I can absolutely see them losing in Omaha. Cavernous park compared to that band box they play in .Normal Home runs in their park will die on the warning track in TD Ameritrade. However, they do have solid pitching also

1) I never said I couldn’t see them losing in Omaha. I guess what I said was, it’s really hard for me to see them losing TWICE in Omaha. Or 3 times, depending on circumstances,

2) SOLID pitching? Solid? They lead Division 1 in ERA at 2.37. 2.37. #2 was Southern Miss at 3.06. That’s almost a .7 runs/game difference. That’s huge. #3 is Northeastern. Yes, Northeastern. Who the frick are they? You don’t know? Me and the rest of the world either. But their team ERA is 3.46. So the difference between Tennessee’s team ERA and #3 that nobody’s ever heard of is almost 1.1 runs/game. In ALL of Division 1. With most of those games—or at the very least, EXACTLY the same amount as their offense—played in “that band box” you refer to. What might their opponents’ offenses do in “cavernous TD Ameritrade?”

That being said, Remember UCLA beating us with nobody on their roster hitting over 275. We ran into some really good pitchers those few days who were on their game

In 2010, when they beat us in the Supers with Trevor Bauer and Garret Cole on their staff? That’s exactly what this thread is about—that being the kind of team in the kind of format that can beat them. If you mean 2013 in the CWS, well that’s ONE game. And our ‘13 team, as good as they were, had nowhere near the power of this year’s Tennessee team.

You bastards have made such terrible arguments it’s made me—painfully—have to suck these cocksuckers off. I do not like them. I do not want them to win. Bigly, I don’t. But…
