How much shit does one need hanging around his neck?

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.

[Scholz 11923]

Yeah he’s a grown ass man now

[Wally Pryor 5240]

Indeed. 

Not a fair fight.

[Augustus 3061]

Wow

Goddam

 

[Wally Pryor 5240]

Great play by LSU first baseman.

[Augustus 3061]

Am I the only one watching this game?

Holy fuck, man.   

[WBT 20397]

E-Kansas tamperee.  That's a shame.

[UTEX_ME 4754]

LSU / Wake will determine who wins this thing. Other side of the bracket is a whole lot of meh.

Hope Wake fucks em up

[Beau Vine 53964]

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.

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

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?

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

A late Tennessee rally for an upset here would make this day so damn perfect.

It is very unbalanced this year. 

[Hondo 661]

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.  

[Augustus 3061]

Ahem.....

[Surly Bevo 24692]

LET'S FUCKING GO

[Augustus 3061]

Cooper's only gained 7 pounds since the Supers.  I'm impressed.

[Surly Bevo 24692]

Congratulations on your one pitch in the CWS bro....nice hanger

[WBT 20397]

Pulling that guy after 1 pitch huh?  Here comes ol' bag of biscuits.

[Hondo 661]

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.

[Surly Bevo 24692]

Easily safe

[Augustus 3061]

All kinds of safe.

Inexcusable, ump

[Augustus 3061]

Rock this fat-ass.

[Augustus 3061]

Need to see a replay.  Don't see how that was a strike.  But I could be wrong.

[shadow_operative 15931]

terrible called third strike.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3319]

Whoever loses this game is cooked when they play Stanford and that Matthews dude shimmies and shakes and shuts their shit down. 

[Hondo 661]

Broke around the plate...but...he's been calling it all night.  Hitter can't watch that with 2 strikes.

[Wally Pryor 5240]

LSU going to win this thing.

Tonight?  Yeah.

[Beau Vine 53964]

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!

[dcar00 14023]

that is quick pitching...

[shadow_operative2.0 15820]

Big boy eats the final out. 

[Augustus 3061]

Damn, I wanted one more batter just to see what would happen.

LSU is freakishly talented.  

[WBT 20397]

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.

[Hondo 661]

Ah, yeah...gotcha.  2 and out in 2021 (bounced by Texas), no CWS in 2022.

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. 

 

[Hondo 661]

Still 0-fer in the CWS under Vitello.

LSU was built to break the Ole Miss record.  They may pass 10,000 tonight.

 

 

 

[locodos 5329]

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.

Not a bad second place showing from the tee totaling baptists.
