Re: Major League/Minor League Tidbits

What about Jeron Kendall and Kyle Wright? Kyle had an atrocious first start in AAA after the Braves sent him back down. His second start was somewhat better. If he can regain his command, there's a dire need for callups of any functional arms in the minors, starter or reliever, that can throw strik...

Re: Sonny Gray faces the Braves tonight

Opportunity to see him pitch against the 4th best runs per game team in the National League (5.4) Gray is somehow 0-3 with a 2.79 ERA. Didn't realize Sonny was on the mound tonight. Mixed emotions for tonight's game then. 5.4 runs per game still isn't enough with this bullpen (Insert hurling emoji ...

Love it! Missed tonight's game due to the NCAA championship, but Dansby has been locked in all year. And yes, as another thread stated about the MLB Network's effusive praise for Corbin, Chip/Jeff and previously Chip/Joe also bring up Corbin and VU's college baseball success and reputation for produ...

Clarke and DeMarco did not redshirt. Both were High School Class of 2017. Both are a few months older than most of their peers in their same grade.

Re: What happened to Kevin Ingram?

I'm not impressed by Ned Michaels. Referring to Drake Fellow and Jayson Bleday. Seems like he had never seen a Vanderbilt game before he got this gig. And then tonight he asked how many innings must a game go to become official in the case of a rainout. Did we recruit him from the ranks of cricket ...

Re: TCU-Vandy Thread

well this early in the season good to have some things to improve - I suppose the good thing about this spanking is that we will focus on getting better rather than basking in the glow of #1. We want to be #1 at the end of the year. If getting "spanked" was that great a motivator, our 2 b...

There's not even a standard way to calculate it.

Sounds like five good additions!!!! Almost every player with meaningful experience returns!!! Very excited about next year!!!!!

Glad we were able to extend Coach Ambrose to 2023. He, his staff, and his young ladies are all great ambassadors for VU. @GAD

What happens to the 5 players who don't make the 35?

Is it a case of "oops, sorry, we over-recruited, you'll need to move on", or is it a little more forgiving than that?
I'm curious about this as well... Anyone?

Re: SEC Tournament

We had several great opportunities - but couldn't capitalize. I kept waiting for UF to tire in the second half, but it never happened. UF's conference record was definitely not indicative of their talent level. Florida's experience seemed to be the difference tonight.
