College World Series Thread...

Hmmm was I wrong? No amateur. Know a lot more about these teams than you. Actually giving people heads up if they have a lot of money on the game that in situations like what unfolded today it hasn't gone well (a lot more often than not) for LSU. Gives them a chance to hedge before it is too late. I should have myself but was only $300 so I let it ride. Turns out to have been a bad call on my part because what I expected to happened actually indeed happened.

On that note didn't you call the Florida game in what the third? Was that armature hour on your part Jameson?

@jesron1269

I got up and was reading the paper.Washington Post..

and there's an article about pitches in the CWS..

Mathews threw 156 pitches in game 1..

Yesterday threw 86...

70 less...Thank goodness the manager has a heart...

Yeah he hit a brick wall that inning. Couldn’t get an out. Sunk his team. Was rolling all game long until that inning. 

Going with LSU again-105 got it earlier 

Good luck everyone! 

Ohhhh and the 156 pitches was at the Super Regional 9 days ago now. But yeah I wonder (despite historically speaking he averages a very high pitch count) if that wall he ran into in the 5th or 6th inning wasn't as a result of so many pitches in the Super Regional.

Both LSU and Tennessee starting pitching should be pretty well used up. Bullpen games from both teams. It is hard for me to believe that I won't be backing LSU in this game too. Probably fairly big. But I want to wait to see who are announced in the pitching match ups. Probably shouldn't though because frankly other than Skenes starting pitching hasn't meant much so far. 

Oral Bob +1.5 -130 is my play in the early game.

Love that line. I am thinking the same thing plus money line.

Very true! I'm hoping Tcu bats improve drastically tonight. Looking at the over for a small play as well. 

@Flyguy1700

I can't imagine I won't be on Oral Roberts. They were the team I said I was going to ride or die with before the tourney started. They played TCU tough the entire first game and found a way to pull it out the end. They even should have beat (not just covered) Florida. This is a gritty never say die team. Pitching isn't their strong suit but they have been more than serviceable this tourney.

drew beam for tennessee 

cooper/ack/guidry are the names i heard for lsu - believe first two are lefties

pretty sure beam has been confirmed though

gl

I'm thinking of taking them +1.5 seems reasonable as could be a close one 

Hey all, big TCU steam at my book. Went from -153 to -174. Now sitting at -171. Anybody know what lead to this? Was there a pitching change? 

@Kaufee

I think Kole Klecker is pitching for TCU. He went 5 shutout innings, pulled in the top of the six when OR hit a lead off double (manager was quick on the draw because after that the next 4 innings the TCU bullpen gave up 6 runs). He is their best pitcher by far. He pitched 87 pitches and only on 4 day rest. He is a sophomore and never pitched on 4 days rest before (usually 6-8) collegiately from what I can tell. So no idea how this will effect him to be honest.

@jesron1269

 Dont know much about the CWS but I looked at 5 media sites,all are picking Oral Roberts.That would scare me.

Beam vs. a lefty definitely would lead itself to an under but we all saw what one inning can do to an under yesterday.

Major steam coming in from the Soufh Side. It's stinky too, go the other way.

Yeah I have noticed this. Definitely has my attention. Thanks for stopping in and sharing.

South Side? Like Chicago? What do you mean stinky? Can you explain? Are you saying go Oral Roberts?

@jesron1269

Thanks Jerson. That makes sense. With the adrenaline and the age of these kids, the 4 days rest doesn’t bother me. However, the fact the OR just saw him is concerning. 

hmmm, feeling torn on this one 

High school kids pitch on 3-4 days rest all the time. I know this is college. Just saying. You make a good point of OR already seeing him. But he was highly effective.

Best of luck 1269! 

For me...rolling with them FROGS on the ML!!

LET'S GO!!! 

BOL today QBUN!

@jesron1269

All things considered. I’m gonna roll with TCU. More talented and an advantage on the mound. But I expect a doozy 
BOL today Jesron! 

Yeah I am too actually. I played TCU -140 risking $420 to win $300. Line movement. The fact that no one is backing them coupled with the line movement. Better starting pitching. Better hitting in game 2. Hard to beat a team 2x. I have a future on OR anyway so kinda a hedge. Plus played under 12.5 -120 risking $240 to win $200. BOL to all!

All odds are from Draft Kings.
