and we get their ace

We also got USM ace. We won’t see another pitchers as good as we are seeing tonight.

 

[VolGee4]

I laugh at you guys sometimes. Get upset at Maui for hitting the first pitch that he likes and then upset at CMO taking a pitch on the lower outside part of the zone. Like this is easy.

 

[barney]

Hopefully we get through the losers bracket and see LSU with one of their crap pitchers

 

[mr.checkerboards]

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

Theyre not going to chase records with a title on the line. A long 8th and hes done.

Skenes is putting on a clinic!

 

[Volbrando]

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

He definitely looks to have that McGuire build doesn’t he

 

[RockyTop140]

only have a couple of guys on our team with the ability to take what they get and hit it to opposite field

 

[TheBigOne10]

Our boys do not look like they belong.

Okay bud, you step in there against 100 and two other ++ off speed pitches and see what you can do.

 

[Volfan1000]

Ensley is the only hitter with two hits against their ace.

Most have never played and have no clue what they’re watching

 

[Christian Lowe]

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

Just give skenes 0-1 every at bat. Brilliant. Do you not remember us taking first pitch strikes down the middle for the first month or two of the season? Didn’t work out that great

 

[Switch 625]

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

We’re just playing scared and timidly.

 

[VOLinAL]

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.

Not even a double, and the singles weren’t really convincing either.

 

[Orange931]

Ensley is the only hitter with two hits against their ace.

Very close to 3

 

[Sudden Impact]

He is that good and I we will face LSU again and beat them. We have the pitching to move through the Loser's bracket to the final...

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Defense always out of position

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

It may help if the umpire wasnt standing to the side of the plate calling strikes

 

[C-south]

 

[Orange931]

F LSU

 

[GhostVol]

When you get skip TX leaguers and your fans act like you hammered a 500 footer

 

[TheBigOne10]

Stanford gonna throw their freakish lefty against us on Monday. Will not be easy.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Literally everything is going the way of LSU tonight. I hate this.

 

[Switch 625]

We can’t catch a break

 

[G0V0LS33]

Knew this one would be tough. That dude on the bump is for real

 

[cwbytruckers]

LSU also has seeing eye balls tonight. It helps to get lucky also.
