Kentucky vs. LSU
- Thread starter Tskware
- Start date
No way it starts then. They haven't started game 1 and we're game 3. Be lucky if game 2 starts at 5.
This is nitpicking, but why did they put former Vol Chris Burke on the Tennessee game and former LSU Tiger Ben McDonald on the UK/LSU game?
Both are professionals, but to show less bias it makes more sense to switch them up and not have them doing their alma maters.

First pitch 10:40 ET
It's going to be a long night, boys. I hardly sleep anymore so it doesn't really matter to me.

Excited to see this play out. I was an idiot yesterday and actually watched an old highlight reel against Auburn and thought we lost to them in our play-in game. Pleasantly surprised to find out we won and are in the double elim portion!
SEC network is notorious for doing this in all sports. I like McDonald more than Burke but McDonald is a huge homer. Burke seems to not give UK any credit but he’s all over UL. I guess it’s the hometown connection.
I don't dislike either. Think they are both great, but they can both show a touch of favoritism. It isn't much, but mostly sharing a lot of stuff about their team due to their connections to it. That's not a huge deal, but they could have avoided it in this tournament with a tiny switch up.
If Hazelwood gets those pitches then he'll be unhittable tonight.
Interesting... we got Burke again. So McDonald just did the morning game with Dave Neal.

Good inning for Hazelwood. Kind zone for him. Umpire loves his low fastball. Not sure he likes the LSU curve as much. Lol
First to score has won every game so far this tournament.
Burkes is a ball player. Can’t believe it took Ming all season to figure that out.
I think we're lucky he came back at all. Think it may have taken a good talking to in order to keep him.
Hazelwood seems sharp. This LSU pitcher doesn't. Strikes aren't hitting spots even if they are strikes.
LSU in a spot now. Runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and Hazelwood struggling at 50 pitches in the 3rd.
