65 pitches in less than 2 innings.

Far mare balls than strikes. Pretty much a disastrous outing. Again, fielding was terrible. But 6 walks & 1 HBP in less than 2 innings speaks for itself.

I'm an optimistic, upbeat, glass-half-full kinda guy. However, I just have a sense of hopelessness about this team. I see no signs of anyone picking this team up and putting it on his shoulders, no force of will to change fortunes. Over the last few weeks, this team plays defeated, expecting to lose. Sad.

Who on here thinks we have any chance tonight? This team looks dead.

I have “hope” that Owen will do that.

But not any time soon.

This team needs one start from someone.

I hope you're right, but my gut tells me Holton and Owen are done for the season. Weird, unexplained injuries/fatigue don't just get better. I have a horrible feeling that Vandy doesn't win another game this season. I hope I'm wrong. I really hope they figure a way out of this funk, but they are playing as if they don't have a clue what to do.

I am a big believer in our coach.

With that said, he needs to do “something” new - because what he has been doing the last three weeks has not worked. I expect some type of batting order shake-up tomorrow.

I might add, this is the type of performance that loosens up Arkansas and tightens up us. And tonight, he handled Reilly poorly, plain and simple.

National seed? Now that’s funny

Attababy Noland. First run is the toughest.

Now let’s goooo!!!!!!

Too much bass on the new sound system. They are killing me in the outfield.

CTC does seem to be showing a bit of a stubborn streak lately.

There's always the blind squirrel finding an acorn kind of hope.

Is it coincidence or not, that the new digital images of the Titanic were released today?

I trust Corbs as well, but I have little-to-no confidence in Baxter or Brown. Neither seems to do anything to improve individual or team performance. EBjr, for instance, a tailor made slash and gap hitter, still swings with an uppercut. For 2 full seasons now. Why? There is none, zero, no situational hitting with this team. With the possible exception of Vastine, every guy, every swing is the same, and the basic swing is to lift the ball. I realize that is the path to pro ball, but it doesn't make for good college baseball hitting. It ruined Carter Young last year. And which pitcher has become a better pitcher under Brown? Velocity and spin rate are his mantra, but changing speed and location never seem to enter the mind of Vanderbilt pitching. Why? And he seems to have no answer for pitchers who are struggling. But Corbs stubbornly sticks with these guys.

[vu2003rpl]

The stubbornness also goes to position players that can’t hit the ball. What’s the worst that happens if you go to a back up? They can’t hit worse. Are they really that bad defensively?

I assume we still don’t have a true hitting coach? It is a recruiting coordinator, right?

That last AB is how EBjr should swing everytime, drive the ball on a line vice lift it. Why isn't he coached to swing that way everytime. I read an MLB scouting report on him a couple weeks ago (sorry, I don't recall where on line) that said whichever team drafts him, their first task is to fix his badly broken swing, what we've been saying on this board since last season. Why don't Corbs & Baxter see that?

You don't know how many times I have thought of this scene this season with Bradfield hitting fly balls.
