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

[Caz]

Yep, almost a guaranteed 3ks in a row

Just close your eyes and swing hard in case you hit it

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

I’m sorry to say it guys, but we’re gonna need to get really lucky to pull this one out tonight

Unless LSU pours in on, I could see Skenes throwing a complete game.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Skenes is juiced right. We can all agree. Ain’t no way you’re adding 5-7mph in an off season.

LSU has better weight room and nutrition resources than Air Force, and I’m sure they know what tacky substances they can get away with to boost spin rates too

 

[WeNeedaQB]

The strike zone for LSU is quite a bit bigger.

We are getting big time strike zone on those high curve balls.

 

[volz2wallz]

Let's do this halvy!!️

 

[volsagain]

They don't want to use the pen . They'll pitch him 130 if they need to.

 

[vollygirl]

Lets be honest. Not looking promising with some of these swings. Either late or just cant catch a break. Only down 2 but feels much more the way he is pitching.

You're not going to hit it if you don't swing at it, and you have no idea if it's going to be called a ball or strike.

 

[docholiday]

We need the Tennessee that pulls miracles to show up.

It's not miracles dear. It is all clutch.
Unlike some of these idiots think like SGM............ A ton of baseball left in Omaha. Enjoy the show folks.

 

[vol94]

Keep the game close and see if we can make noise in 7-9 innings.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Its hard to beat Skenes when he has 1.25x the strike zone to throw into

 

[Zues1]

Keep the game close and see if we can make noise in 7-9 innings.

Well it's still close

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Scott… him, stark and Ahuna in order really bothers me

Kyle Booker had the chance but couldn’t hit. We don’t have a catcher who can hit. Not sure why Ahuna is batting lead off.

 

[RockyTopJA]

LSU has better weight room and nutrition resources than Air Force, and I’m sure they know what tacky substances they can get away with to boost spin rates too

But that’s an insane bump. If he were a frosh transfer I could maybe get on board but dude is seasoned.

 

[vol94]

Yeah, I doubt they take him out unless he becomes fatigued or out bats get to him. They’ll let him go up to 125 pitches if he feels okay.

 

[GhostVol]

Bottom 5, TN down 2 and so many giving up......

SMH

Imagine if Maddux or Glavine could throw 102mph with the strike zone they got.. you got Skenes lol

Steroids? In baseball?!

It’s unbelievable. You would think people have learned by now with how many times we’ve been down late and won.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

If Ahuna could hit like he fields, he’s SEC POTY

 

[Christian Lowe]

But that’s an insane bump. If he were a frosh transfer I could maybe get on board but dude is seasoned.

I just don’t believe he’d risk it this close to the draft at least.

 

[vol94]

Well it's still close

That’s my point. Hence, Keep …

 

[Proud Army Wife]

They’re hitting Haley too. Bummer

 

[cwbytruckers]

No one is giving up. But its our guys vs Skenes and the UMPs Zone

He is really really good MLB good. Throw in wide zone. In CHRIST Alone
