Re: Louisville
Good night, Irene.
2-0 fastball right down the middle sent into orbit and we are being spanked. 6-1 UL.
Hope Corbs turns this into a message. The schedule gets better after today.

Re: Louisville
I'm outta here. Maybe, MAYBE we can beat the Tide. I think they are worse than us. I realize it's what happens later in the year that matters. But aren't we supposed to be getting better? Ain't happening.
Re: Louisville
I'm watching to the end, but not often in the Corbs era that I felt VU was done in the 5th inning. Need to catch some lightning soon.

Re: Louisville
Little’s stuff was encouraging today.
Mistakes were kind of mental. Balk. Falling behind and grooving. Pick-off throw into centerfield. Deserved better. But threw three real good innings and had off-speed working with 95 mph fastball. I’d say it would help his confidence - but leaving him in to absorb 6 runs might counteract that idea.

Re: Louisville
If my memory bank serves me correctly, Corbs has a long history of leaving pitchers in a little too long. The postseason history can't be argued with, but it seems he could channel some inner Sparky Anderson "Captain Hook" more often.roanoke wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 4:41 pm Little’s stuff was encouraging today.

Re: Louisville
Keegs & Young each gave the ball a ride, but Cards outfielders made a pair of nice catches for long, loud outs. Sigh...

Re: Louisville
Something is amiss with team. Chemistry, leadership, youth, press clippings - who knows, but not typical Vanderbilt baseball under Corbin. Hope it is correctable.
Re: Louisville
Donye Evans to start the 8th. 3rd pitch lasered over LF fence. That ball got out in about 1.3 seconds. Wow!
Owen's in to pitch.

Re: Louisville
I’ll repeat - I am not that worried about the team. It was Finals Week last week - and we are @ Louisville after @ Florida after MSU after @ Tennessee.
Tough, tough schedule. We do need for Leiter to re-find his confidence. Corbs is clearly trying to find pitchers to tough out 5 innings... I think he will find several. I am wondering where Fisher is? Maldonado is solid. Reilly, Murphy, McIlvane, Schultz - plenty of guys to rise for the post-season.
We still have Rocker and Leiter.

Re: Louisville
Adversity is a hell of a tough teacher, let's hope they learn. This team is very talented, just flat, almost emotionless the last 2-3 weeks.charlestonalum wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 5:12 pm Something is amiss with team.
