I missed that. Only saw the top half of the 5th and when I came back inside the game had just ended.Did you see the pelvic thrust, preceded by a squat, that the (I think it was LSU) batter does when he steps in the batter's box?
THAT is the weirdest thing you'll ever see.
He won't. He may be able to come in as relief.
Who cares what the fans think. If he asked to pitch I would consult with the trainer and also his parents.
I think they may bring him in IF it's a tight game and they need to shut the VOLS down in the 7th or later. Let's hope that the VOLS are up by 10 at that point
I'll be shocked if he throws 1 pitch. He threw over 100 pitches and is on 2 days rest. There's no telling how many $Millions$ he has waiting on him. I don't think he risks an injury.
He's 21 years old. I'm not sure the parents' opinions matter if he insisted on pitching. He seems like a sharp young man though.
He threw 120 something pitches and threw 126 in his last super regional start as well. A lot of pitches on that arm
Yeah I know but I think they would all sit down and discuss his future. 21 is still young to make decisions like that.
I'm also being very optimistic about him not pitching because I don't want the Vols to EVER face him again!
Man they have been rough behind the plate. Haven't seen anything severely one sided, they have just sucked all the way around!
You see it every year in football so why not in baseball? Kids sit out bowl games to avoid the possibility of injury. I realize the World Series is different than a bowl game but some would argue it's not the championship series so it is the same. I know how competitive I was and still am so if me pitching meant the difference for my team give me the ball and let's go. Now like you I hope he doesn't pitch at all.
I saw a post on a Tennessee board by someone that saw Skenes at Waffle House today. Skenes said he's "eligible" to pitch tonight.
You can't make it up.
