    This. The “they would’ve lost anyway” attitude is wrong. They only lost 3-1 to Rocker yesterday and had numerous chances to score more, especially against the relievers. Vandy’s pitching situation wasn’t going to be great today.  They could’ve also thrown a pitcher in RF and put their regular 1B back as he was playing LF. And just hope for the best. 
     

    Also, I find it hard to believe that they wouldn’t get some negative unvaccinated players back for next week. 

    Do we know Highfill wasn't one of the 4? Do they just cycle through their remaining players in case whoever starts gets shelled? What about an injury?

    Does the NCAA have rules on how many players must be available? Or do you just need a pitcher and catcher?

    Does Vanderbilt reserve the right to protest playing given the positive cases and the risk involved with contact to NCSU (availability risk, not health risk)?

    That part's the only mystery remaining.  Everything else can be chalked up to empowered stupidity.  I think the N.C. State guys who can show they were fully vaxxed on schedule and who had negative tests should be able to play, but here we are.  Would have made for a fucking awesome underdog story.  They'd still be short-handed, in an elimination game, still playing the field favorite to win Omaha.  Plus there would be a chance to give Covid to the whistler guy.  

    I think that's the problem though - they don't have enough of those guys. That was yesterday's game - 13 vaccinated players that could play. Supposedly today, 4 of those 13 subsequently tested positive, leaving them without enough to field a team. Not to mention even with the 13 from yesterday, it would've been near impossible to field pitchers given what they used up yesterday.
