I don’t recall an error, but it seems there was a soft fly with a man on first when Enrique didn’t get to the ball — or dropped it — but still got a force out a second base.

Also saw this on CBS Sports. Said he had "offers from Kentucky, Michigan State and more."

Also 16 SB in 54 high-A games.

I certainly was not rooting for Tennessee and was glad to see the play called as it was ... however, I didn't understand why Denton could not run to first base. TWO OUTS, Bases loaded. Denton swings and misses, the ball gets away from the catcher , and a runner from third crosses the plate. Doesn't ...

... in my humble opinion. They (the commentators on the SEC payroll) went to great lengths to tell us what great lengths they (the SEC) went to in crafting a perfect schedule. And they pointed out at least 14 times that every one of the current SEC schools will play either Oklahoma or Texas next sea...

I guess Aria forgot to mention the "who's coming" part of the article. There will be at least a couple VERY GOOD players. Corbin attracts talent much the same way as John Calipari in Men's Basketball: Players know the coach gives them a boost up to the Big Leagues. * Nearly 40 players in ...

Didn’t watch the show.

I thought your “tidbit” was going to be the name of our permanent opponent.

Also, 30% off sitewide on VU ATHLETICS GEAR (I don't know about shipping/handling costs); a SCAVENGER HUNT for locals; and a SEASON TICKET PACKAGE for two. The latter is great for someone who does not already have season tickets to Football and Men's Basketball. All the cheap seats, but you're in th...

Versus Vanderbilt: Tennessee ... 3-0 TCU ......... 1-0 Florida ..... 4-1 [/b] Indiana State (1-0 versus VU], Oregon (1-0) and Alabama (2-1) could have been in that group. The 'Dores were 40-8 against everyone else. [/size] I can see now why Kentucky (0-3), Texas (0-1) and South Carolina (1-2) did no...

I forgot about Miles Garrett. Aria said he didn’t play collegiate baseball in 2022 or 2023. He must have had good stuff to pitch in 9 games as a freshman.

No idea what happened after that.

… because despite the 42-20 W-L record and scoring 50% more runs than our opponents, Vanderbilt only won the home run derby 76-74.

Don’t include ME in that group.

The coaching staff has taken your advice and informed the conference office that Vanderbilt will decline to play in the 2024 SECT.

Guess they have identified the cities whose leadership is stupid enough to take on the financial obligation that inevitably goes with supporting pro sports.

Then Louisville must be on that list.

There's a conflict. ISU is hosting the Indiana Special Olympics this weekend.

Thanks for that, Auric.

It appears that Indiana State and all of the teams other than TCU that are hosting will be “Home” for Game 1 and “Away” for Game 2 of the Supers.

I see Bradfield and most of the draft-eligible pitchers being drafted and turning pro. That's a lot of pitchers, but we lose guys to the pros who barely broke the lineup in college. Doolin is not a redshirt freshman because you can't have 3 injury RS years (error by Aria), but he hasn't shown anythi...

Glad that Tennessee is going on the road. Southern Miss was a borderline host option Sorry to see that Indiana State does not get to host TCU in a Super. I understand that schools put in a bid to host Regionals and (potential) Super Regionals at the same time, but I suppose there could be a conflict...

Of Polk's 13 seasons, 7 teams would likely have made the NCAAT under the current format. Roy Skinner teams would have likely been selected 8 or 9 times in his ...

Meanwhile, on Vanderbilt App Radio, Kevin Ingram is into the seventh inning of the Super Regional with Jack Leiter on the mound -- for the third time. Still watching Indiana State - Iowa, there was a play that color commentator Danan Hughes clearly didn't understand. I fast reversed to the beginning...
