Hope we brought our bats tonight, because ... not a good start.

I believe sabermetrics these days largely say that bunts and stolen bases are rarely worth the risk (statistically). If you are bunting for a hit, go for it. If you are bunting to move the runners, advanced stats say that out is too valuable to give up ... though even a math guy like me understands ...

2 to go.

Like the DP!

Feel like getting a 7th (or 8th) run would be very good idea...

Ummm ... feeling like we maybe shold have left Roker in until his arm fell off all of a sudden...

This UofL-Auburn tilt is wrapping up much too quickly.

Circumstances will have me away from a TV from roughly 3pm to 4 pm central time ... I was really kind of hoping for our game to start as late as possible.

I hate those guys but seriously.... On what grounds can you be ejected for whistling?? This is ridiculous. But hey - I'm happy to be rid of them audibly. But I'm mad as hell that ESPN has this much power. You can be ejected for causing a disruption. This isn't someone who got warned and kicked out ...

I can't believe people are bothered watching the game on TV by the whistler. You can hardly hear it even with the volume turned up. You could probably here a bird outside your house singing much louder. I don't know what you are talking about. I hear a constant shrill noise. Repeated. Over and over...

This does not upset me, I hate to say.

There is an ESPN article gushing about Mike Trout. Here is a part of it that intersects slightly with VU: "In one high school showcase, players were paired up and timed, and Trout was matched against Anthony Gomez, another New Jersey product who would go on to play at Vanderbilt. A year later, ...

Banfield needs to come to VU. The Marlins are horrible and a horrible franchise to play for, and the slot value is only $894,600 . 'Only" and "$894,600" do not typically belong together in a sentence. I get your point, but knowing nothing about this kid or his family, I can see many ...

Clemson has used 6 pitchers. Every single one of them have given up 2 or more runs.

Not sure I've ever heard of something like that, even in blowouts.

I wonder when the last time that has happened - in NCAA or MLB!

David Price? Does he get bonus points for his post-season heroics as a rookie? Or for going on to win a Cy Young?

I know that is post-Vanderbilt, but David Price going on to win the Cy Young would sort of be the equivalent of Sharma going on to win a Grand Slam Title in the future, no?
