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

[CAPTAIN--VOL CAVALRY]

So Skenes has to sit out tomorrow, right?

How did I get well known member status with 46 post? LOL

Err body knows you .

 

[NO SIR EEE]

So what’s up with the other side of the bracket getting a day off between their game 3 vs our side playing back to back days?

I’m curious about this as well. If we keep winning we have to play every day until a short break before the national title series.

 

[AthensVol2007]

It’s looking like a bullpen game. They used both starters they had left trying to beat Wake.

I think Cooper gets the nod and hope the hefty lefty can keep us in check. He can go 5+ if we’re not blasting him, get to him early and I think it’s game on.

Didn't we blast him in the regular season series?

 

[AthensVol2007]

Surely. Only thing that sucks is we probably won’t be seeing burns tomorrow at all

Not probably, there’s no chance. If we can get to Thursday I think you have him for 2 innings or so.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Yeah 6 runs but over 5.2 innings. Hurd is who they started and he didn’t make it out of the 1st and gave up 6 runs.

Who will pitch for LSU tomorrow?

Seems like tiger's already gave up

I don't understand this, either.

We got the corn dog breath tigers right were we want them.

 

[spyfish007]

They have 1 extra day rest as they started early. I was surprised the #1 seed side of the bracket didn't get the extra day.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Well lsu will try to start skeens

That would be epically dumb.

It's my biggest complaint with the bracket. It's a pretty big advantage.

 

[EezyE]

Zero

Not true…During the regular season, pitchers cannot throw more than 115 pitches in a game. In post season play, pitchers are not supposed to pitch more than 110 pitches in a game, and if they hit 110, they must sit out 3 days.

Tennessee's chances of winning are solid with Beam on the bump.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

LSU coach just said he has 9 pitchers available for tomorrow nights matchup

 

[TheBigOne10]

Think of how many breaks went LSU’s way behind the best pitcher in America….all to beat us 6-3. The bloop hits, the perfectly executed outfield alignment, a strike zone in the shape of Louisiana. We will break them tomorrow. My mind, body and spirit is ready.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Who?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Who?

Didn’t elaborate, but whether we all like it or not, they’re gonna throw the kitchen sink tomorrow night. I almost guarantee Skenes won’t start, but we’ll see him.

 

[Titan05]

Maybe easier, but not easy

No lsu is done, broken. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a double digit margin tomorrow.

I hope you’re right, but their backs are against the wall just like ours.
