Vandy moves up a spot in D1
With #2 Stanford losing 3 out 4 this week, they drop to 9th. #2 thru #9 all move up one spot. That means we go from #7 to #6. If we could string 2 hits together, we might be pretty good. But, we are not a good hitting team. Don't look at our team offensive stats and compare it to other SEC teams. Just don't do it.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
Maybe we are spoiled. Look at our SOS compared to all of the other SEC teams. EBJ getting it going. We will go nowhere without him on base. I think that we have to live or die with Hewitt... and believe it or not maybe LeNeve. They have both mashed somewhat in the past. At this point, why not?

I think we are over-rated, and it will become obvious when we start playing SEC schools.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
This team is going to have a hard time because we are loaded with 18 and 19 year olds in a league with 22 and 23 year olds. About two more years of this an we will be at the bottom four in this league an Corbin will retire leaving some poor guy with a mess.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
Soooo…is it possible the offensive numbers relative to the rest of the SEC so far have a little something to do with the disparity in the SOS? (See the post of Aria’s tweet with VU at #40 and the rest of the league nowhere close.)
So far so good two games into conference play (knock on wood).

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
Through three SEC games (one of which was cut short due to excess scoring) the VandyBoys are averaging 9.0 runs per game and are hitting .346 (36 for 104).UltimateVUFan wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 9:14 am Soooo…is it possible the offensive numbers relative to the rest of the SEC so far have a little something to do with the disparity in the SOS?

And, DWFlare, the guys must have grown up or Corbin somehow learned how to coach them. Good start to SEC.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
Any 22- or 23-year-old college baseball player can’t be that good. The best ones turn pro after 2 or 3 years of college, depending on their age.Dorewithaflare wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:13 am This team is going to have a hard time because we are loaded with 18 and 19 year olds in a league with 22 and 23 year olds.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
We better move up more than one spot after sweeping Ole Miss. Unless Joe Lunardo and Jerry Palm are in charge of baseball rankings. Then nothing will make us move up. Their reasoning?
But-but-but...Central Arkansas.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
Of course I am encouraged. The number of runs we scored in the first game is more than I thought we'd score in the entire series. But 3 games is a small sample size. We'll see. As I said, I am encouraged. I was pleasantly surprised by the good pitching (Hunter Owen, just wow -- who saw that coming?), totally shocked by the good hitting.commadore wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 8:14 amYeah, we really sucked this weekend.geeznotagain wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 2:50 pm I think we are over-rated, and it will become obvious when we start playing SEC schools.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
Just messing with you. I, too, have been both critical and had no clue this is what was about to happen. Let's just hope this is the new norm.geeznotagain wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 12:29 pmOf course I am encouraged.

Re: Vandy moves up a spot in D1
#1 LSU lost one, #2 uut lost all three to a non #25 team (HAHAHAHAH!), #3 Old Miss lost all three to #6 Vandy, #4 Wake lost one, #5 Florida lost one to #24 Arkansas. I see a major up sweep in our #6 ranking.

Moved up to No. 4, behind LSU, Wake, Florida.
Can't scamper or slither...but I used to swim.
