Post VANDERBILT Baseball and/or SEC Baseball questions in the comments here.
Earlier in the week, we received the news that our already beleaguered pitching staff would not have Austin Nye this season (and potentially next, depending on how he rehabs from what we can only assume to be Tommy John surgery). Coming off a brutal losing sweep in Clangavile, you would be forgiven for not exactly looking forward to our HATED RIVALS coming into town.
Then… whatever the hell those three games were happened. We’re being told it was baseball.
Friday: an extra inning 3-2 victory fueled by 7 and 1/3 IP of one run, 9 K ball by Connor “The Spice” Fennel” and a 10th inning walk-off single by Johnstone the Elder.
Saturday: Saturday damn near never ended. After 400 hours of college baseball, the Diamond Dores finally had them loaded after The Rooster and PH Max Jensen worked one out walks, then pulled off a double steal, and The Chuggers wisely walked the “so hot right now” Ryker Waite.
It all came down to 3rd catcher Mack “The Mack Daddy” Whitcomb, who, though a transfer from TN Tech, proved himself to be all Diamond Dore by executing a perfect suicide Vanderbunt to put this game out of its misery. Bottom of the 16th inning bunt-off 6-5 victory. Jebus.
Sunday: If you thought Saturday was insane, well… this one had everything (except for pitching). I’ll let Stefon explain this one:
Down 15-10 in the bottom of the 9th, well…
That settles it. I’ve determined that even without the type of pitching staff we’re accustomed to, I’m going to have fun this season. Opening up the mail bag right now.
Here are the rules of the mail bag:
- This is a BASEBALL mailbag, so limit your questions to Vanderbilt baseball, SEC baseball, college baseball, or Vanderbilt baseball alums in the pros like Tony Kemp.
- Post your questions here in the comments and I’ll answer them in a post on this week.
- I will collate the best of said emails/questions in the comments, and cull ones that deal with the same topic (so we don’t have to repeat ourselves multiple times weekly).
- All Anchor of Gold community guidelines apply to the questions. Our basic rule is “don’t be the worst.” Chuggers fans violate this like it’s their birth right.
- Mike Papi, Luke Smith, and Ton “The Calf” Vitello are human garbage.
…and that’s it.
