(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

I said I didn't disagree with her being considered a top prospect and she is. The ranking services had her as the #1 pitching prospect. That is debatable. I give little credence to any of these services being able to distinguish between a kid as #1 and some other kid ranked #20. For pete's sake, most did not have Taylor ranked very high and that is as big a miss as you can get. There are quite a few really good freshmen pitchers and Heavener and Red certainly fit that description.

 

Happy Birthday, Phil!

 

Yep. Dare I even tread on the thought she might turn out even better than Keagan? And, as an aside, even though we speak most every day, I did not know it was your birthday....so....happy. (How did Scrappy know this?)

 

Mine as well……….Twins LOL!

 

Thank you Scrappy!

 

Aggies look to to be a tough out

 

Happy Birthday!

 

Fwiw, UF is number one in the computer ranking right now.

Young pitchers can pull your hair out. Heavener got roughed up yesterday but LSU still won. She went 3.2 innings, gave up 3 hits, 5 earned runs, struck out 6 but walked 4 and hit 4.

 

13 SEC teams are currently ranked in the top 25 and 8 of the top 10. Talk about domination! So we have the SEC regular season followed by the SEC tournament and of course it ends with the WCWS which looks to me like it is going to be another SEC tournament. Winning the WCWS is the ultimate goal and the most prestigious but to me winning the SEC regular season is by far the most difficult of the three and in some ways a bigger deal.

 

It is all Nice!! But results between the lines are the only things that count., e.g, our experience with the polls last year and making it to a heart beat away from the World Series final series.

 

Taylor is not only a fantastic player but also a wonderful person and teammate. After conversing with her at the First Pitch Banquet, I was left with the impression that she is a grounded individual whose personality and attitude have a positive impact on her teammates. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to her family, coaches, and teachers for their invaluable contributions in shaping her into a kind and well-rounded young woman.

 

How do those numbers look now?

 

Lol....I think his argument about batting average died a day later. Game 1 yesterday raised the team average 11 points, game 2 dropped it a little. I'm sure today raised it up to that 2024 level

 

Yes, the team's performance this weekend was markedly better than it has been and is more in line with both last year's dominance and the high expectations of them preseason. I feel better today than I did Thursday.

Not sure why the ability to have a different opinion in light of new information is such a taboo around here, but some of you ought to try it sometime.

 

Duke beats UCLA 1-0. Curd, who blew us up, threw a four hit shutout. Duke left fielder ended the game with a Sportscenter top 10 tracking down a foul, flipping over the fence, landing on her head in the chairs....and coming up with the ball to end the game.

 

Are you going to go back through my entire post history and downvote every single one again, or was that just a one time tantrum from you?

 

Just returning the favors. I didn’t start with the dumb ratings, never do. If you give them out, I’m happy to return them. Seems fitting you would have a problem with it though. Just like how you like to criticize things, but can’t stand to be criticized.
