Re: Dangerous midweek matchup tonight
Have to wonder if they were ready to play. When we had bases loaded and 1 out and got 0 runs - handwriting on the wall: not interested in this game.

You don't win the championship in Mid April. This team is off to a great start. I'd rather peak at the end of the season and let's get everyone healthy.

Agreed: and we have some guys who we will have to depend on - at least 3 pitchers.Vandy187187 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 7:54 pm You don't win the championship in Mid April. This team is off to a great start. I'd rather peak at the end of the season and let's get everyone healthy.

...or not.
I suspect Corbs will get his squad's attention before heading east after that lethargic performance.

Re: Dangerous midweek matchup tonight
Baseball is full of statistics and adages. An adage that comes to mind after tonight's game relates to inevitable poor hitting performances and poor pitching performances. When they happen, it is better that they be combined in a single game so they cause one loss instead of two.

No matter how you couch this game, it is an EMBARRASSING loss and Corbs needs to read them the riot act.
They were clearly not prepared to play this team tonight.

If your team is going to lose a game and you had a choice of outcomes: Would you rather lose to a 23-12 team on an 11-game winning streak or to a previously 10-24 team?

Re: Dangerous midweek matchup tonight
That loss may have been a blessing in disguise. I will take the mid-week thumping if it fires up Corbs the Vandy Boys heading to Knoxville this week. Let's not just go to Knoxville and win. Let's go to Knoxville and dominate...bring out the bats, the brooms, and the whistler. Time to take back the state of TN and remind the Vawls that when it comes to baseball and the state of TN, the Vandy Boys are #1. This is our state.

We better go there expecting a real battle because that is what we are headed into - 3 days long.

Re: Dangerous midweek matchup tonight
My concern is that our game #1 and game #2 pitchers are both rusty, if they’re even available! I hope we get performances from Riley and Ginther like we did last week.

Re: Dangerous midweek matchup tonight
Yep. God only knows who's pitching games 1 and 2. God and CTC. Doesn't elicit a warm and fuzzy. Particularly in a hostile environment.
