Re: Vandy-Alabama A&M thread
CCL needs to get past the defensive mentality as HC. Twice we ran into run blitzes using the RPO. Pretty clear Swann does not have the green light to check out of run plays.

Re: question about the on-sides kickoff
Forget the game and team a few years ago but a call was made on the field on an onsides kick and later determined to be the correct call on a screwy rule. On that play a member of the kicking team was completely out of bounds and reached onto the field of play and downed the ball. The kicking team g...

Re: CWS Strike Zone
I've watched all 4 CWS games so far. The strike zone is certainly larger--especially wider but also higher--than the regular season and even thru the Supers (I watched a lot of those games too), but inconsistently so. Even my neophyte-baseball-fan girlfriend has commented on it. The umpire in the L...

Re: Dores 2023 MVP
We would not be in the discussion for a national seed without the contribution from Shrek. That said, EBJ imho is the team MVP. His defensive prowess is simply on another level

Re: In Corbs We Trust!
Very well said and am in full agreement. He's a topflight coach who built a top program from the ground up. He forgets more about baseball each morning before taking an early dump than most of his detractors ever learn about the game.

Re: Lost in all the talk of last night's game
Yep, looked very good last night and hope his control continues to improve. Definitely has some huge gonads dropping those low 70s floaters into the zone setting up the high heat.

Re: Christian Little
I don't get the hate sometimes. Little was not cracking the weekend rotation in a VU uniform this year, nor next year barring an injury to someone. He moved on and joined a team needing pitchers with hopes of showcasing his talent there. Can't blame him and wish him well unless playing against us.

Re: The Road has risen up to bite us…..
It's not us. It's everybody in the SEC. There are so many top programs in this conference, with tough venues to play in, that it has become near impossible to win on the road. Look at the results all season long, for all teams. LSU can struggle against a middling team at their place, while middling...

Re: Expectations from here
Our pitchers getting squeezed a bit and our hitters zones expanded a touch during conference play is nothing new, it happens every year. The main objective is keeping players in a positive mindset going into regionals where neutral umpires will be behind the plate.

Re: D1 Baseball sucks.
And what has Coastal Carolina done to remain in their Top 8 (National Seed material). CC split two games with Wake and are on top of a good (but clearly not SEC caliber) conference. Fourteen of the 17 teams ranked 9-25 have a better W-L record than Coastal. Warren Nolan's ELO rating has some great ...

They're still better than Perfect Game which dropped USC-e to 3 from 2, and jumped VU from 11 to 10 this week

Re: Does this mean the season is over?
It was a bad weekend on hostile territory where the home team has been dominant this year and had their backs against the wall after losing 4 straight games. Our guys have lost 4 in a row now also and how they respond this week will be a better indicator of how good they are as opposed to gauging by...

Re: a few positives from last night’s debacle
You nailed it with "Too many guy's trying to pull at all costs". Saw at least 25 swings last night where batters (both teams but mainly ours) had front hip open whiffing at low outside sliders and breaking balls. This strongly insinuates batters sitting dead red fastball on 0-1, 1-1, and 1...

Re: Vandy-South Carolina game 2 thread
Isn’t the ump in the outfield supposed to make a safe or out call on the catch? Did he? What did he call? On the quickly shown, fuzzy replay from LF to resume the telecast in bottom 6th, the 2nd & 3rd base umps didn't look to leave their spots or make a call on the fly ball. The 1st base ump ap...

The defensive adjustment of Austin to second, Diaz to third, and Vastine to short has really paid off.

Re: Ole Miss #3
OM pitcher throwing high zone slider on every 0-1 count and our batters have taken it every time. Gonna be a long day and short game if they keep sitting on 0-1 dead red fastball that isn't coming.
