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

Have to pinch hit KT for CScott but CTV won’t do it to a 5th year guy in likely his last AB.

 

[VFL1127]

It really is. Walk off grand slam!

That would be awesome!

 

[utVolFanInVA]

That grand slam to win it in the 9th gonna be something huh

Don't think we could hit it out tonight standing at second base

 

[LordVOLdemort]

This umpire is in on the fix and you can’t convince me otherwise

 

[Volbrando]

Maybe we can give them a few more runs

 

[2EastTnVols]

We need some speed in a bad way

 

[DD4ME]

Just need to go down 4-0 first. We got this.

Lol

 

[lilesrt]

Just need to go down 4-0 first. We got this.

Lol. Good one!

 

[Vtonerider]

They are ridiculous, aren’t they? I mean, do they actually, truly believe these kids aren’t trying to win.

Yes, I believe they do! I think they secretly despise UT.

 

[vavolfan6]

Denton and Scott are both 0-3 tonight....gotta get something from them or its over.

 

[GhostVol]

I will say this. I know tradition and it's a great park and a great scene, but I don't understand playing the CWS at a site where big wind toward the plate is standard. Someone explain this to me after the game.

It evens the playing field for teams that can ONLY play small ball and manufacture runs

Baseball is all about what you can force across the plate and small ball teams don't score as many runs as big hitters do

The field gives the "little guys" a chance (or the "big guys" who also can manufacture runs). TN can't be anything but a big hitter team. HR's make for fun games, but unless you can gear down and actually play "baseball" when you can't hit 'em out you're gonna get beat.

I would be shocked if we didn't have the worst batting team in Omaha and it just decided to show up tonight. Outside of Dickey and CMO no hitter was what you would consider consistently clutch. Zane and Merrit did it a couple of times but this was just a weak offensive team with a catcher batting sub .180. The fully unexplainable defensive blunders decided to show back up after disappearing as well. All in all a successful season that made it to Omaha for a team that looked dead in the water in early April.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I'd ph Tears for Scott

And Drielimg for Stark

 

[VFL1127]

This umpire is in on the fix and you can’t convince me otherwise

Our offense hasn't given us a chance!

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

And Drielimg for Stark

Already uses Dreiling

 

[turbovol]

Our hitting has suxed--but letting the deficit grow from 1 run to 3 when you're not hitting tends to spell doom.

 

[CaliVol2009]

That grand slam to win it in the 9th gonna be something huh

lol

 

[DD4ME]

Game over

 

[VolFanGBO]

jesus

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Okay, now it's over. Still a great year, just sucks that it ends to LSU.

 

[BigALWiLson]

And Drielimg for Stark

He already used hi.

 

[volmoon]

Maybe we can give them a few more runs

Yep

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I called it!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Theres the kill shot, just pissed down our leg all night.

 

[Orange.]
