Interesting decision here

 

[Zues1]

Good lord

 

[NorCalVol67]

I am against torture.

The whistlers are the exception to my rule.

Rocker has gotten real good real fast.

SEC teams may want to throw their Sunday starter on Friday's against Vandy next year.......

 

[Crossvilleman]

On paper they were not supposed to be, but that is why they play the games.

They have been impressive.

FYI: They were ranked in the preseason top 20 it’s more like they played bad for stretches of their season. I think they could complete in the SEC.

SEC teams may want to throw their Sunday starter on Friday's against Vandy next year.......

winning 10 games in the SEC is tough and 2/3’s of the way to a Regional bid. Vanderbilt with Rocker may already have that for next 2 years.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Well, tomorrow night should be fun.

 

[@1RBFjr]

I'm glad the SEC team won tonight.

(ducking for cover )

 

[BruinVol]

Ok boys, tell me the play tomorrow


I bet 4:1 on Vandy it win it all back before the tourney started. I bet 2 units so I stand to win 8 if Vandy wins tomorrow.


Looks like Mich is going to be around +150 tomorrow.


Do I


1) bet Michigan at +300 risking 2units which means I cant lose. I win 6 units if Vandy wins and 1 unit if michigan wins

2) Or let it ride and win 8 units with a Vandy win or lose 2 units if mich wins


Thoughts?

Rocker has gotten real good real fast.

His fast ball, curve & slider mixture is electric. What's more his manner on the mound is quite focused & mature. Freshman? Just heard that when he turns 21, he may declare for the draft. In college baseball, they must stay through their junior year, but this is an exception of which I wasn't aware. Anyhow, Rocker saved vandie's bacon again Tuesday.

I have one piece of advice:

bet with your gut and not your heart........ It worked in 2018 Pick'em so it should work now

Vandy...let it ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BIG ORANGE!

Playing field is definitely not level.

Tell me when the playing field has ever been level in college athletics. I am all for full scholarships for baseball, as well as paying a third assistant, but let’s get real. Vanderbilt has been at a disadvantage in every single sport for decades because it’s simply not a level playing field. Life isn’t fair and you just deal with it.

How has Vandy been at a disadvantage in all sports?


Don’t give me the bs about admissions. They can control that.

You are in perhaps the greatest city in America.

You control your facilities. Spend some damn money

 

[preacherman20]

Thanks BruinVol. I was going to say the same things. Vanderbilt has the money to do what it wants. No the playing field will never be level with Vandy being able to spend the money it has to bring in athletes and facilities. They just choose how level they want to make it. And don't give me that we have high standards stuff. I know personally some of their players in various sports and they make a kid work if they really want him.

Game 3, let's do it !

what did you decide? Let us know so we can root for ya' or against ya"

 

[Crossvilleman]

What a strike zone after that HR. Vanderbilt batters never had a chance if that’s getting called

 

[Zues1]

How you like to have those great seats behind home plate only to find out the whistler is sitting beside you! I would probably accidentally dump one of those massive snow cones in his lap.

[OldTimer]

Dear JJ Bleday, stay away from the dogpile.......you will be a very rich man tomorrow if you don't get hurt!

OT

Edit: I'm signing the contract in about 30 minutes......

 

[Crossvilleman]

Vanderbilt had never won a best of 3 playoff series when losing the 1st game of the series. They won both times this year.

 

[cwells52]

Vandy was the cream of the crop all year and pulled it out, Michigan got hot at the right time but couldn't handle the best baseball team in the nation all year.

 

[feathersax]

Vandie defeated Michigan 7-2 to win it all. Their season record was 59-12. Not bad. STILL I loathe the commode-doors. Kumar Rocker was named MVP of the College World Series.
