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

Tony hasn’t won a game One in the World Series. I’d bet he has used the same approach. And yes changing your approach as a coach does in fact change things - same for players.

No he switched it up before and it backfired. That's why he's leaving it all the same this time. No need to guess wrong when he's actually said these things

 

[PKT_VOL]

We have to give some credit to our defense for many of the runs they have scored tonight.

No doubt. Our fielder's didn't control what they can control and our pitchers didn't control what they can control.

Nobody is going to feel good after this one.

This FSU team is just lightning in a bottle at the moment... they are on a major roll

 

[VFL1127]

That was our opportunity to get momentum back

 

[Score50]

It’s just easier to not watch and see what’s happening by reading your post. Thanks men. What a friggin choke job.

 

[EZE]

Most of VN right now…I haven’t given up on the goal

 

[sportsnut624]

Feels like that was the chance to really get back into it. Not very confident we get it close now. Still a long way to go but just not having a good feeling about it

Ump needs to not show up Moore first. Don’t tell him to get back in the box.

For sure. Bat at the end of the day he has the power. Take your hit and get on base, no need to turn back and bark at him; especially when you’re getting your butt whipped.

seriously CMO is juggling the ball every time he makes a catch

Statistically insignificant. The outcome of prior game ones has no impact on game one today. He has a veteran heavy lineup that has not shown up today defensively. They’ve played like a group of freshmen on the big stage for the first time.

Smdh….those hits come after third outs should already be made….please watch thanks…

Ummm, only 2 hits have been with 2 outs. Look at the play-by-play in the box score if you can't remember. Thanks.

 

[rocketskates]

The ump hasn't helped but yeah don't be mad because the ump didn't make all these frigging errors.

I agree. And you couldn’t be more correct. 5 unearned runs, not gonna win much in Omaha with that garbage.

 

[ftsandersvol]

If I was a good high school pitcher I wouldn't even think about coming to Tennessee. You let two batters reach base in an inning and you get yanked. I've never seen a coach pull the string so quickly. Pitchers need to get in a rhythm and a feel for the game. Stamos got pulled after 8 pitches, even when the defense was the one to let him down. Baffling really. I first noticed this practice in the regionals. Note how FSU's pitcher is still in the game even though we've scored 4 runs.

It's extremely weak to blame the umpire for this garbage

 

[TheBigOne10]

We can come back but it will have to start in the 5th

They are - but we GAVE them a lot momentum by playing bad news bears defense along with terrible pitching.

It’s always a good thing to pull your starting pitcher after 8 friggin pitches. Shows you got confidence in your guys. NOT.

 

[volbound1700]

Good game FSU. Let's win the loser bracket.

You can be mad but don’t be stupid

 

[vavolfan6]

Can’t believe the Vols haven’t hit a cpl home runs since you know most of their home runs in post season would have been out in Omaha.

What gives? Dead ball?

lol.

To be fair, Arnold has only allowed 6 HRs all year and Omaha is a big stadium. So both those factors working against us.

 

[theroyz71]

I guess that was number 15.

Been the same with Stamos for at least the past 3 games. Do you not watch?

 

[931Vol]

When we start bickering with the ump is usually when I know we are cooked. 2021 CWS. 2022 Notre Dame. Like clockwork.

Yep, cause you'll get rung up next at bat.

Just tuned in...a little nervous about this one.
