We have now had four kids transfer in post-Spring practice. Does anyone know how many have either transferred out or medically retired or more broadly how many more slots we have available?
All of course assuming that we stick to the 85 limit and don’t start using NIL money to get around it.

This coming weekends opponent, UGA, can mash the ball. Pitching has been their weakness. Appears they have found a way to improve the weakness.

Apparently his spin rate and velo were up significantly in his last two outings and he had 6 straight Ks against Texas a&m. Wonder why?

My hypotheticals are usually way off base, but I enjoy discussions and different view points. That being said I've wondered what would be the best use of pitchers for the VandyBoys mid week game this week?

First of all I want to save JD Thompson for the Georgia series this coming weekend. We sure needed him this past weekend. Maybe we should give Sam Hliboki the start against Tennessee Tech. Sam had a great outing his last time on the mound against ut Martin. I'm thinking maybe David Horn and Luke Guth as middle relief, and Brennan Seiber as a closer (restrict Seiber to 2 or less innings because we will need him available at UGA).

What do you guys think? Are Horn, Guth, Kranzler, and Huesman all healthy? What's happened to Sawyer Hawks? And what's the current status for Ethan McElvain? He was in the dugout this past weekend and even snagged a couple of foul balls, but I never saw him in the bullpen.

PS: Does anyone know what the extent of the injury to Jayden Davis is after being hit in the face by a MSU pitcher Saturday afternoon? Is he in concussion protocol or something else? Will he be OK sometime soon? We all wish him a big "GET WELL SOON !!!"

Anyone else notice that the inmate orange team's losses are usually on Friday nights ( the day they do bat inspections). Then they come back on Saturday and Sunday and hits 7-8 home runs. Where there is smoke.....

Feels like the decision making, loyalty to these seniors, and riding it out “his way” - all point that he’s retiring at the end of the season.

Any whispers that he plans to step away after the season is over?

Nice showing for the Vandy QB commit

I didn’t realize the situation was 2 outs with runner on 2 and Hines up.

That was unbelievably stupid

Really happy for him. Great story. Wish he could have played his last year at Vanderbilt.

A potential transfer to watch out for is Natalija Marshall from Notre Dame.

Marshall is a 6-foot-5 center who played in all 34 games, starting in 4. Averaged 5 ppg and 3.8 rpg, and has lots of upside.

I hate it , but that’s just the hard truth.

This account is a fun follow on X. The Hawk looks way cool with AI. Not sure about the other two, especially Memorial. Memorial is just not meant to be modern.

Espinal's Ks can still be a little frustrating, but he's done a heck of a job this year and been the most valuable player in the lineup alongside Vastine. He really should have been the primary catcher all of last year, too, as he outproduced Bulger at the plate last year, too, and is night and day better as a defender. The homers this weekend got me trying to remember Vanderbilt's last catcher who was better, and I can't think of one. I didn't follow the baseball team as closely 10+ years ago as I do now, so maybe there was one before that? Since then, Keegan was a better hitter but average at best behind the plate, and I could see an argument that Rodriguez was a better fielder, but he didn't have much of a bat.

The change in language continues concerning NIL. They can't give it and need Anchor Impact to do that but they are Absolutely raising/ encouraging people to give to Anchor Impact in addition to or sometimes INSTEAD of other initiatives like Vandy United or the NCC.

It was a great interview.

Things have changed in our favor. Finally.
