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

[TheBigOne10]

Need to work another 20+ pitch inning here

 

[VolGirl81]

We are in this game if we can just get some hits!

 

[Tenacjim]

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

Plus for all intents and purposes, his only “job” is baseball. Likely, not the case at the AFA.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

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

SMH

Uh...you gave up. Did you not just post we'll lose the first two games?

 

[RockyTopJA]

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

You don’t start a cycle right before the post season for sure. For me it’s the stamina and ability to consistently throw at that velo that made me question when we played them to begin with. Guys can push 100+ blow bys for an inning or two but mostly lose gas after that, but dude just keeps it up??? 30 FB at 100+??

These announcers need to stfu

Blue is just as dazzled by skenes as the ESPN booth

I think this ump is pretty consistent to be honest. He has a wide zone than most. But pretty consistent.that’s all you came ever ask from an ump. Skenes is hitting the corner of the wide zone where Lindsey wasn’t.

Think you have me confused with someone else

Pop up Cal is Out

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Do or die! Gotta work the pitch count. He can still go 8.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Has anyone blasted a homer off Skenes before? Just curious

 

[mattdingus2002]

I’d almost be happy if our guys waiting till 2 strikes to swing, need to get his pitch count up

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Quit swinging at the first pitch guys

 

[C-south]

We’ve started making contact at last. Need to find some holes.

Were you in the bathroom for the bottom of the 5th? Getting snacks?

 

[Volbrando]

Does anyone know if Skenes is playing?

Jesus

 

[TheBigOne10]

Way to work him Maui. 1 pitch.

 

[Go47]

Stark / Ahuna = almost automatic outs.

 

[Switch 625]

Pop ups and lazy fly balls aren’t going to get it done.

 

[Baulder]

And one pitch out completely wastes an out

 

[theroyz71]

Bullcrap. He's not joining the military when he's done playing baseball.

 

[C-south]

He’s 5 feet off the bag!

7 on the season, Tulane hit one off him.

 

[Orange931]

He came off
