LMAO poor John Wilkerson sounded like he didn’t have much left in the tank at the end of last nights call.

Get some rest bud, you represented us well!

Unlike our last trip to the CWS, we have depth in our pitching staff and bullpen.

I think our road experience may help us in that we've played in progressively larger ball parks these past 2 weekends. While there will be an adjustment, it won't be as drastic as going from LNS to Charles Schwab Field.

As for Skenes and LSU, sure they are a tough matchup, but we've seen them before so there is familiarity. It's baseball and anything can happen.

The Omaha 8 field is stacked this year, so any opponent will be challenging.

Excited to see how far our team can go.

I’m thinking you roll Beam out to battle Skenes in game 1!
He looks like he is in a groove right now.

So many great arms for Tennessee, & LSU's bullpen is suspect. Keep those hitting shoes on, Vols! This guy concurs....

 

[TheBigOne10]

Just gotta battle our asses off against Skenes and get his count up early. Keep the game within striking distance and absolutely demolish their bullpen. I believe in us!!!!!!!

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Anything can happen. It's the wild west out there

 

[drvenner]

So dang happy to see this thread. It really is great to be a Tennessee Vol.

 

[JCP201]

So good to see us winning away from home. Pitching has been incredible and I like the new batting order. That said, we are definitely on the harder side of the bracket. This is going to be a chess match.

havent taken my meds

so we did it, and it wasnt a dream. Ive been forced to exist on a bottle of cough syrup, antibiotics and a shot in the beehind

 

[drvenner]

What if LSU decides to hold their ace for WF? Throw a lefty at us. Do they have a good one?

I hope they are that stupid.

I'd probably put our 3rd of 4th best starter up against skenes and then use our best pitchers against their 2nd and 3rd best and wear out their bull pen along the way. ie what's the use of having such good pitching if we don't leverage it to the max and have untapped talent that isn't even used in Omaha?

I respectfully disagree. You throw your best and do everything you can to win this game. Losing the first game causes you to play extra games just to advance and then you are also at single elimination. You have to treat each game as if it were your last and you do everything you can to win it.

Who is our best, though? Lindsey wasn't good in the rain game, but he usually is a win. Then we have Drew and Dolly who were both exceptional and of course, the bullpen. I say whoever is ready is good enough. Lady VOLS tried using their lesser pitcher against Oklahoma and it fell flat. I don't think you could beat them no matter who you threw there, though.

 

[JCP201]

Tony V looked clammy last night and I guess they said he didn't have a voice? Maybe sick. Hatiesburg was a horrible place to play.

 

[wtmvol]

And 2 of those 3 losses came last year with one of the best teams in college baseball history. Unreal.

You could tell he was tired.

I had a prophetic dream last night about this Saturday’s game against the Corndogs. Here’s the divine message that was sent to me:

 

[NorCalVol67]

I should have bought airline tickets last week. They were expensive then, but are now outrageous.

 

[volz2wallz]

GBO!!️

 

[CAVPUT]

Thanks to Danny White for being a big part in this.

Get that reno goin' Danny. Keep Tony V happy.

Wear out who’s BP? It’s not a series vs LSU.
