Vanderbilt Baseball Mail Bag #1: Call For Submissions

The Diamond Dores took 2 out of 3 in The College Baseball Showdown against fellow pre-season top 10 teams. Though the pitching staff will likely be stronger than the offense this year, this did not appear to be true this weekend, as we plated 4 runs in a loss, then 11 and 12 in subsequent wins over the Okie Pokes and Texas Long Fedoras.

I assume you have questions.

Here are the rules of the mail bag:

1. This is a BASEBALL mailbag, so limit your questions to Vanderbilt baseball, SEC baseball, college baseball, or Vanderbilt baseball alums in the pros like Tony Kemp.
2. Post your questions here in the comments and I’ll answer them in a post this week.
3. I will collate the best of said emails/questions in the comments, and cull ones that deal with the same topic (so we don’t have to repeat ourselves multiple times weekly).
4. All Anchor of Gold community guidelines apply to the questions. Our basic rule is “don’t be the worst.” Chuggers fans violate this like it’s their birth right.
5. Mike Papi, Luke Smith, and Ton “The Calf” Vitello are human garbage.

...and that’s it.

*Note: Questions about other SEC baseball teams are welcome, too. I just won’t know as much about them, and will likely respond with juvenile, biased trash talk.
