The Horns handled him without too much trouble

His fastball was sub-95mph last year.  Average is 98mph and he hits 100mph all day.  He was good last year, but in another world this year.

I keep reading that it's Crews-Skenes, 1-2 in either order.  

I'd question the intelligence of anyone who has Skenes behind Crews.

Teams get Crews every day.  Skenes every 5 games.  Personally, I'd take Skenes, but that's the rationale for the argument.

What is the wrist apparatus that Skenes wears…is he getting the pitches signaled to him….if so, did the Horns and other pitchers use this?

Skenes is pissed about being pulled.  Touching 101mph in the 8th after 123 pitches...probably would have been alright leaving him in, but I get it.

And that's why.  RP leaves a spinner up and it's a brand new ballgame.  They were sitting on Skenes' fastball, bit it still had good run on it and they weren't barreling it up all that much.  Touch one at 100mph and it gets out of the park, but so do sliders that don't break.

I kept wondering why I'm getting all these fucking Grimace's birthday McDonald's commercials, and then, boom!!  There it is!!   He's pitching!

Greatest product placement ever!

Be a shame if Tennessee goes 2 and Q for their 2nd straight trip to Omaha.  Very aggy like.

Didn't they get knocked out in the Super Regional last year by Notre Dame?  Agreed on the sentiment though.

They got knocked out the last two seasons in a row.

Yeah, last year they lost to ND.  I meant their last trip to Omaha when they lost the 1st one to Virginia and then we knocked them out.

Meanwhile, good guys get ready for Bob tomorrow. The last time we won this whole thing we played LSU in the final, so I don’t want to change a thing.

 

Having said that, we probably lose two to Bob.

I bet that LSU pitcher (Skienes?) drives an old beat up Camero with T-tops.  Lot of White Snake energy emanating from the LSU team.
