After doing some painting, catching up on correspondence, and watching a recorded TV show, I'm flipping through other NCAA games on ESPN+. In the Iowa-Indiana State game, Iowa let ISU back into the game with its seventh hit batter of the game. The latest, with the bases loaded, was reviewed and uphe...

Meantime, on the Vanderbilt App audio I’m hearing Game 2 of the 2021 Super Regional clincher versus East Carolina … for the second time today and third time late this season.

Can’t they find some other audio?

Going on 2 hours. Must be a new lightning strike every 29 minutes.

Hoping the Xavier closer is taken down and the new guy is wild. During the delay, get our batters some Barry Bonds elbow pads.

Paul Skenes tossed 120 pitches yesterday.

Hard to believe that a starting pitcher who is National Player of the Year had not previously pitched a 9-inning complete game.

Given multiple options with the ESPN app, I prefer ESPN+ to ESPN, ESPNU, ESPN2 because — even if I switch to a new game— I can rewind, pause, etc.

Thanks, Pete. I see other examples as well. In games such as VU versus Oregon between two teams that had been “Home” in their only game, a coin flip decided which is the Home team today. Most of those who replied to Kendall Rogers’ January tweet saying: “Finally” or “The right thing to do” were like...

Thank Aria for me for that list. Good to know that Arias (no relation) is on the active roster. If Davis had to leave the game yesterday, he might have gotten into the game at 3B or 2B (move Austin). Would have liked to see more guys playing different positions in the midweek games, including Maldo ...

Since there is apparently a roster limit and a set roster provided to NCAA game officials, that should be available to us online. However, the VU “Game Notes” roster includes the entire team and the link to Vanderbilt’s roster on the Nashville Regional page takes you to the full roster on vucommodor...

The announcers didn't SAY they are not personally at Hawkins Field, but the Ole Miss memorabilia behind Dellucci kinda gives it away. https://i.ibb.co/BV0v1q4/NCAA-Nashville-Regional-announcers-2023.jpg ESPN must spend a small fortune on equipment trucks, production personnel, etc. Another couple th...

I mentioned Brant Alazaus of Xavier. He was just taken out in the seventh inning after 110 pitches. Oregon has used at least 4 pitchers.

Oregon has more depth; I’m rooting for Xavier.

Maybe it will be better.

They get too chummy while sitting in the booth together. Put a guest in there as well and the announcers tend to forget about the game.

Doesn’t make sense to decide on post-2024 scheduling until later. At LEAST settle on the format for four years in order that the league round-robin be completed.

The issue is with Sections E and F which are the ones seen on TV with every pitch. Those are protected throughout the game; the others are not. You just have to be ready to move when someone comes along and says, “That’s my seat.” If I get to game late and someone is in MY seat, I usually just find ...

I guess I’ve forgotten my conversions in the last 50 years.

Need to dig out the ol’ slide rule and abacus.

If Grant Nelson of North Dakota State (6-10 / 2 yrs eligibility / 17.9 ppg / 9.3 rebounds per game / 1.7 blocks per game) wants to become a Commodore, we can just slot Tyrin in as a preferred walk-on and see if Opportunity Vanderbilt can foot the bill.

Wonder if the RF building will contain … restrooms for the outfield and 1st base stands.

No. My understanding is that you will still have to go into Memorial to take a pee.

It says she is 170 cm tall, about 6-5. Does that sound about right?

And there is a link for more información.

Sometimes they have different skills.

This guy seems to be automatic on extra points and perhaps short field goals.

We may go to another for long field goals and the third could be better at kickoffs.

No divisions but probably still a championship game between the top 2 teams

We will see for certain whether a change has been effected when pairings (Home/Away status) for the Saturday Regionals (game 2) are set. After reading this article from a year ago (linked below), I e-mailed author Collin Sherwin of dknation.draftkings.com with my comments and included a link to the ...
