Vandy247 Podcast

Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich discuss VU's dramatic win over Louisville that moves the VandyBoys to the College World Series final, then, talk about Louisville. Chris and Chip discuss pitching storylines, and list a few keys for the Commodores if they're to take home a title.

Chris Lee and Mitch Light dissect Vanderbilt's 3-2 win over Louisville in the College World Series that will be remembered for a long time. From the Luke Smith obscenities, to Mason Hickman, Jake Eder and Tyler Brown on the hill, to Ethan Paul at the plate and at short, and finally, Pat DeMarco's game-winning double, Chris and Mitch hit all the major moments of one of VU's most important wins ever.

Chris Lee starts with a funny rental car story before he and Chip Fridrich discuss Vandy's impressive 6-3 victory over Mississippi State, which leaves VU as the only unbeaten in its side of the bracket. The two discuss Kumar Rocker and Stephen Scott's big days before looking at what to watch in the rest of the College World Series going forward.

Chris Lee and New York Dore talk Kumar Rocker, discuss some pitching issues for Omaha, and talk a lot about the draft in our last podcast before the College World Series.

Chris Lee gives a couple of keys to a successful College World Series run, as he and Seabass talk about the CWS field and some keys for Vandy in it--and, of course, some Kumar Rocker talk. The two also talk about both public and behind-the-scenes improvement in athletics since Malcolm Turner took over as AD, and how some behind-the-scenes changes may have had a big impact as it comes to recruiting defensive linemen.

Chris Lee and Mitch Light discuss Vanderbilt's getting through the Nashville Super Regional, talk about the CWS bracket ahead, reflect on the J.J. Bleday shift, give some advice on driving to Omaha, and much more.

With help from Kumar Rocker, whose 19-strikeout no-hitter was one of the best-pitched games in college baseball history, Vanderbilt finally breaks its four-year College World Series drought with a 2-1 series win over Duke. Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich discuss how Rocker's dominance set the tone for Sunday, and examine some aspects of how special he is. The two also take some mailbag questions in Monday's episode.

Athlon editor and VU sideline reporter Mitch Light joins the show to talk about Kenyon Martin Jr's sudden departure, and the odd last decade that it's been for Vandy hoops. The two then get into VU baseball and discuss the upcoming Nashville Super Regional.

Chris Lee and Seabass share radio memories for a moment before talking baseball--and specifically, the Nashville Regional, the MLB Draft and how it's affecting Vanderbilt this week.

It wasn't always easy, but Vanderbilt got out of the Nashville Regional with plenty of room to spare, and will take on Duke in the Nashville Super Regional next weekend. Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich discuss Julian Infante's MVP performance, good outings from Jake Eder and Zach King, and much more.
