Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
Do the DLU-Belmont-APSU-Tech, etc. coaches just appreciate being invited to play a highly ranked DI team? Odds are they will lose, and very possibly lose badly. Or is it personal: that Corbin is just so well liked and thought of? I truly don't know the answer, if there is one.

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
I suspect the answer is, all of the above. Corbin has relationships with all these guys, and it's great experience for the players. It's cheap, too (the cost of a bus ride and no overnight expenses), and they occasionally do win.Go Vandy! wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 4:24 pm Do the DLU-Belmont-APSU-Tech, etc. coaches just appreciate being invited to play a highly ranked DI team?

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
We lost to Lipscomb once and Belmont twice in 2015, a year that ended with Vanderbilt finishing #2 to Virginia in the College World Series.AuricGoldfinger wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 5:53 pmI suspect the answer is, all of the above.

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
I think there was a four-week stretch in 2018 when Vandy lost midweek games to EKU, Lipscomb, Belmont, and MTSU.nyyankeeDore wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 6:27 pmWe lost to Lipscomb once and Belmont twice in 2015, a year that ended with Vanderbilt finishing #2 to Virginia in the College World Series.AuricGoldfinger wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 5:53 pmI suspect the answer is, all of the above.

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
A ticket bought at the Horizon Park will only get you a ticket exchange for another Sounds game. It will not be honored by Vanderbilt tonight.

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
Vandy loaded bases twice in 1st with 1 out. Score only 1 run. Coulda, shoulda been more.
Cunningham started, very strong 1st inning.
Carter in to pitch the 2nd, trouble consistently throwing strikes, has walked 2 of first 3 hitters. Sigh...

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
Nice catch by EBjr on a soft, short fly to right-center and pop to Diaz at 3rd and Carter gets out of trouble. 1-0 Vandy to bottom 2.

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
Left another in scoring position - thus is frusrating got to scirecwhen we have ample chances.
Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
Carter out for his 3rd inning (after Cunningham pitched the 1st). Much better in 3rd, 3-up-3-down, and Ks first 2 guys in 4th with a fastballs on the black and gets 3rd out on soft grou der to 1st. Hasn't been sharp, but thrown strikes when he's needed to.
Meanwhile, Vandy offense leaves a couple more on base in the 3rd, still 1-0 Vandy.

Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
Yes. Doubly frustrating after pounding the ball and moving runners like they did over the last 7 games.charlestonalum wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:55 pm Left another in scoring position - thus is frusrating got to scirecwhen we have ample chances.
Re: Lipscomb Tuesday
Espy bomb!! Why does anyone ever throw him a fastball? Even Wiseman on the telecast was asking that. 3-0 Vandy now.
