College World Series – TCU vs. LSU – Thursday Game Thread

[TCUdirtbag]

 ​

We all know there's a big baseball game tonight, and this is a thread to discuss and enjoy it. But in light of recent news, I thought it would be appropriate for all of us to first remember that, win or lose tonight, there are a lot of things in life that are more important than baseball, TCU, and sports.  All the links and previews for tonight's game are in the next post, but if you would, please take a few minutes before the game to lift up some prayers for TCU Baseball's super hero, Micah Ahern. If you don't know about Micah, here's a video from last year telling his story:​

 ​

As many of you have heard, the Aherns have received some devastating news.  ​

PhormerPhrog has started a thread where you can read an update on Micah and the family's requests for prayers and financial support: ​

 ​

As we cheer on our Frogs tonight, let's be sure we're also taking time to cheer on Micah and his family.  Go Frogs, and Godspeed to our super hero Micah. ​

You crack me up and i greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and information about baseball.

Just looking at Zac Person's numbers (K's/9 and opp BA), he appears to have great stuff, and when he's on he's hard to get to.

 

[punter9]

anyone have the line on this game?

 

[ten2textony]

Vegas sees a significant mismatch. LSU a heavy favorite:

Money line:
TCU: +175
LSU: -210

Spread:
TCU: +1.5 (Even)
LSU: -1.5 (-120)

O/U 8.5

 

[Reptilian]

scheiss it. I believe that we will win!

By the way, please revert back to what you wore while watching Sunday's game.

 

[Land Frog]

They're doing the hand sign right!!

 

[salamander]

They're doing the hand sign right!!

Did they have hands????

 

[Ron Swanson]

They're doing the hand sign right!!

They're doing everything right

 

[TCURiggs]

They're doing everything right

 
Four little miracles, IMO

Seeing it as high as -220.  http://www.betdsi.com/live-lines/baseball/college-baseball

13 hits against fullerton will do that I guess.  Good news is they didn't face Eschelman or his 1.58 ERA.  I like underdog status.  

 

[ATC Frog]

By the way, please revert back to what you wore while watching Sunday's game.

What if I wore the same thing on Sunday and Tuesday?

 

[punter9]

you have to do a naked lap around the neighborhood.  It's just like not making it past the ladies tee

 

[Reptilian]

Are those chicks random coeds, cheerleaders or show girls? So powerful. Damn. Just damn.
