Isn’t the ump in the outfield supposed to make a safe or out call on the catch? Did he? What did he call? On the quickly shown, fuzzy replay from LF to resume the telecast in bottom 6th, the 2nd & 3rd base umps didn't look to leave their spots or make a call on the fly ball. The 1st base ump ap...

Baseball is full of statistics and adages. An adage that comes to mind after tonight's game relates to inevitable poor hitting performances and poor pitching performances. When they happen, it is better that they be combined in a single game so they cause one loss instead of two.

Only a week ago, VU beat #6 South Carolina, solidifying its number 4 ranking. Since that time they've lost 4 games, 3 of them in humiliating fashion, and all of them to teams that were unranked at the time. (I'm making the brave assumption that they won't overcome the 9-0 deficit.) I don't think I'...

You have removed any fig leaf of doubt regarding your fandom. Congratulations on your team's three wins this weekend.

Florida is the team to be worried about, not sc…imo I believe Vanderbilt's goal should be to win as many of the remaining games as possible and finish the pre-NCAA tournament portion of the season in the top 8 nationally. Teams to be "worried about" are the teams that can play the biggest...

You are correct. I was looking at the SEC sit which, for some damn reason, gives times in the eastern time zone.

When you live in flyover county, you have to learn to interpret.

The early evidence indicates that last night's 8h inning was as positive a pivot for the VandyBoys as the the 9th inning of game 1 in Knoxville was negative. I hope it stays that way for the next four or five weeks.

I see a path to Omaha, but playing some other league champions. Seeded # 6 overall. RPIs VandyBoys 7 Oregon 34 Xavier 44 EIU 114 and around the corner... DBU16 Okie State 17 Washington 36 ORU 76 SEC network show "road to Omaha" consensus is that of top 6 seeds, VU has the hardest games. W...

All the more reason to listen to Andrew Allegretta's radio broadcast.
In some respects baseball games (if you cannot attend them in person) are paired better with radio than television.

It is possible (theoretically at least) that the player's support and endorsement of the charity could bring in enough additional donations to justify his compensation. The test is supposed to be that the money paid to the athlete is "reasonable compensation" paid by the business or charit...

Anyone remember what the line was before last years game? From a CBS article: "Vanderbilt will be looking to open the 2022 season on a positive note when it faces Hawaii on the road on Saturday night in the Week 0 nightcap. The Commodores finished 2-10 under head coach Clark Lea last year, whi...

If the runner on first is forced out at second base, yes.

"Don't make me come back there..."

Deliberately and repetitively antagonizing message board participants, even without "name-calling," should also be discouraged.

We have, at least for this game , no rushing offense, a QB that can't escape the rush, an OL that had a hard time blocking anyone, and coaches that didn't seem to be very involved in the game. I do not understand the assertion that VU's coaches "didn't seem to be very involved in the game.&quo...

Hard to be negative continuously, but some some people accomplish it.

I want McGowan to succeed, but I hope there is only one Alabama A & M kickoff.
