I believe the phrase is: "Time wounds all heels."

SEC Commish is here but not the Big 10 according to local paper. ... might not want to show his face after being a major part of defeating the proposal to allow a third paid assistant for NCAA D1 College Baseball teams. The vote was 36-25-3 (I'm guessing 3 abstentions). "The Big Ten, as expect...

I’ve seen Stackhouse, Mason and James Franklin.
Has Malcolm Turner been on TV?
Stephanie White?

That was a different time. No seats down the sidelines, we just sat on the hillside with the fence along Jess Neely Drive behind us. We were close to the first baseman and in those days no one got on your case if you razzed the opposing players. Not that I would have said anything disrespectful.... ...

I listened to Joe from the Vanderbilt app with the TV muted or on the alternate (non-announcer) channel and Joe was usually about 45 seconds ahead and that would cause some confusion. But then someone in another thread suggested getting audio from vucommodores.com. You are able to pause the audio an...

Several years ago, Vandy was behind UT 8-5, bottom of the ninth.... The Worth Scott game WAS the last game of the regular season and it sent Vanderbilt to Hoover for a quick 2-and-out, but the score of that game was 6-5 and Scott's homer was of the two-run variety. Thus, I thought you were talking ...

We've used pitchers frequently in relief on short rest. Most of you remember the last time Vanderbilt played Michigan in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. As far as starters, I don't think pitching on the fifth day after throwing 102 pitches is much of a stretch. During the season we often started a guy...

Vandy is reportedly the home team (3rd base dugout) for game 1, and game 3 if necessary. It seems that in the past a coin flip determined the Home team for Game 1, the teams swapped for Game 2, and then another coin flip determined Home for Game 3 (if necessary). Don’t know that Game 1 Home is nece...

I don’t want the championship series to go three games, but if it does do we give Mason the start on his fifth day? Neither Small (if MSU won Thursday) or Detmers was going to pitch yesterday (on their fifth day), but their teams needed to win Friday AND Saturday. If our Michigan series extends to W...

I would bunt 1st and 2nd nobody out, especially with a high-K guy like Infante at the plate. But I would not bunt 1st base nobody out unless the fielder is so far back that we attempt to bunt for a hit. Louisville last night had its Designated Runner (14 SB only 58 AB) on first with nobody out and b...

Erik Bakich is right there ... and ripe for the pickings.

... "This is who they are, a stolen base machine." Well, he's not looking beyond the "season" stats. True, Louisville has 7 players with at least 8 SB on the season and 106 (in 132 attempts) all season. Also true: 9 of the SB (9 attempts) were in one game versus Morehead State 7 ...

Eduardo Perez: "I'll just say one last thing about Mike Martin."

Is there a prop bet out there on whether or not E.P. will mention coach Martin again sometime before the end of the CWS? I'm betting there is at least "one more last thing."

I'm not a lawyer either, but I can assure you that just about anybody (if not EVERYBODY) can sue just about anybody for just about anything. Winning the case is another matter. If Preacher paid enough money to your 3 lawyers and 4 paralegals or whoever it is down the hall, they would likely take the...

Any one of our bullpen guys can mow down an opponent 1-2-3, but they can also have an off day and walk three straight batters.

We have enough of them, I say have another guy ready and if the first reliever puts two men on base pull him before he can make it three.

Look at how the field is marked with giant Vs for Vanderbilt . Or if you look at it another way, it could mean the IV that Mississippi State needed. Here's another: The Louisville center fielder left a dent in the outfield wall trying to catch an Auburn home run. Cards still won the game. http://www...

4. Can we expect that ESPN will stop gushing over Mike Martin now that his team is out of the CWS?

After Florida State LOST to Texas Tech, the video crew rushed to interview losing coach Martin. Meanwhile, the Tech coach was thinking: "What am I, chopped liver?"

I believe that ALL 19 of Kumar's strikeouts against Duke were swinging. A Vanderbilt staffer in the stands that night (the one who handed out signs/player photos for fans to display) said that the folks on the bridge with the "K" signs had plenty "K"s if a few of the strikeouts w...

Perhaps next time Mangum's dad will talk to the ESPN interviewer.

... as I realized there are TWO options. I logged onto the watchespn app with my phone, selected Baseball , then selected the Louisville-Auburn game. Initially, there was only one option which is what I have: Various camera angles, no replay except for the challenged play, crowd noises, stadium p.a....
