Tuesday BRING ME MAH BARREL! Game Thread vs. Louisville
5pm CT on ESPN2. I very much would like to type a long anti-Louisville rant, so as to get you fired up for this game, but this season has beaten us half to death with a sack full of doorknobs, and I just don’t have it in me anymore. Luke Smith, however, is still human […]
Saturday Don’t Get Swept Game Thread vs. The Ramajama Gumps
Season is teetering on the precipice… On the Mound Saturday @ 1:00pm on SECN+ Vanderbilt #88 Fr. RHP Wyatt “Ice Town” Nadeau (1-2; 5.08 ERA) vs. Gumps #11 Fr. RHP Myles “Kilometers Northcathedral” Upchurch (5-3; 3.30 ERA) The Lineup *Date afternoon, so won’t be able to update this before first pitch. See you in the […]
Friday Game Thread vs. The Ramajama Gumps
*Update: I didn’t notice until now that the game had been moved up and is already in progress. I was at work, like I imagine nearly all of you were, as well. I’ve never been done with a Diamond Dores team in the Tim Corbin era. After last night, I’m close. I’ve always been team […]
Series Preview and Thursday Game Thread vs. The Ramajama Gumps
Thursday at 6pm CT on ESPN2, Friday at 6pm CT on SECN+, and Saturday at 1pm CT on SECN+. After letting a potential season-altering series win over Tejas slip through our fingers, the Diamond Dores head to Gumpland for a much needed road series (potentially season saving) victory. It’s… a lot. And we won’t be […]
Tuesday Game Thread vs. MTSU
3:30pm CT on SECN+. On the Mound Tuesday @ 3:30pm SECN+ Vanderbilt #45 Fr. RHP Connor “The Canadian” Hamilton (1-0; 4.28 ERA) vs. MTSU ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Lineup See you in the comments.
Sunday Rubber Match Game Thread vs. The Tejas Long Fedoras
One day after being run-ruled, a stud freshman just beginning to stretch out his arm and some bullpen guys shut out the dominant Tejas Long Fed-offense. It was a beautiful thing. Today, we get a chance to take a really tough series. On the Mound Sunday @ 12:00pm on ESPN2 Vanderbilt #88 Fr. RHP Wyatt […]
Saturday Game Thread vs. The Tejas Long Fedoras
7pm CT on SEC Network. Well, that was disgusting. Always a great Friday when your Ace gets run-ruled at home. Anyway, puke, rally, and win today’s Johnny Wholestaff game to force a rubber match tomorrow. Please. And thank you. On the Mound Saturday @ 7:00pm on SEC Network Vanderbilt #¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Johnny Wholestaff vs. Long Fedoras […]
Series Preview and Friday Game Thread vs. The Tejas Long Fedoras
Friday at 6pm CT on SECN+, Saturday at 7pm CT on SEC Network, and Sunday at 12pm CT on ESPN2. The Tejas Long Fedoras (#4) ‘26 Record: 30-8 (11-6 SEC). The Long Fedoras opened the season 16-0 in OOC play, but since conference play started, have come back to Earth a bit. In OOC play, they ate […]
Sunday Rubber Match Game Thread vs. The Wedding Jerseys
Some wins are fun. Yesterday morning’s 8-7 scrape job was not one of them. Still, a road series win remains possible today, and we’ve got Ice Town on the mound. On the Mound Sunday @ 12:00pm on SECN+ Vanderbilt #88 Fr. RHP Wyatt “Ice Town” Nadeau (1-2; 5.15 ERA; 11.54 K/9) vs. #48 Jr. LHP […]
Saturday Game Thread vs. The Wedding Jerseys
10am CT on SEC Network. I was saying Boo-urns at the end of that one. Corbs is going with the “fuck it, try anything else” strategy of giving the ball to this year’s presumptive closer, Miller Green. Seeing as he’s only thrown for 2 IP following injury this year, this is likely an opener only. […]
Series Preview and Friday Game Thread vs. The Jamal Mashburn Wedding Jerseys
Friday at 5:30pm CT on SECN+, Saturday at 1pm CT on SECN+, and Sunday at 12pm CT on SECN+. The Jamal Mashburn Wedding Jerseys (NR) ‘26 Record: 25-10 (7-8 SEC). The Wedding Jerseys have matched our one game under .500 conference record, but had a much stronger OOC record (18-2), thus placing them in a less precarious […]
Tuesday Game Thread vs. The David Lipscomb University Improperly Pluralized Bisons
6pm CT on ESPN+. Just got home from work… let me put this up now and then edit, so you have something to comment on. On the Mound (I’m guessing…) Tuesday @ 6:00pm ESPN+ Vanderbilt #45 Fr. RHP Connor “The Canadian” Hamilton (1-0; 4.07 ERA) vs. Improperly Pluralized Bisons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Lineup See you in […]
Saturday Rubber Match Game Thread vs. The OK Boomers
Tough to plate 11 and lose, but that was last night’s game. The good news is we planned for a Johnny Wholestaff affair, whereas the Boomers used their 2nd best starter. Wyatt “Ice Town” Nadeau needs to win the Mayoral election on the mound today for us to take this much needed home series. On […]
Bowling Semifinals: Vanderbilt vs. Wichita State
Hey everyone, I noticed there wasn’t a post up for the bowling semis vs. Wichita State, so I fixed that glitch. Comment away. Here’s the link to watch it. Winner faces the unstoppable force that is Jacksonville State tonight at 6pm (I think… can’t remember the time precisely).
