The Official Tennessee vs Stanford College World Series Thread ( Mon. 6/19 2PM EST) ESPN

Great win for the Vols. I'm still high from that 14 inning win at Clemson. Everything past that has been gravy. I don't care which team we get as long as the bats get hot and we keep winning. GO VOLS.

 

[vol94]

Wake is a 60/40 favorite tonight for a reason.

I assume it’s b/c of their pitching. Correct?

 

[taylorvol]

Y'all did a great job. We can hear you! Represent!

Tell everyone "Go Vols" and thank you from the board.

My voice is leaving me but it’s been well worth it. Very blessed to be in Omaha and witness a HUGE CWS win! It’s been an incredible season! More baseball to be played!

 

[Titan05]

I assume it’s b/c of their pitching. Correct?

Yup. They’re very deep on the mound. Having to beat them twice? No thanks.

 

[drylo]

Such a gritty win… once again. Please give me LSU tomorrow and let Beam send ‘em back to Red Stick.

 

[VOLnFLA]

Wanting to face Skenes again when you can avoid him is dumb. Not trying to insult anyone, but he's been the best pitcher in college ball this year. People have severely underestimated him. If we can face LSU without him in an elimination game??? That's what I want.

It's literally like wanting to face randy johnson makes zero since. Skenes is unreal

 

[WillisWG]

Tip of the cap to Stanford!
3 straight CWS’ is no easy feat.

Says a lot about their program as much as it says about ours.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I assume it’s b/c of their pitching. Correct?

Definitely! LSU has a great team on the field. Their weakness is the pitching depth.

WF seems to have more balance. Of course, some years, the ACC doesn't measure up. So, we shall see.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Give me option B. Skenes on short rest isn’t the Skenes from the other day. Wake with their pitching depth is more dangerous.

Right ... and what was his pitch count on Saturday night? I welcome that matchup tomorrow, if it is LSU.

 

[WillisWG]

Vols have now beaten the overall #4 seed, 17 (ish) seed, and overall 8 seed in the post season. What a special team.

Very special

That’s all I got!

Love it

 

[volsagain]

I would rather see Kim Mulkey stripping then see LSU win tonight or any other night.

Ewe you are old

 

[chuckiepoo]

He’s not a ****ing machine. Anyone on short rest is less than effective.

Wake is the more complete and dangerous team.

Yep. So we’re the 2022 Vols. On paper don’t count at this point. Lot of coaching and midseason foreshadowing going on here.

 

[JCP201]

I don't know who to root for --going to watch tonight and see who we are playing. Will it be 7:00 tomorrow night? (LSU would be great to eliminate. I just want to win)

 

[NighthawkVol]

I think I’d rather play wake, but I’d also rather knock lsu out before we have to see Skenes again. It’s tough on who to root for tonigh

This one is easy. If it’s LSU next, we face them without Skenes. If it’s Wake next, we have to beat Wake to get to LSU with Skenes.

Basically, we’re going to have to beat both LSU and Wake regardless. The question is, do you want to face LSU with or without Skenes? Pretty simple answer. Go Wake.

 

[knoxvol52]

Ewe you are old

Lol

 

[SuzyVol]

NCAA Baseball said Chase Burns put up best relief pitching at CWS since 1969!

Must have been talking about James Street.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Looking forward! Just love and thankful this team is very special and built for tomorrow’s game.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Wanting to face Skenes again when you can avoid him is dumb. Not trying to insult anyone, but he's been the best pitcher in college ball this year. People have severely underestimated him. If we can face LSU without him in an elimination game??? That's what I want.

Exactly. If you’re gonna make it to the championship series, you’re gonna have to beat both teams anyway. It’s stupid to prefer playing LSU with Skenes.

 

[chuckiepoo]

I would rather see Kim Mulkey stripping then see LSU win tonight or any other night.

Kimmie working a pole? Hubba, Hubba…

[VolFanGBO]

I would rather see Kim Mulkey stripping then see LSU win tonight or any other night.

I hate Kim Mulkey

 

[knoxvol52]

Ewe you are old

Don't want the Lady Vols attacking me for ogling younger women.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I don't know who to root for --going to watch tonight and see who we are playing. Will it be 7:00 tomorrow night? (LSU would be great to eliminate. I just want to win)

Yes. That is 5:00 mountain time for you Peyton.

 

[Halph66]

I would rather see Kim Mulkey stripping then see LSU win tonight or any other night.

THat's a very strong opinion.
