Re: Yaz just homered vs. LA Dodgers

speaking of torrid starts, Bryan Reynolds is tearing it up for Pittsburgh. Had a three run go ahead HR last night. Batting a respectable (lol) .362 for the year. Unfortunately they are both on struggling teams. And struggling teams sometimes have fire sales when even a wild card becomes unrealistic...

Re: 3 observations

Don't judge their entire fan base off the actions of a few. Most Mississippi State folks will give you the shirt off their backs. I talked to one in Hoover and he was very nice. He had MSU stuff on but told me he had sent his son to Vanderbilt's baseball camp. Sure enough a short time later this li...

Re: Corbin & Raby

In all fairness, Raby won a school record 31 games and had a good statistical year. I do agree that he has been largely ineffective for the past month and shouldn't be used again. I'd go to Ethan Smith before Raby if we're looking for multiple innings from a bullpen righty to get to Brown. Ethan Sm...

Re: "Vandy whistler says he was told to stop whistling or be ejected"

I only noticed it during the 4th inning. That's an improvement.

And by the way, we still won with almost no whistling. That proves it CAN be done.

Re: Who would you rather play....

The one that uses up it’s pitching staff to win tomorrow. Miss. State used 6 pitchers today. Unless Ethan whats-his-name can pitch a 9 inning complete game vs Louisville, State will be running out of arms. Our guys will use what is left of the Miss.St. pitchers for batting practice if we play them....

Re: VU fielding

This is one of those cases where the numbers, which are excellent, don't necessarily tell the story. Paul had a great year, but Kaiser was perhaps the best we have ever had at SS. Ray was jumping on balls like they were grenades early in the year, but he has developed a bit more of a natural rhythm...

Re: There's a long thread on the MSU board re whistler

I don't like these guys at all but I see no reason they should be ejected. How about a compromise? They don't whistle and they don't get ejected.

As a person who had no living grandparents and very few aunts and uncles growing up due to actual real nazis, I have to object to the term "nazi" being trivialized by misguided people posting in this thread. Other than that, I fully support the whistler(s) being banned from the stadium. ht...

Re: Vandy will play Mississippi State on Tuesday at 6 pm CT

I like that Auburn coach. Really nice guy but I think that he may have had a Bryce Drew effect on his team. A t.v. reporter asked the Auburn baseball coach why they lost and he said it was because he needed to get Barry Booker another year of eligibility and couldn't get it. That would be a Coach D...

Re: They just said Ethan Small...

I’m just glad Small won’t be pitching on Tuesday... Is it true he only threw 21 pitches in 5 innings vs Auburn? Are we sure he won't be able to pitch tomorrow? Boxscore says 102 pitches for Small last night. Plumlee to start tomorrow. Lefty? Why not Ginn? The boxscore I saw was obviously wrong. 21 ...

Re: Time to wack that dead horse! The Whistler has ended

If I saw the newspaper article correctly today, the much more annoying of the two annoying whistlers won't make it to Omaha until close to the end of the tournament.

Did the 8-track tape player in his van break or something?

Re: A huge win

And next season Austin Martin will bat .475 with 90 RBIs and the golden spikes award will go to some catcher from Wyoming Tech who plays in the Mountain Sky Sun West conference. Whatever.

(no, this is not a dig against the 2nd baseman at New Mexico State, who is indeed a great player)

Re: A huge win

Detmers is one of the best pitchers in Omaha and we just beat him.

I'd call that a good start.
