Just perusing their boards, a lot of their fans seem to think they're going to "tee off" on Skenes because they think "he only throws fastballs."

Could see Wake playing tight tonight, LSU's bullpen is out of their mind right now and it seems like the Tigers have all of the momentum.

Their 2 biggest mid order bats have look completely flustered and tightassed the entire CWS. Dunno why that would change tonight.

Wake's leadoff hitter is a baller.

Yeah, ESPN guys keep making a big deal about them but they haven't been able to handle some of the lower level guys in LSU's bullpen.

That's got to be frustrating, a freshman like Herring coming in and shutting down "Rake Forest."

It always sucks to have the chance to put someone away and not do it.

I suppose it depends on how their skipper has mentally prepared them thought the year.

Tell me you have never watched him play without telling me you have never watched him play.

If they think he only throws fastballs, they are going to have a long day.

You keep saying it, but you keep popping up in baseball threads.

Btw, how was the trip back to Knoxville?

Your first thread on this site was you beating your chest over a Tennessee reliever's fastball.

I don't think it matters what their fans think.

They should feel fine. They have a great pitcher and a good line up.

Is that why y'all left early? To flip the calendar to football?



Bad news for you, the ghost of Hendon Hooker's knee ain't walking thru that door

They just lost their first game, so their confidence is a little shaken. LSU has to strike first

FWIW, the field in Omaha is quite a bit bigger than their home stadium.

Then why couldn’t they hit Ty Floyd’s fastballs?

I just want to ask them why "Rake Forest" got shut down by two freshmen and a truck driver?
