    It's not a strategy I can wrap my mind around, but I would guess it's intentional.

    Go GATORS!

    Taylor is really bad at hitting singles. Extra bases, doubles, rbis, hrs, speed on the bases, good outfielder, nice arm. All well and good but she sucks at hitting singles. Definitely needs a benching.

    She only has one triple too. Someone should tell her to stop hitting it over the fence, and to focus on the corners. Triples are the key to success.

    I forgot. She’s horrible at triples also. What was CTW thinking when he recruited her? Probably something like OMG, can’t believe she’s rated so low, we’re going after her! Lol

    Giving up? Well, they were just bored with ten win seasons and a losing record vs FSU.

    Judging by your mental and written acuity you must be an honors graduate of The Ohio State University.

    I'm a UF grad but live in Ohio. The greatest day of my life was 1/8/07. I dislike the Bucknuts as much as you people dislike GA & FSU. Go Gators.

    Where in Ohio? I was born in Logan, between Columbus & Athens. My family on both sides goes back over 200 years in that area. We moved to Florida in 1959. Lots of Buckeyes in my family.

    Even though she's now in her longest slump of not getting a hit since the thread began (7 consecutive days); it's worth pointing out the the stats since the thread began...

    13 games, 20 H, 47 AB (.426 BA), 5 2B, 4 HR, 0 3B, .787 SLG, .481 OBP (1.269 OPS), 7 multi-hit games, 18 RBI, 13 R

    I recall a certain all-time great named Skyler or something like that had a bad stretch. CTW kept playing her and she did all right.

    IMO, Taylor could rewrite the record books before she is done. You don't bench that.

    Personally, I think this thread should be removed by a mod. Taylor Shumaker has had a tremendous freshman year.
