Re: Shakeup in Batting Order Needed

What we need is a new hitting coach. Baxter is not getting it done. The team as a whole consistently takes the first pitch. Other teams are picking up on this and dropping fat curves in for strike one. UT did that all weekend. We should just tell the ump to go ahead and spot them strike one when we ...

It's a great view. Watched a few Sounds game from that deck last year. It's called Third and Home.

Re: Starter vs Central Arkansas

I wish the Keegan at catcher was just an experiment and not the actual answer. I do realize we've been spoiled by excellent catchers over the past several years and we were left empty handed with the draft and transfer. I'm really concerned that catching is going to be our Achilles heel this year. T...

Re: Single Game tickets on sale - get them NOW!

Single game tickets are now available. Evidently the 11 time was wrong. Just got tickets to several games on Ticketmaster. Only outfield seats available. Appeared that almost all games had tickets.

Re: VU to require proof of vaccination or negative COVID test for hoops games

Went to a show at the Ryman that required vaccine status. It was not a big deal at all. Had a separate area for the line to go through first to take care of COVID status, gave you a wristband, then into the venue to show tickets. It was not a burden at all and made the show much more enjoyable knowi...

Re: Pitching lineup and our strategy?

I have only watched a few innings of AZ play against Ole Miss this year but I have traveled to Tucson a few times. From what I saw in those innings, the AZ folks can hit and make solid contact. However, I think the stats are a bit inflated and comparing their park to TD in Omaha is not comparable. A...

Drove down West End last weekend and construction is well underway. They have closed off 24th Ave south from West End due to construction.

Re: Game #3 in Future Series

I wish we could go with Fisher as the game 3 starter. Back to back super strong right handers and then throw in a long lanky lefty. I assume they are taking it pretty easy with Fisher as he builds back stamina and strength. When he's on and can get in the zone, he's pretty unhittable with that slide...

Re: Real Season starts this Week

Agree. This team really needs to find some consistency on offense. They struggled against UIC on Sat. and Sun. with too many baserunning (pickoffs) mistakes. While Rocker and Leiter are putting up big strike out numbers, they have struggled with command at times. Better teams will force them to thro...

Re: Attendance suggestion?

While I'm disappointed I won't get to be at games in person, I will watch them all online as they are available. I doubt I would have felt comfortable attending anyway without getting the vaccine yet. However, I'll give this a slightly different spin. The teams that stay the healthiest and get in th...

TV/ESPN+?

Can't wait for baseball season. In the past, I've watched tons of Vandy baseball on ESPN3 streaming through Apple TV. Does anyone have a handle on what the new SEC/ESPN contract means for viewing going forward. When it was announced, I got the impression that the world of ESPN3 SEC baseball might be...

Re: Ethan Paul announces on Instagram that he's returning

Or we have freshmen that are better than returners and competition rules. EP was pretty good defensively but struck out way too much. Had a great moment in the Supers with the bottom of the 9th hr but wasn't nearly consistent enough with the bat for a second baseman. Needs to put the ball in play mo...

Re: Corbin pushing all the wrong buttons

It really seems like Corbs has changed a lot of his offensive coaching philosophy as the college game changed with updates to bats and balls. In the successful Omaha years, the ball was dead and home runs were rare. The Vanderbilt teams were masterful at small ball. Leadoff man gets on first, next g...

Re: VIDEO: Sophomore Justin Wilson pitching on Sunday

Can anyone put this clip in some context? Am I excited for Justin Wilson because he struck out two but walked one in that clip or am I concerned that two guys struck out? Hitting, especially too many strike outs and not enough getting the ball in play, is what plagued last years team. I am really ho...
