Hopefully we can win the next one. Successful season no matter what happens . . .

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

So we get our best pitchers back next game tho right?

 

[NOLAPhil]

We will see them in the losers bracket.

 

[volfan102455]

If a team is really a number 1 team, they should need no help from the umpires with how balls and strikes are called.

 

[volsagain]

Why?

Maybe because the ump really sucked . He doesn't need help just let the chips fall where they may . He's damn good why do they help this kind of pitchers.

 

[volz2wallz]

Eh

Eh...oh ya

 

[JCP201]

I guess we get a tough pitcher with Stanford, but it won't be Skenes.

 

[lilesrt]

Disappointing outing by the team tonight.

 

[BallinVol]

So we get our best pitchers back next game tho right?

I forsee Dolander taking the start next game

 

[NorCalVol67]

I hope people realize Skenes is a generational talent.

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.

It’s a tough conference. Also says a lot when everybody but you and two others overcame all that plus the other schools to get a natty trophy too. I’m thrilled we’re starting to be the athletics program we should be but I’m also not going to forget the 2010-2020 period and that UT had the worst decade of any SEC program relative to where they should be.

 

[RAVOL]

Tough until late but ran out of innings. Love Fight. Let's get Cardinals Monday. In CHRIST Alone

 

[RockyTop140]

That was seriously one of the worst strike zones I’ve ever seen. Especially against skenes and we have to adjust to a bigger strike zone. About impossible to hit a letter high 102 mph fastball

 

[TheBigOne10]

Just regroup and get it done Monday, boys. Anybody know if we will be home or road? I imagine road again given being the lower seed

 

[VFL1127]

I just hope Dollander pitches the game of his life against Stanford

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Hey, Skenes, how are you soo good?
“Well, it helps when the zone is the size of a Buick.”

 

[Volstylexx]

I didn’t articulate my question correctly? Is he a leftie? Junk pitcher? Type of pitcher we can hit or one who has given us trouble this yr?

left hander, just threw 156 pitches in their super regional win over Texas.

College World Series: Is Stanford Pitcher Rested And Ready, Or Is He Done, After Throwing 156 Pitches On Sunday?

 

[Christian Lowe]

I guess we get a tough pitcher with Stanford, but it won't be Skenes.

It’s the same guy who threw vs Texas last week for a complete game everyone talked about.

 

[volz2wallz]

Noobs.

And suprising regulars acting noobish

 

[TN_gal]

Well, we weren’t shut out. That’s a positive. The guys kept battling until the end.

Regroup and play again Monday.

 

[Orange931]

I hope people realize Skenes is a generational talent.

How can they not? Everybody got to hear his biography during the game.

 

[hUTch2002]

How can you tell what crosses the plate and what doesn’t from your TV if they both end up in the same spot?

Obviously you can’t tell for sure if it does but if a righty throws and it ends up just off the left side, like 2-3”, it looks like the ball crosses the plate whether it did or not. If a left throws and it’s starts way outside and ends up 2-3 inches off the plate it looks different. That’s what I’m talking about. I can’t tell if it actually crossed of course. But a right to left crosses the plate path.

 

[imw8n4u]

Good news is one more double rum and coke and this won't hurt so bad.

Despite the result, always good to spend a game following along on VN. Go Vols!

 

[beachvol23]

Skenes clearly the difference for LSU. The game went how many thought it would. Now go win Monday and stay alive just like last weekend! GBO

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I forsee Dolander taking the stary next game

Okay that’s good, did they say Monday? And what time??
