunday.

 

[LLcoolDave]

hope we can land some stud pitchers from the portal

 

[TheMookieMonster]

10 outs we have gotten. But we’ve given up 9 runs. Picked a hell of a game to have our worst performance.

 

[VOLinAL]

So, 2pm Sunday? Hope you guys don’t have plans

Can always fall back on the US Open if we do this again.

 

[TNHopeful505]

The errors have just been inexcusable tonight. We have shot ourselves in the foot.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I can not believe we can look as bad as we are looking tonight. In fact, I have not seen them look this bad in a few years. They have to get their act together in a hurry.

 

[Weezer]

I honestly thought we would do better.

 

[Switch 625]

Why do we suck in Omaha so bad? That is the question.

Because Tennessee. That’s why.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

These freaking Noles may win it all. Just nuclear hot right now.

Did we really expect any different? Don’t the Vols always draw the “hot team” in every sport.
Aerie, my heart is breaking right now.

 

[VolFanGBO]

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I don't. We celebrate Father's day eve at my house

Smart. Sunday might be depressing. I might ask for that, too

 

[Orange931]

We’re still gonna win this game

 

[NOLAPhil]

Combs is right. You could put a pitching machine out there and the ump would be different every pitch

 

[Tenacjim]

......whoa boy...........going over to AMC to check out the Back to the Future marathon

A DeLorean Time Machine would be handy right about now…..

 

[VolFanGBO]

We’re still gonna win this game

…

 

[patrick]

Literally no one has it tonight. Complete ass kicking by FSU. I’m not going to say that we were unprepared because I’m just happy we have a coach that got us here, but 3 straight times we have no showed in Game 1 of Omaha.

Exactly. That is certainly an issue.

Whatever Tony V has been doing in preparation for game 1 in the World Series - HE NEEDS TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE WHAT HE IS DOING ISNT WORKING AT ALL.

DEFENSE NOT READY TO PLAY.
