No time for reason on this board sir. We've had to piece together the last 2 games, lets do it again for no reason


this board is ignorant and insane. we just won 2 johnny wholestaff games we were expected to lose because perception is our pitching sucks after skenes.

we pulled out not 1 but 2 wins! yeah lets test mother nature again a 3rd time in the second straight game against the #1 team

crazy pills. talk about tempting fate.

If Skenes throws more than 5 innings tonight, he MIGHT make a short appearance in game 3 IF we get that far. Bullpen games can be won against WF. I don't see that as a realistic option vs UF's lineup. I'd rather roll the dice tonight (the first few innings) than in the finals. I think we match up fantastically with Florida if Skenes throws game 1. Without him, THAT would be a shitload harder than tonight.


What?

You mean that you are more afraid of Florida's offense than Wake's?

Batting Average: Wake Forest #26, Florida #86 (and before you say that's because of ACC pitching...LSU is #18)
Runs: Wake #2, Florida #10 (LSU #1)
Hits: Wake #14, Florida #19 (LSU #6)
Home Runs: Wake #5, Florida #3 (LSU #2) - effectively neutralized at CWS
OBP: Wake #5, Florida #84 (LSU #2)
Slugging: Wake #8, Florida #7 (LSU #5)

Florida is good - there's a reason they are #2. But there's also a reason Wake is #1 and LSU is #5. There are three really good teams left in Omaha, and our opponent tonight is Wake Forest. We have to beat them to face Florida. Wake is not some lightweight SunBelt school that's on a lucky streak; those guys can hit so I'd rather not find out just how much they can hit by being cute and starting Thatcher Hurd.

Why because he makes more sense than someone whose sole goal is beating Wake Forest? The pure number of "intelligent" posts here speaks highly of the IQ level and higher strategic level cognitive thinking of the typical commentator.

I can see arguments both ways but do NOT think starting Skenes is an automatic decision.

If the ACC is better than the SEC then your post would make some sense. Wake Forest and the ACC haven't looked better than the SEC. There were number 1 for 4 weeks - LSU was number one for 11 weeks.

Just stop. Skenes is going to put this team literally on his shoulder. It's what Alphas do. Alphas have Alpha egos. Hes going tonight and he's going Monday and in his mind Tigers are either going to win the natty or his arm is going to fall off trying. Alpha ego brother. shite happens in the MLB world series too

You've seen other teams ace's do this just this week. Quinn Matthews.

To deconstruct the abject stupidity of nearly all of your posts, just isn't worth my time.

I’m still questioning why Jay started Skenes against Tulane in the regional? ??

In all seriousness, if CJJ pitches Skenes against Tulane as a conservative approach, no way he doesn’t pitch Skenes to save him for the championship.

And......?

There's a reason I posted LSU's stats in there too. UF isn't a high BA team, nor are they a high OBP team. WF is, in many cases because of their ability to take walks. They are #1 in the country in walks (LSU is #3).

I guess my point is that Florida is no more dangerous a team than Wake is, so why are some of our fans acting as if we'd be better off throwing trash against Wake because we'll need the big boys more against UF?

No. It means I'm more afraid of Florida's ace on full rest than WF's on 4 days.
