I agree, don't screw around with a streak. Help pull them thru WWolf !!

Do whatever it takes to win today. Coach Avent will pull whatever strings needed once we get to the finals, but the **obvious** thing to do is score more runs than Vandy today.

Willadsen, buddy, we need you to keep doing what you have been doing. Don't press, just pitch. The defense is still behind you and I have a feeling we are going to put up some runs. Rocker is good. Hell, everyone has been good for the last month and we have played our game and good things have happened.

For Rocker, they State batters need to lay off of his pitches out of the zone and make him throw a lot of pitches. If they swing at his slider out of the zone, it could be a long day. His bread-and-butter is the slider. He can get a little wild with his fast ball. Will be interesting if Elliot has them laying off pitches or if they keep the more aggressive they have used down the stretch.

Let's go Pack! It's a team game and the next man picks up his teammate. No stopping this team now

We're in a position where we can use a starter as a closer as well. This is why it was so important to be 2-0. When adversity hits, we have options.

Who ever said this was going to be easy? Go ****ing Pack!

.@KendallRogers thinks @VandyBoys will have the momentum against an @NCStateBaseball team that has had to sit and watch the last few days.

If Justice is out for longer than today then I'd think Villaman becomes the de facto multi-inning "closer".
Step one is that Willadsen needs to go deep in the game today -- at least 6 innings... and preferably 7 or 8.

There will be something regarding that shortly. No bueno. https://t.co/H56UcuMpiS

Yeahh.... odd.

No official word on anything.

But we are 10 minutes til scheduled start and we still have small tarps and the grounds crew sitting around on the field.

There are a few players in NC State’s dugout, but nobody in the Vandy one.

With 17 minutes until first pitch, the Vanderbilt dugout is empty and the NC State dugout only has a couple of players in it. The pitchers have stopped warming up as well.

This can’t be good …

⚾️#CWS GAME UPDATE ⚾️

We are in delay due to health and safety protocols.
Start time TBD

— NCAA Baseball (@NCAACWS) June 25, 2021

I'm wondering if this is coming from the Vanderbilt side. We've gotten confirmation through various sources that the majority of our guys are there. Maybe vandy is pushing back at playing. At this point, if we have nine guys that have tested negative and are ready to play, then play ball.

NC State has announced that an undisclosed number of players have been placed into COVID-19 protocols.

Like it or not, I'm sure Vandy is doing what's "best" for their chances to advance to the CWS.
If that means they have a so-called legal right to not play us and force us to forfeit... I wouldn't be surprised if they take that route.

Would it be the most ethical thing? Nope.
But I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

TuneIn going to football game vs Liberty

This is ****ing wild man....

How is it that everyone on the team and travel squad is not fully vaccinated at this point? Walk-up dosing has been available for weeks.

You shouldn't be able to arbitrarily refuse to play another team if they have enough players to field a team that have tested negative.

---

Yeah this is what I was thinking. Kinda common sense but we know how that goes with the ncaa

Should have gotten the damn vaccine.

Yep - If State can put 9 healthy players out there, Vandy should be forced to play.,

It will come down to how the rules are written around the health and safety protocols, and what responses are accounted for in those rules. But, yes, I agree that if a team can be fielded of players who have passed protocols, then a decision by the opponent to skip the game should be counted as a forfeit.

Here's the latest from Omaha. NC State doesn't have it's second baseman or All-ACC closer because of COVID-19 related issues while the school and NCAA are scrambling to see what happens next. https://t.co/qNGzhT1hjO

Per source, Vanderbilt wants the whole team tested again. Doing so would likely mean the game would be postponed. More positive tests would likely mean a forfeit.

Or THEY can forfeit. Don't punish our team for bad luck.

Cory's clickbait GIFs and posts on twitter are ****ing annoying.

He just wants everyone to be aware that he knows something important that we don't.

Cory is still out here peddling fear-porn. Someone take away his phone.

There are still no first- or third-base lines or a batter’s box at TD Ameritrade Park. Not looking good for NC State and Vandy. #CWS

Yep.
About what I expected.

Vandy is going to try and "gamemanship" their way into the Finals without ever having to play us.
