Couple of Georgetown (Bowker) guys still there.

I have seen a few of you say that you’re beginning to feel good about the lineup but that you feel like we don’t have a good pitching staff.

With that said, I’d like to see an assessment of where we are right now if the offseason ended today (knowing that Corbin is trying to find another arm or two).

Here is what I know:

JD Thompson
Ethan McElvain
Luke Guth
Brennan Seiber
David Horn - Edit - he gone
Alex Kranzler
Miller Green

I like all of the above arms. All are SEC talents, all are likely to be drsfted and play baseball professionally.

Who do we add to that list?

Any rising sophomores who came in with high rankings who we can expect to make a jump? Any under the radar guys?

Any incoming freshmen who come in with high rankings who may be able to move the needle?

Any transfers in?

Any chance we give Devin Futrell enough NIL to return?

My overall impression is that with the 6 very talented arms I mention above, I would assume Corbin will be able to add another 5-7 talented arms to that group and we, once again, will have a pretty damn good group.

I think we have a chance to be looking at a damn good team next year. All the pieces aren’t in place yet but the Mad Scientist is in the lab, fellas.

When Vanderbilt has been decent in football in the past, we have had one or two players on either side of the ball that were anomalously better than the opposition on most teams. Cutler, Bennett, Mathews, Vaughn, etc. 11 subpar on O and D gets you beat every time. 9 regular guys and 2 studs won’t win 10 games, but it can keep you in a lot of games and win a few you don’t expect . Will we have that on this team ?

After not being selected in the MLB Draft, this is no surprise:

Seems apparent Barczi is our going to be our catcher.

Nelson is apparently a top 10 JUCO bat at least by this source.

Kropf was a 20 HR guy last year and Mancini 15. I wanted one more big time portal bat that might be a little more “proven” but fact is if the team is gonna get to where we want it all to go it starts in the batting cage with Coach King this fall.

I’d have to think this is great news.

Looks like Matthew Polk is returning for his senior year too.

I’ll be interested to see how this team fills out but I have a feeling we could be a national seed next May.

Thoughts?

What an ugly scene after the match with the Uruguay players and staff going into the stands to fight the Colombian fans.
The players said a group of Colombian fans attacked their families after the match, with kids caught in the middle. Uruguayan players and staff enter stands and get into fist fight with the Colombian fans.

Welcome to South American soccer. It is almost unwatchable due to the cheap and dirty play and diving and flopping that goes on. There was easily 20 minutes of wasted time in this match by (mostly) Colombian players laying on the ground and crying trying to waste time. Colombia got a red card at the end of the 1st half and played a man down the entire 2nd half, although you couldn't tell as they still had the better chances on goal.

Euro's = top soccer with great skill and respect
Copa = dirty cheap soccer where flopping and wasting time is the strategy, although there is incredible skill.

Hate South American soccer and the aftermath of last nights match may prevent another Copa America being here for a while.

Lots going on today so find our content and some updates in here.

Never thought I’d see that happen. I wonder if the draft going from 40 to 20 rounds has a lot to do with that…

TN had 22 picks; GA had 18.

Add your thoughts here.

2 quick questions: what is the actual comparison in numbers on the members of Byingtons staff and Stacks staff? And, have we replaced the Coach that left? Thanks!

Watching to see if Diaz, Vastine or Futrell go today. All are ranked in that range where they should go.

He’s a Nashville guy and will be a captain.

If the college football 25 game is any indication of his actual skill…

Dude is legit.

Anybody watch?

Carlos absolutely processed Djokovic. It was a masterclass performance.

Carlos is an absolute freak show.
