Vanderbilt baseball's Tim Corbin emotional after LSU sweep: 'This (expletive) means a lot to me'

During a Zoom call with reporters on Monday, Vanderbilt baseball coach Tim Corbin said that his players regroup "quicker than the coach."

Following up on his emotions after being swept by LSU to end the regular season, including a 21-10 loss Saturday, Corbin said he "I'm mentally touched, I probably should be in a medical institute. ... This (expletive) means a lot to me."

"I'm an emotional guy. I don't care. It's what I do. I've spent 38 years doing this, and the day that I don't give a (expletive) is the day that I won't be in this chair."

Corbin walked straight back to his office after Saturday's loss and declined to speak with reporters. Instead, right fielder Spencer Jones spoke to the media.

"I love being here every day. I have a lot of gratitude towards being at Vanderbilt. ... I love that (the players) care and I love that they can bounce back and I bounce back too but yeah, I'm emotional about things and I would rather be that way then be dead. And the day that I'm not, I'll probably be underneath. So I'm just going to keep going this way."
