Vandy247 Podcast

Jerry Stackhouse is making the best of a tough situation in terms of roster management. Chris Lee and Mitch Light discuss that, and also get into how developments in other parts of the country could influence Vanderbilt's postseason baseball draw. Mitch and Chris also talk about VU's bullpen for a moment before briefly discussing the SEC East in football.

A series of thoughtful questions from a listener prompts some great discussion on football, basketball and baseball between Chris Lee and Seabass. Topics include win-loss expectations for football and basketball in conference play, some pitching thoughts coming out of the Louisville baseball game, and some encouraging early things coming out of Jerry Stackhouse's tenure as basketball coach.

It wasn't just the fact that Vanderbilt got a significant win over national powerhouse Louisville, on the road, on Tuesday. It was the fact that A.J. Franklin and Mason Hickman pitched well, Austin Martin defended well, Pat DeMarco's bat has come around, and other things that could have significance in the postseason, that made Tuesday important. Chris Lee and New York talk about that, and throw out some crazy names to try to make a comp for Austin Martin.

Austin Martin had another incredible weekend. Could he be a future MLB batting champion? Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich discuss that, some pitching issues (including strike throwing, again) and how the rotation could be modified for the Southeastern Conference Tournament, discuss VU's continued lineup dominance, and more.

The obvious answer is Tyler Brown, but Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich work through who they trust, in order, after that. The two also discuss whether VU's current lineup may be the best in SEC history, while Chip answers the question as to how you restore a pitcher's lost confidence.

Chris Lee and Seabass discuss the NFL Draft, and their takes on VU players who did (and didn't) get picked. The two talk some VU baseball and then discuss a couple of potential hoops transfers.

A quick glance at SEC stats reveals the Commodores may have unparalleled balance. Chris Lee and New York Dore talk about that, and dive into a discussion of how players returning from injury could affect VU's lineup choices, plus, the postseason roster.

Podcast favorite Mitch Light missed nearly two months on the show due to illness. So, we catch up with Mitch on his baseball thoughts following the Auburn series, his thoughts on the Jerry Stackhouse hire for hoops, and a few of his thoughts on the state of football after spring practice.

Some message board discussion prompts Chris and Seabass to talk about media bias and how it manifests itself in the sports world, and also discuss an astonishing stat about SEC basketball coaches. The two also talk briefly about baseball and about the David Grace hire for hoops.

Vanderbilt may be in the best position of any team in America to get a national seed. Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich talk about that, the batting order, Patrick Raby, and why next year's team could be a preseason top-five team.
