  1. Safe
  2. This fidgety yahoo or Stanford's fidgety nerd...who burns more calories per at bat?
  3. HP umpire needs a Snickers, stat. Chubby's blood sugar is getting low and his eyesight is going. Strike zone is all over the place.
  4. Hurd has been so-so, but when he’s on he’s tough. Beat LBJ in a helluva duel. Was sitting behind home plate for that one and both pitchers had nasty stuff.
  5. Pitcher got screwed by his coach. Clearly out of gas and they just left him out there 2 batters too long. Gonna cost them big time.
  6. Announcer talking about the Hawaii kid having to "come to the United States" for baseball opportunities.
  7. Come on, Tree. Pretty much everyone ISIS Tennessee
  8. "10 singles" isn't because they're not hitting it hard. They're just hitting it right at people. "We're not seeing the swing-and-miss changeup" isn't because his change up isn't good. It's because Tenn is sitting on it, hitting the outside stuff up the middle or opposite field, and not looking to pull fastballs (that aren't coming) for HRs like our Texas hitters did. It's the recipe for that guy and why our guys couldn't figure that out is beyond me. Yeah, I'm still salty. Hate that we're not playing this week.
  9. Tennessee is approaching this guy like we should have been. Timing the off speed and fighting off the fastball. Weird how that works when the pitcher has a nasty changeup and sharp breaking ball.
  10. The Safety Orange really does it for me. Such a beautiful color. /s
  11. Dude looked like he left late AND was running in quicksand. No way that should have been that close at home on a fly ball hit that deep.
  12. They had 4 hits through 2 innings and were putting the barrel on it. That kind of success. The fact they didn't translate into runs is just baseball. Hard hit balls right at OFs are singles vs. doubles, etc.
  13. Crazy how Tenn is sitting offspeed and having success. Crazy, I tell you.
  14. Flamethrower vs. noodle arm pitching matchup.
  15. Still 0-fer in the CWS under Vitello.
  16. Ah, yeah...gotcha. 2 and out in 2021 (bounced by Texas), no CWS in 2022.
  17. Didn't they get knocked out in the Super Regional last year by Notre Dame? Agreed on the sentiment though.
  18. Broke around the plate...but...he's been calling it all night. Hitter can't watch that with 2 strikes.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Teams get Crews every day. Skenes every 5 games. Personally, I'd take Skenes, but that's the rationale for the argument. PitchCom
  22. 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.
  23. Haven't watch them. Are they prima donnas too? Last year's Tennessee team was the worst I've seen in awhile and it was incredibly satisfying to watch Notre Dame send their asses home. Hope LSU puts them in the losers bracket today before they themselves get knocked out by somebody.
  24. Two 9th inning meltdowns on Day 1. Yeah, gotta give ORU and UF's hitters credit, but that was mostly piss poor pitching. Don't really care who wins WF vs. Stanford (Wake, I guess, if I had to pick one), but hope LSU beats the brains out of Tennessee. Not a huge LSU fan and don't want them getting #7 before Texas does, but Tennessee is everything I hate in college baseball (and people in general).
