College World Series Thread...

Good luck 

Tigers have ole Mo working for them...so big in college sports. Gators gotta wrest Mo away from the Tigers to win.

Personally I think they are equally matched as demonstrated by it going 12 innings last night. Hard for me to believe this doesn’t go 3 games. We will see of course. 

@jesron1269

 Quite possible. Florida has an edge on the mound today. LSU is riding momentum. Should be another fine baseball game. Love good baseball!

Will be on Florida myself. What a game last night 

Yes major mistake by my local….the Man wiped out my LSU series line wager.  
Moving along…

Gators saw that wind blowing out, know they score almost half their runs from home runs and swung for the fences every high fastball they saw. Not happening again today, gator bats come alive and we get what everyone wants… game 3 with Skeens on the mound. 

If it goes to game 3 tomorrow and Skenes goes at all... i would think  only 2-3 innings from him.

Certainly the Blues know they owe UF a few strike zone favors… imo 

Going with Florida today-115 FanDuel 

Good luck 

This Florida pitcher is shook 

Florida looks terrible. Pitcher getting crushed 

Well at least their bats came to play lol 3-3 in the top of the 3rd

LETS GOOOO GATORS!!! Grand slam baby!

13-3 Florida. Looking good. 

19-3 Florida. Don’t see LSU coming back today lol. +$500. Back tomorrow for the finale.  

Geaux tigers

All in for both teams tomorrow. Big question is how much does Skenes pitch tomorrow. Clearly they need him. Can’t go back to Coleman and they used what 5 relievers in todays butt kicking.

But current line is -140 to -155 LSU so that tells me Skenes starts. How long he goes don’t know.

@jesron1269

 The relievers we used today when florida was playing homerun derby were guys who haven't pitched in weeks ...our good guys are going tomorrow.  This team is battle tested and has great leadership. Anyone who thinks Florida is cruising to an easy win tomorrow is mistaken..

@LSU0626

 The question is how long can SKenes hold up. ...The line is favoring LSU...I like LSU and the under!

@LSU0626

Rigetti can’t be a scrub. He was used. But definitely never said Florida will cruise to an easy anything. But the wind going out to dead center might be a problem.  

Very good question. But he is a warrior. Was for Air Force. He will give it his all tomorrow. This is why he transferred to LSU. But I don’t know how much his all will be. Definitely think following the wind situation will be important.