Friday Game Thread vs. The OK Boomers
Mancino Man was weasing the juice late in last night’s game, and all but singlehandedly turned a pitcher’s duel into a 10-5 blowout win for the Diamond Dores. In addition to Mancino Man’s 2 dongs, a double, and 6 RBI, The Brode Man and The Hulk had a pair of doubles in the 4th, Hulk […]
Anchor Drop and Open Thread: Friday, April 10, 2026
Good morning. Optional Musical Accompaniment Vanderbilt bowling seeks to win its fourth national title this weekend to send longtime coach John Williamson out on top as the Commodores face Arkansas State in the national semifinal today. You can watch on NCAA.com starting at 8 AM CT. Baseball won the series opener 10-5 over Oklahoma last […]
Series Preview and Thursday Game Thread vs. The OK Boomers
Thursday at 6pm CT on SEC Network, Friday at 6pm CT on SECN+, and Saturday at 1pm CT on SECN+. It’s back to back SEC-Big XII Challenges for The Diamond Dores, but at least they’ll be at The Hawk this time. Speaking of the new-ish Big XII teams in the SEC, absolutely no one is […]
Tuesday Game Thread vs. EKU
6pm CT on SECN+. After getting housed in a double header in Milkman Station on Friday, the Diamond Dores welcome a directional Kentucky college for a mid-week get right game before a three game set against the OK Boomers. On the Mound (I’m guessing…) Tuesday @ 6:00pm SECN+ Vanderbilt #45 Fr. RHP Connor “The Canadian” […]
Friday Double Header Game Thread vs. The aTm Cult of Milkmen
The power bats showed out Thursday in a 14-8 pummeling that was actually a relatively close game for a while. Today, due to weather concerns Saturday, we’re playing two. Here’s Barczi Rescue with his third donger of the game, for instance: On the Mound Friday @ 2:00pm on SECN+ Vanderbilt #88 Fr. RHP Wyatt “Ice […]
Series Preview and Thursday Game Thread vs. aTm
Thursday at 6pm CT on SECN+, Friday at 6pm CT on SECN+, and Saturday at 2pm CT on SECN+. After a strong week sweeping The Knoxville Buttchuggers and dominating Belmont in the midweek, the Diamond Dores travel to Milkmen Cult Land to see if their luck and positive trajectory continues. The aTm Cult of Milkmen […]
Tuesday Game Thread vs. Belmont
6pm CT on SECN+. After three straight improbably walk-off victories over THEM, what will the Diamond Dores bring against Belmont? On the Mound Tuesday @ 6:00pm SECN+ Vanderbilt #45 Fr. RHP Connor “The Canadian” Hamilton (0-0; 5.65 ERA) vs. Belmont ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Lineup See you in the comments.
Vanderbilt 2026 Baseball Mail Bag (3 SEC Series In): Call For Submissions
Post VANDERBILT Baseball and/or SEC Baseball questions in the comments here. Earlier in the week, we received the news that our already beleaguered pitching staff would not have Austin Nye this season (and potentially next, depending on how he rehabs from what we can only assume to be Tommy John surgery). Coming off a brutal […]
Sunday Game Thread vs. THEM
11am CT on ESPN2. Two extra inning walk-off wins in a row, and we’ve clinched the series against The Franzia Funnelers. Friday’s was a 10 inning Johntone the Elder winner, but Saturday’s… Saturday damn near never ended. After both Nadeau and Mack dueled through 3 scoreless frames, the dam finally broke in the bottom of […]
Saturday Game Thread vs. THEM
1pm CT on SEC Network. Yesterday’s game was a much needed victory over the hated School to the East—an extra inning 3-2 victory fueled by 7 and 1/3 IP of one run, 9 K ball by Connor “The Spice” Fennel” and a 10th inning walk-off single by Johnstone the Elder. Today, we go for win […]
Series Preview and Friday Game Thread vs. THEM
Friday at 7pm CT on ESPNU, Saturday at 1pm CT on SEC Network, and Sunday at 11am CT on ESPN2. This might be the first time in 20 years that neither us, nor the Franzia Funnelers to the East are ranked. Gross. Clearly, ESPN didn’t think this would happen to both of us, as they […]
