The Official Tennessee vs LSU CWS Game Thread (Tues. 6/20 7PM EST ESPN)

[a vol n tears]

I totally agree that LSUs Achilles hill all year has been the bull pen. After Skeens their staff is just good. However they won 19 league games and that offense can be nasty if they get going. I see this as another close game in this great CWS thus far.
Am I remembering correctly that Tenn has lost by the widest margin and also won by the widest margin of the games played thus far? If you love college baseball, this has been a great Series.

Hopefully Tennessee puts together a complete game tonight.
I don't believe we've seen that in Omaha.

 

[TBvol]

Go Vols

 

[VOLnFLA]

No way after throwing what 127 against us? At least I hope not

I'd bet my entire salary skenes don't see the field tonight

This confuses me, not to be "trying too hard", but lots of conflicting info out there

NCAA Pitching Rules in 2023: All the Updated Rules


I guess we'll see tonight.

GBO and God Bless Tony Vitello

This is definitely conflicting information. It has not been enforced as we have seen 156 pitches thrown by a Pitcher in the Regionals.
I have no idea how many times the 115 count and 110 Counts have been exceeded, but I am willing to bet this has been numerous times in the Regular season and in the Postseason as well.

 

[Orange.]

There is no rule. People can quit asking or wondering.

We are fixing to stomp a mud hole in LSU’s azz.We are due a breakout game with the bats and I can’t think of another team that I would rather see it happen against. Especially since Arky and Vandy are not here.

 

[Orange.]

I send this out as a good luck charm. GBO!

 

[EezyE]

You just made this up.

No, I didn’t make it up. I researched it and found it in multiple locations. However, if it is incorrect, I have no problem saying I was wrong and it’s apparent I was.

For LSU, I expect Riley Cooper followed by whatever other lefties they have.

For the Vols, hoping the Beamer can have a good night. Might as well follow him with AJ Russell. We're going to need his contributions before it is over. Vollie and Camden can be the usual firemen tonight.

I have a feeling that this thread may break all previous page numbers for a given thread.

 

[csheaton]

I wish people would quit asking about a pitch count limit. This isn’t little league, there is no pitch count….and you are not a real baseball fan if you didn’t already know that.

 

[Gandalf]

I’m hearing Skenes is definitely going tonight!
He’s gonna use his left arm instead of his right. Apparently he throws 150 MPH fast ball with his left arm and a change up that literally comes to a complete stop in mid-air.

Saw this on a message board so it’s most likely legit.

Excellent work using “education” and “one’s self” in the same sentence, spirit guide Jethro.

 

[Gandalf]

No way we lose to … this… if we beat LSU right?

Goes to show you never know when you need a handful of these for protection!

A team did it a few years back. Started their ace then used him as the closer for the rest of the games.

 

[Mccage]

Yes, it looks like that website is pulling CT high school rules. The NCAA rule books are all available online — baseball here, for anyone who wants to personally review. But there are no pitch count rules.[/QUOTE
Absolutely no rules….I doubt any Reputable Coach would jeopardize a player’s career.

The LSU social media dudes seem pessimistic in scoping around. They have transitioned the hope of their season to knock us out.

This

They hit Burns at last facing, we just lit Thatcher or whatever up for like 10 in the first 2. We need our hitting to be hot.

Did he learn that from the Wake Forest pitching lab?
