The Official Tennessee vs LSU College World Series Game 1 Thread (Sat. June 17 7PM EST) ESPN

Just pathetic. So tired of this BS. College umpires are so bad at their jobs it’s hilarious.

If by “it’s pretty darn close” he means it’s two balls off the plate then yes…it’s pretty darn close.

 

[volsagain]

you read it here first… Vols beat Stanford Monday, Wake beats LSU, then Vols end LSUs season. What a day it will be.

Yeah I'm All In !!?

 

[volz2wallz]

Calling it now...we win this bracket...we double dip lsu...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Why aren’t we blaming our hitters for not making any adjustments, fouling it off even though they know it’s not a strike but WILL be called a strike, and fighting for another pitch?

Because you just dont adjust your zone like that, this isnt little league.

Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or maybe Friday

Stanford held a high powered Wake offense to 3 runs so there are no easy games in Omaha , we’ll have to regroup and get after it Monday , proud of this team and pulling like crazy for a couple of wins , we need to get Dickey , Moore and Burke going

That’s wild. Doesn’t Stanford have the worst team ERA of the 8?

 

[LordVOLdemort]

So, as it stands, we have to best Stanford, then beat the loser of Wake/LSU, then beat the winner Wake/LSU twice.

That’s a friggin job. I wish we were in Florida’s bracket… lol

 

[vol66]

Because they aren’t swinging at pitches two balls of the plate. You think it’s easy just fouling off pitches against Skenes..?

 

[NorCalVol67]

We’re Awright!!!!

Hell yeah 66.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Yeah, we'll go with that last part.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Crushed??? It was 6-3. The love fest for Paul Skenes is reaching such obnoxious levels.

 

[robcovol]

Now we’ll see how good LSU really is.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Yeah, we'll go with that last part.

thank you

 

[ENGRVOL]

Tough loss but we will see lsu again in a few days and we will end their season

 

[BowlBrother85]

Not a big deal, but I just noticed something weird ... the SEC Network has adjusted Tennessee's SEC record to 16-15 ... they counted tonight's CWS game as a conference loss - which doesn't make any sense.

Back to the main point .... that strike 3 call on Moore was ridiculous. It wasn't close as the dumb a$$ color commentator said.

 

[TNHopeful505]

So, we have to beat Stanford once, then (presumably) LSU once, then presumably Wake Forest twice to advance to the finals, where it is best of 3, correct? We have to win the next 4 in a row? I'm not up to speed on how it all works.

That ball was a backdoor breaking ball, that never got back to the plate. The hitter sees that as a ball coming out of the hand, you cant give him that pitch.

Exactly

No.. a crushing is what we did to them in Tiger Stadium.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I mean they’re pretty good if they’ve made it this far… well it could also be the fact they pay the umps to only call strikes

 

[Zues1]

At this point I would just like to win a couple of games.
