Vandy247 Podcast

It was another crazy week of baseball, as Vanderbilt got out-scored for the weekend, but took two of three from No. 5 Ole Miss. Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich discuss strategy (and particularly, in seven-inning games), Austin Martin's hidden ball trick, Ethan Paul's improbable home run, bullpen failures, hard contact, and even some Frank Thomas trivia.

Chris Lee and Seabass start by discussing a certain NHL player they despise, and some 1980s baseball, before getting into the Commodores. Talk turns to what happens if Romeo Langford doesn't choose Vandy, then, to the upcoming football season, including predictions on the team's statistical leaders, and ranking opponents in order of most to least likely in probability that the 'Dores can win.

SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers shares his thoughts on Vanderbilt football, and why he thinks VU could have a solid 2018. Rodgers shares why he calls Ke'Shawn Vaughn "a stud," discusses his concerns about the wide receiving corps, names a couple of sleepers on defense, discusses the impact of new defensive coordinator Jason Tarver, talks NFL futures of Kyle Shurmur and Bruno Reagan, and finally, shares why he thinks VU's administrative commitment to football is lacking.

Chris Lee and former VU pitcher Chip Fridrich discuss recent lineup changes, and discuss what we could see going forward. Chip also discusses Mason Hickman's Saturday outing, and other things he liked from the Commodores' series win over Georgia.

Chris Lee and New York Dore talk about Vandy baseball following VU's series win over Georgia. Topics include great outings by Drake Fellows, Chandler Day and Mason Hickman, lineup changes that worked, and more.

Rivals hoops recruiting analyst Eric Bossi joins us for an interesting 20 minutes of Vandy hoops recruiting discussion. Topics include where five-star hoops target Romeo Langford could end up (and why), his thoughts on VU commits Darius Garland and Simi Shittu (and how long they stay in school), and why coach Bryce Drew is having huge recruiting success.

Chris Lee and New York Dore discuss VU's rough patch of baseball, which has been marked by low levels of offensive production. Is it time to try new lineup combinations, and what would those be? The two look at that, as well as how VU isn't helping itself with its lack of pitch-framing abilities, and much more.

Vanderbilt was swept at Florida, and is now in the midst of an uncharacteristic four-game losing streak. What's gone wrong, and can it get better? Chris and Mitch discuss.

Chris Lee and Seabass go through some "what-if" scenarios on how VU could fill out its basketball roster for 2018-19. Then, based on those, the two make a guess at a depth chart, and how many minutes each player on the roster plays per game. The two also talk about Chris's experience in Atlanta at the McDonald's All-Star Game.

New York Dore and Chris Lee talk about Vandy's mid-week and hitting struggles, which VU has overcome to have a nice season in spite of them, including last weekend's series win over LSU.
