He probably shouldn't have went to White Castle with Harold.........(Some here will understand).......
Just gave up 2 bombs and 3 runs to start the 6th and he's done. Damn....
Let's hope to have this type of game when we play him, lol.
He's good, dang good but I don't think his stuff is as good as Leiter. Leiter is just filthy.
Rocker chased in the 6th after giving up 9 runs to an 18-10 UGA team. Guess he is human.
Vandy is good but dang UGA sticking it to them tonight. Vandy isn't unbeatable like so many seem to think. Any team can be beat.Quote:

Count down to “Opt Out” has possibly started
Didn’t he get sidelined some last year with arm trouble? If I was him and had ANY form of discomfort, I’m DONE! He has already won a CWS, SEC Crown, and been MVP/All American. Next thing is the money for the draft...Quote:

UGA just hit back to back to back HRs. 12-2 UGA, Top of 9th. ooof!
Holy shit! Back to back to back dingers! 6 on the night for UGA.
Another UGA HR. That's 4 bombs in Top of 9.
14-2 UGA
This is the most insane shit I have ever seen in an SEC baseball game.
It's like Gorilla Ball from the 90sQuote:

This is what vandy gets for overusing Kumar.
He has thrown a bunch of pitches so far this season. I think they said twice he has gone 100 plus.Quote:

This is why I'll never understand why pitchers choose to go to Vandy. Corbin continuously throws his starters well in excess of 100 pitches and when they get into the postseason he'll ride them til their arm falls off. I understand doing it once or twice if a guy is really feeling it, but hell Corbin does it weekly with Rocker and Leiter with the game well in hand most of the time.Quote:

But yeah, Kumar Rocker and Al Leiter have no business in College Baseball, way too good. They should be private COVID bubbles, throwing monitored bullpens. They can't do better than #1 and #2 in the draft.
Is playing for Vandy that thrilling? No huge base and the damn whistlers going nuts at every home game. Unless the whistlers died of COVID or the Nashville mask-requirements prevent whistling.
He was whistling last night, but he didn't have much to whistle for.Quote:

I hope I'm wrong but I don't see anything in Vandy's philosophy that would indicate that Corbin is going to reduce the workload on either Leiter or Rocker anytime soon. We can talk all day about advances in training, conditioning, blah blah blah but the arm only has so many throws in it. These guys have been playing year round since middle school. It will eventually catch up to them and for their sake I hope it's later rather than sooner.Quote:

It is when you can give 45+ players 'full ride' $75K a year scholarships at an upper level school!Quote:
