Vandy247 Podcast episodes

March 18An eventual week for Vanderbilt football, baseball and basketball
Topics include:
The hitters seem to be feeling the pressure to produce due to a pitching staff that is pitching poorly.

How much would the composition of weekend innings (and roles) change if the pitching gets healthy.

Vanderbilt may wind up with the easiest conference schedule in the SEC.

There's not much to see in the first days of spring practice, but the feel is completely different with the addition of Jared Curtis.

Vanderbilt's NCAA Tournament draw could be a lot worse, even if the Commodores were mis-seeded.

If the Commodores get to the Elite Eight, it could await a problematic Houston squad playing in its hometown.

March 16Vanderbilt falls in SEC tournament final, faces McNeese in NCAA Tournament opener
Topics include:
Duke Miles is playing his best basketball of the season--and probably not coincidentally, Vanderbilt is, too.

The offense seems to be flowing as well as it has this year.

Vanderbilt went through perhaps the toughest possible draw in the SEC tournament and in spite of that, was four minutes away from winning it.

A look ahead to the matchup with McNeese.

It makes little sense that Vanderbilt got a 5-seed in the NCAA Tournament, but its draw also might not be bad.

And more.

March 12The VandyBoys win a mid-week game, and hoops starts the SEC tournament
Topics include:
Was Vanderbilt falling down four runs and coming back to win what the team needed?

Statistically, the team is several wins better than its 11-7 mark, which indicates some hope...

... if the pitching can come through (and parts have gotten somewhat better)...

... but the staff has to get healthy and we're not sure if that's happening or not.

Baseball is really lacking a home-field advantage right now.

Plus, brief basketball talk.

March 09Tyler Tanner leads Vanderbilt to victory in Knoxville
Topics include:
Tyler Tanner, again, was tremendous.

And AK Okereke was good, too.

Tyler Nickel still can't find his shot but Duke Miles stepped up on both ends.

Freshmen Chandler Bing continues to contribute in a big way and Jayden Leaverett does in pieces, too.

The Commodores got the coveted double-bye and will be tested by the kinds of teams that can give them trouble.

March 04Vanderbilt hoops wins a wild one at Ole Miss; baseball loses its fourth straight
Topics include:
Tyler Tanner was amazing in a win at Ole Miss.

Officiating was again, a topic of conversation.

Vanderbilt needs to get Tyler Nickel and Duke Miles back to their prior forms.

Foul trouble, again, was an issue.

Baseball has lost four straight and pitching effectiveness and health are big concerns.

Plus, Brodie Johnston, Collin Barczi and Rustan Rigdon have all been absent for various reasons on the hitting side.

The RPI and strength of schedule metrics work against Vanderbilt, for now.

Some pitchers who weren't supposed to be factors this season may need to be factors after all.

The directed towards Tim Corbin is absurd.

And more.

March 02Vanderbilt gets swept in Vegas--and it could get worse
Topics include:
The pitching isn't up to Vanderbilt standards, and the bullpen has been particularly bad.

The team didn't hit with men in scoring position, but that will pass.

The injuries and absences are piling up--Colin Barczi, Aiden Stillman, Miller Green, Matthew Shorey and now perhaps Austin Nye.

What's the best way to use Connor Fennell--or would Vandy have a choice based on injuries and ineffectiveness elsewhere?

And much more.

February 25The VandyBoys keep hitting homers, plus, big basketball games ahead
Topics include:
Tyler Tanner is one of our favorites after how he's played through the flu.

Duke Miles is back and is going to help tremendously, even if his shooting wasn't there in the loss to Tennessee.

A quick look ahead to the Georgia game.

Braden Holcomb is on a tear.

Brodie Johnson is striking out less.

Vanderbilt is run-ruling everyone in sight.

Pitchers have to throw more strikes.

February 24Vanderbilt gets Duke Miles back, but loses another heartbreaker
Topics include:
Miles's return wasn't perfect but it was needed.

Miles and Tanner were both off their games, maybe for different reasons.

Chandler Bing (again) defended at a high level.

Jalen Washington was the enforcer inside that Vanderbilt needed on Saturday, blocking six shots and pulling 10 rebounds.

February 19Commodores throw a no-hitter and hit more home runs
Topics include:
Vanderbilt's no-hitter against Eastern Michigan.

Logan Johnstone's having an under-the-radar great start.

Tommy Goodin may have seized a job.

Hitting coach Jason Esposito seems to have changed the team's approach--and it's working.

Lefties Miller Green, Matthew Shorey and Aiden Stillman still haven't pitched.

Alex Kranzler and Jacob Faulkner had quality mid-week appearances after struggling in Arlington.

And more.

February 18It's bombs away for Brodie Johnston and the VandyBoys; plus, big hoops games ahead
Topics include:
Why Luke is concerned about the men's basketball team until Duke Miles returns.

Will Frankie Collins return?

What do we make of the hitting performances of Johnston, Carter and Logan Johnstone, Braden Holcomb, Colin Barczi and others in the lineup?

What happens when Mike Mancini returns?

Thoughts on Connor Fennell, Alex Kranzler, Jacob Faulkner, Tyler Baird, Nate Taylor, Austin Nye and the pitching staff.

The Commodores have thrown just one left-handed pitcher so far.
