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

[C-south]

Merritt’s bat is too short

He can’t cover the plate. Same with Ahuna. He’s killing the outside of the plate that these guys have no chance to hit.

Skenes is dominating and it looks like Tennessee will be facing Stanford on Monday.

and we get their ace

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Skenes is really good . . . And this wider strike zone . . . Makes him almost un-hittable. Mix in our 8/9/1 batters being pretty much automatic outs . . .

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I know Skenes is good. I know. But to not even scratch 1 run across tonight against him….like come on. Just sucks. It is what it is, it just sucks and isn’t fun.

 

[barney]

That looked like the same pitch on all 3 strikes

 

[Switch 625]

This is embarrassing. Can’t even get a foul ball.

Frustrating as hell!

 

[orange parmejohn]

Following online. Is LSU getting a big strike zone?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Skene’s getting close to 100 pitches

Season high is 124..... Need a long 8th

 

[volfan102455]

Our boys do not look like they belong.

Seriously? They belong in Omaha! They earned this trip.

 

[lilesrt]

Vols outmatched.

This team needs like 3 more sluggers who can defense

 

[VolGirl81]

Probably going to get the 9th against their pen. Gotta do work

They’ll leave him to get the record as long as they can

 

[Christian Lowe]

This is embarrassing. Can’t even get a foul ball.

On the bright side, it’s not as bad as those two Florida games

 

[theroyz71]

These announcers are dreadful

We haven't given them anything e
To talk about.

 

[knoxvol52]

No way a guy can go from ,92-94 range ayear ago to 99-100 with his fastball without a little help steroids.

 

[mattdingus2002]

Why did car shave?

 

[Baulder]

Cam makes UT history!

 

[GhostVol]

Get out of this inning and tell the batters to not swing first pitch

Skenes out pitch on 2 strikes is heat

That's when you look for it

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

God I wish we had got Skenes

I wish we had more than 2 starters who hit more than 300 and no starters hitting less than 200

 

[mattdingus2002]

Why did car shave?

Cam not car lol

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Our boys do not look like they belong.

Ridiculous post

 

[C-south]

That looked like the same pitch on all 3 strikes

And they were all strikes. You can’t reach and expect to hit 100 mph pitches.

 

[Bigvalley84]

Skenes very well could be in the majors by September , 6 more outs to get something going
