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

CTV is going to have to hit the portal hard and find some right-handed bats and a quality catcher.

Left handed bats too.

 

[GhostVol]

Ump's calling time to call his bookie in order to double-down on LSU

 

[LivinginthePast]

But why are we so aggressive. Why not let him walk us some? Dude grunts like an ogre when pitching and it’s so off plate.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Beach ball made an appearance. We can score now.

 

[Halph66]

Another high ass strike

 

[Vtonerider]

They’re done, I guess the best word is complacent. They were complacent with getting just 1 win. Now they’re gonna have 2 auto outs coming up in critical innings, and lord knows Vitello won’t bring anyone off the bench cause of his precious right lefty matchup. He’s a grey recruiter and he’s built this program up but his in game management is average at best

Head on over to the recruiting thread then.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Steaming hot take of the thread so-far.

 

[NATHAN05]

Unbelievable. This guy has pitched nearly a third of his total innings for the season against us tonight. And we haven’t scored a single run.

Yep.......having football flashbacks when QB2 gets their first start against us and they look like Heisman candidates.........2001?

But why are we so aggressive. Why not let him walk us some? Dude grunts like an ogre when pitching and it’s so off plate.

Because this umps zone ****ing sucks.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

It’s because he’s not

I just said he’s not. Read much?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Yea because our batters are aggressive and not making him work the count…our only chance was them going deep in their bullpen and right now they don’t have to do that because he’s low in the pitch count in the 7th..

So true!

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

The generous strike zone has us in a funk. Our best hitter Dickey swinging at high pitches yes that was a ball Christian all year but this tournament you have to swing. Ugly. In CHRIST Alone

I just don’t know why they get to Omaha and dont have a better approach. Have to wake up and not just give ABs away with terrible plate discipline

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I was so excited about this game. Blown opportunity to send LSU home.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Russell got some juice

 

[KB5252]

That was a nice pitch

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Some of these guys just don’t seem like they wanna be there. This teams full of egos and maybe it caught up to them

Dude, stop. Just leave the forum for the night. We’re playing bad but this ain’t it man. Stop.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

I was so excited about this game. Blown opportunity to send LSU home.

It ain’t over yet girl

 

[patrick]

We’ve let a guy who’s walked 13 guys walk 0 and pitch 1/3 of his season on us in one game.

Not swinging at good pitches.

 

[KnoxLandcruiser]

Keep it within two. Lock in and back up your pitcher….we’ll get at least one long ball tonight against these guys

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice pitching from Russell.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

That's pissing from Russell!

 

[Orange931]

Russell looking fantastic

 

[Orange.]

There you go, Russell

 

[Bigvalley84]

All we can do is keep fighting , we need some energy from someone

 

[theroyz71]

Russell is going to be a stud.
