Vandy moves up a spot in D1

Post by HarpoMarx »

With #2 Stanford losing 3 out 4 this week, they drop to 9th. #2 thru #9 all move up one spot. That means we go from #7 to #6. If we could string 2 hits together, we might be pretty good. But, we are not a good hitting team. Don't look at our team offensive stats and compare it to other SEC teams. Just don't do it.

Maybe we are spoiled. Look at our SOS compared to all of the other SEC teams. EBJ getting it going. We will go nowhere without him on base. I think that we have to live or die with Hewitt... and believe it or not maybe LeNeve. They have both mashed somewhat in the past. At this point, why not?

I think we are over-rated, and it will become obvious when we start playing SEC schools.

This team is going to have a hard time because we are loaded with 18 and 19 year olds in a league with 22 and 23 year olds. About two more years of this an we will be at the bottom four in this league an Corbin will retire leaving some poor guy with a mess.

Soooo…is it possible the offensive numbers relative to the rest of the SEC so far have a little something to do with the disparity in the SOS? (See the post of Aria’s tweet with VU at #40 and the rest of the league nowhere close.)
So far so good two games into conference play (knock on wood).

Through three SEC games (one of which was cut short due to excess scoring) the VandyBoys are averaging 9.0 runs per game and are hitting .346 (36 for 104).

And, DWFlare, the guys must have grown up or Corbin somehow learned how to coach them. Good start to SEC.

Hope we struggle in the next 9 series like we did this one.

Any 22- or 23-year-old college baseball player can’t be that good. The best ones turn pro after 2 or 3 years of college, depending on their age.

We better move up more than one spot after sweeping Ole Miss. Unless Joe Lunardo and Jerry Palm are in charge of baseball rankings. Then nothing will make us move up. Their reasoning?

But-but-but...Central Arkansas.

Of course I am encouraged. The number of runs we scored in the first game is more than I thought we'd score in the entire series. But 3 games is a small sample size. We'll see. As I said, I am encouraged. I was pleasantly surprised by the good pitching (Hunter Owen, just wow -- who saw that coming?), totally shocked by the good hitting.

Just messing with you. I, too, have been both critical and had no clue this is what was about to happen. Let's just hope this is the new norm.

#1 LSU lost one, #2 uut lost all three to a non #25 team (HAHAHAHAH!), #3 Old Miss lost all three to #6 Vandy, #4 Wake lost one, #5 Florida lost one to #24 Arkansas. I see a major up sweep in our #6 ranking.

For the week:
LSU 3-1
Ewetee 1-3
Ole Mess 0-4
Wake Forrest 3-1
Florida 3-1
Vanderbilt 4-0

We should move up at least two spots.
