May have been initially, but that was before Clyde built the balconies!

Re: Maybe it's the bats...no, the actual "bats"

With every team now having a NCAA approved bat tester, a team can now "age" their composite bats up to the NCAA approved compression limits. Rather than the randomness of everyday use, the bats can now be mechanically aged over the complete barrel length, enlarging the sweet spot and tramp...

Re: Vandy-Xavier Thread

And that’s the way the season ends, not with a bang but a whimper. Losing to 2 mediocre teams. Go get some talent in the portal, coach. Or recruit your ass off. Of course you always need more talent, but this team's problem is coaching. Vandy needs a new pitching coach, hitting coach, and possibly ...

Re: Massive renovation of The Hawk announced!

Interesting! The covering over and behind the seating area appears to be some sort of glass or screen. Hope it is screen that also keep some of the sun and rain out.

Wonder if the RF building will contain a locker room for the visiting team and maybe restrooms for the outfield and 1st base stands.

Re: Strange???

I think of a guy like Kevin Kopps of Arkansas who was SEC Pitcher-of-the-Year in 2021 (National P-O-Y?). He pitched in 33 games with just one start (may have been a staff game; I don't know). Pitched 89 2/3 innings and registered 11 saves. He averaged nearly 3 innings per game. Kopps didn't just en...

Re: In my opinion, it wouldn't be the end of the World.............

I believe only Graysen Carter has not pitched this week, so anybody else that pitches will be on a limited pitch count. Carter has 13 appearances for a total of 28.2 innings. His longest stint was 5 innings against Lipscomb. Also remember this is the 5th game in the tournament for Vandy but the 6th ...

Re: Alabama SEC game

I found that very odd, too. Only thing I can figure is some kind of weird injury exception. But never heard of such, either. Because he was hit on the helmet, a concussion protocol must be performed. Since the game cannot be stopped while they do It, a temporary substitution is allowed. Pitcher sta...

At the link below is the Twitter Spaces show hosted by Aria Gerson, the Tennessean beat writer for Vandy. She hosts this almost every Monday night at 8pm during the baseball season, so I would think this will continue as long as the guys are still playing. No Twitter account needed using this link f...

Re: Commit Connor Cobb’s team DQ’d after no hitter

Here is the link to the TSSA baseball pitch count policy as of 20/21. In tournament play, the pitch count is a big deal. Guessing that the excitement of having a no-hitter going caused the coach to not keep on top of this. https://cms-files.tssaa.org/documents/tssaa/2020-21/baseball/Baseball-Pitch-C...

Re: Alan Espinal

I wish we had more quality bullpen depth. I'm afraid it will be our undoing in Hoover and/or Omaha. Or Tuscaloosa. We have enough pitching to win a regional at home plus a super. But Hoover or Omaha? Not. Too many games. Too many innings. Hoover is unimportant and at Omaha, games are every other da...

Re: Redshirt catcher Cade Law is transferring

But the important thing, with all that is happening in the world, is that it is "God's Plan" that he walk away from the Vanderbilt baseball team in the middle of the season to play football somewhere else. Oh my. The ego. He was redshirting, exams are almost over, so his season is basical...

No it is a VU but only those with tix to original game scheduled at First Tennessee can get in unless you buy a tix. Season Tix will not get you in the gate. 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: OT: UT

I understand that SEC has instituted a new rule this year requiring bats to be inspected/tested before each conference game. Could that be cause of Vols’ sudden lack of offense? The rule has been in place since 2020. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2019/7/22/protocols-for-in-season-bat-testing-in-place.a...

Most Monday's at 8pm she hosts a Twitter Spaces and talks mainly about Vanderbilt Baseball. Even though she is the Vandy beat writer, this is not related to the newspaper. Not sure if you need an account but she is a good follow on Twitter.
