Dansby's having a good night!!! 7-31-21

Dansby just hit his second homer of the game tonight, this one a grand slam. He is three for four on the night with seven RBI's. Braves are beating Milwaukee 8-1 in the bottom of the seventh. Dansby's 20 home runs so far this season may be some sort of milestone for a Braves shortstop, if I am remem...

Re: Never in all my years of fandom...

Sorry to bother you again, Brent, but your note has me excited about the (long term) future of Vandy football. Thanks for the answer about the transfer portal, which makes sense to me. Now, about Coach Minter being "a little more subdued" than Coach Raih. lt sounds as if 99.9 percent of th...

Re: Never in all my years of fandom...

Great overview. Thank you very much.

Was there any discussion of the transfer portal and the staff's utilization of it?

Brent - Anytime you post, I read. Over the years, your involvement has been a highlight of Vandymania. Thank you for loving Vanderbilt athletics.

Re: Kumar and the Mets

I certainly hope it all works out for Kumar and for the Mets and that the deal gets done. I cannot imagine Kumar coming back to Vandy to compete with the baseball team next year under any circumstances. If he doesn't sign, I imagine he'll work with personal trainers and pitching coaches to focus sol...

Re: Some fascinating reading about James Franklin's time at Vandy, from some names we all remember

I was all in with James Franklin. I hung on his every word and thought he was the best thing that ever happened to Vanderbilt football. When he had the team, player-by-player, place their individual carbineer to create a chain, I may have shed a tear to two. He got me to go to a few games. I really ...

Apparently, three Vandy players are on the roster and playing for the Johnson City (Tennessee) Doughboys in a first-year wooden bat league for developing college players. Johnson City is 13 and 24, 11-1/2 games out of first place after last nights win over the Kingsport (Tennessee) Road Warriors (an...

Re: CJ Rodriguez confirms he's signing with the A's

I had the pleasure of attending Vanderbilt's first two games in Omaha. We had seats a few rows behind the Vandy dugout. Those were the first two Vandy baseball games I ever remember attending. As a 64-year-old life-long fan, it was an incredible experience. While there were many take-aways, one was ...

Re: What will next year look like?

In the last 10 years that the College World Series has been held, Vandy has appeared in five, including four championship series, and two championships. That is amazing and such a credit to Coach Corbin. That success makes you believe a 2020 appearance might have been possible, too. Looking quickly ...
