it wasn't only the pitchers who failed at clutch time: top of 9th bases loaded game tied with 1 out and we can't get the potentially winning runs in - let's share the futility a little. True, and it was the top of the order that failed to deliver. However, big picture, 7 runs should be enough to wi...

The only two pitchers on the entire staff that I trust are Raby and Brown. All the rest are shaky at times. And even Brown gets hit hard at times. His redeeming quality is that he doesn't walk people.

Has anyone noticed we're No. 1 in the nation?

You're right about the pitching, but our hitting is quite a bit better than in 2014. We're hitting .336 so far. Of course, that's almost surely going to go down in SEC play, so we'll have to wait and see, but for reference, we hit .278 in '14

I was assuming he (Rocker) was going to start on Wednesday. No?

I guess it makes some sense, but I just tend to think you go with the lower ERA guy in the Friday slot. Of course, I realize I'm disagreeing with the best coach in college baseball, so I'll admit that I'm probably wrong. Why is it that our starters seem to last around 4-6 innings at the most before ...

Should any thought be given to moving Raby to Friday and Fellows to Saturday? I know Corbs hates to adjust the rotation like that, but Raby has consistently had the lower ERA. Even last year, which was considered a bad year for him. Fellows has proven he's an SEC starter, but not an "ace" ...

I think this is the updated USA Today poll:

Cable listings for MLB Network only show the Friday game, not the Saturday or Sunday games.

Which poll is that?

Here's what I'm reading: Four SEC teams in the New Year’s Six would mean that Vanderbilt would fall into the Pool of Six bowl games — those are Belk, Gator, Liberty, Music City, Outback, and Texas. I guess it's possible in theory, but the Gator has never taken us before when they had the chance, so...

Hmm, I didn't know the Gator was a realistic option. I would take that. Warm(er) weather trumps the other bowls by a lot.

I don't really care very much, but I think getting to travel for a bowl is more interesting than staying home for both the team and the fans. So I would eliminate Music City. then I would eliminate both the Independence and Birmingham for crappiness. Which leaves Belk or Liberty. Between the two, we...

I didn't look at the box scores, but I heard Rocker pitched 3 innings and had 8 strikeouts, no hits (I think), and 1 walk. Not sure which game that was in. Anyway, I'm 100% sure he pitched.
