I mean if you’re going to blow Russell, feels like he should just come in to start the inning. Could be 5-3 instead of 6-3 right now.

TBH, I wanted him to go Burns with the day off.

THERES THE CHRISTIAN MOORE PITCH AND SHOCKINGLY ITS A BALL NOW

Actually that was better it was belt line were Moore was low.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Last chance

 

[bonnieandclyde]

LSU gets that strike call.

I also think LSU catcher catches and presents ball better than Stark

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Obvious you have no experience with 8 inches

I thought 4 was pretty good??

 

[Volprofch05]

Ok, let’s get + here

Only using him for 1 batter won’t burn him. Rather him get a little mileage on this stage and get ready for Monday

Skenes was amazing and deserves kudos, but man he got every single call if it was remotely close.

I don’t watch a ton of college ball and mostly just the majors so I don’t have a ton of comparison games but this strike zone has been horrible and all over the place.

I hear you. Bit different in the SEC when we’re one of only three schools (us, Mizzou, TX A&M) that doesn’t have at least one natty in one of the 3 major sports in the last 15 years. Compound that with the fact that we’ve been pretty awful across all 3 except for the last 5 years.

True, but let's not change the question mid stream please. There are hundreds of colleges. A fairly small number of sports and a very, very small number of national championships relative the the total number of people competing for a championship.

Shaming UGA and Alabama definitely isn't the way to go. The only reason the SEC is who it is, is because of the presence of UGA and Alabama.

Look at what UGA did to the Horned Frogs in the Football championship. They were completely dominated and if Kirby wanted to tack on another 14 in that game, he could have. He chose not to. THAT'S your conference and that's a good thing. TCU probably thought they had a chance a week before that game and realize by the end of the first quarter that they were in for a long night at the mercy of the other team and coach.

You ... personally should be glad that you go up against the best because it's the only way UT can be the best.

I've seen some terrible umpires today, this game and the Braves.

 

[Volprofch05]

Just going to have to swing at everything I guess

 

[GhostVol]

FFS..... Start making contactd

 

[Volbrando]

[Proud Army Wife]

Grand slam happening

Yo if we walk this off

 

[Caz]

Worst guy I’ve ever seen calling balls and strikes

 

[KeyVol14]

Seriously that is a ball!!!!!!

 

[Aerie Vol]

Simply can't play the game when blue gives 3 inches off the plate.

 

[Volbrando]

This dude is on the Skenes roid plan too it seems

 

[Orange931]

Damn

 

[barney]

Ok 2 outs time to start cooking

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Good try, Vols. We better wake up before the next game

 

[UTK]

But anways you can just see the grandslam homer to give us the lead happening right

 

[vol94]

So how good is Stanford’s pitcher in Monday’s game?

Not a good choice of words there don't you think
