IMHO, (James K.) Polk is the MVP of this game.

Whistler exultant with win today!

... who supposedly was suspended for 4 games got dinged worse because he was a starting pitcher who only pitches once per week. Or it could be that the announcers don't know what they are talking about like those who say a batter "flew out" rather than "flied out" or "hit a ...

The movie Blue Chips comes to mind. Sam Gilbert was an American businessman who owned a construction company in Los Angeles, California. He is best known as a controversial athletic booster of the UCLA Bruins men's basketball team from the mid-1960s until UCLA was ordered to disassociate. I noticed...

No longer a Lawrence fan....may he ride the bench at Auburn!!

Home run today.

CJS to Bruce…” My friends in the G league just raised you…ante up or fold.”

Crap. Was foul. They should have challenged that. Glad they didn't. Diaz' ball was fair. It hit the ground between home and 3rd base, so at that point it's where it crosses the bag. If inside or over the base, then it's fair; the LF line beyond 3rd base is irrelevant. 3rd base umpire was perfectly ...

A. Rules are there for a purpose; they are not made to be broken. B. If you let 121 pitches go, then why not 121 or 122? C. The article said that the rule initially allowed a pitcher to finish with a batter when the pitch count reached 120, but that was changed a couple years later. D. The coaches k...

Me too. Altho it takes months off my life expectancy.

Eh. I guess. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at VU. Did pretty well re: accrued debt, relatively speaking. I’ve been a public school teacher my entire career (midpoint right now). I could make more money doing many other things, even within the education sector. I’m where I am becau...

Dude. Give it a rest. You’re being very undude.

We can win slugfests, but we need discipline. We just beat Louisville 12-8 on the road. The issue is: our leadoff guys need to work counts (especially if the strike zone is a thimble) not hack at the first pitch. With two strikes we need to choke up, go for contact, and go with pitches instead of pu...

Where do you get these guys? Did they really pitch in high school?

and extra batting coaches ?

Read the above linked articles with interest; thanks for posting. Larry Munson’s time at Vanderbilt predated mine, so I’m in no position to compare him to Paul Eels. However, rankings that would place John Ward ahead of Eels are suspect (at best) in my view. I had the same debate with my UT-loving c...

Honestly, this is hard to take. This school and staff has put a lot into Tyrin, and he treats us this way? Free education at a top 20 university for one. Lots of hours working with him to develop his skills. Got him a lot of air time and plenty of promotional work by the Vandy marketing department. ...

Who's Tyrin?

Ump not making it any easier. Schultz struck him out - called a ball. Watch the replay, Vastine in disbelief at the terrible call.

I'm not mad, but if I know what the problem is, I will be more patient.

Thanks

I’m going to stop paying for Vandymania in protest.

You make it seem as though Don is doing this on purpose. Cut him some slack. If he had hair he would be tearing it out.
