    It looks like the Gators are the visiting team, again.

    Remember...Nobody expected the Gators to get to Omaha and they did. So what ever happens, happens and next year looks brighter. I'm ready watch, evaluate and wait until fall practice. How about the rest of you?

    We can wait till next June if you want. Getting where we are right now is the path to the ultimate goal. How you get there is less important, imo.

    I agree. That inning we had runners on 2nd and 3rd nobody out, why not try and bunt?

    Bunt or not, we’ve got to hit it where it’s pitched! Damn that dead red pull mode regardless of the pitch location. It’s not like they’ve never been exposed to the concept before.

    Middle away let it get a little deeper on the plate and drive the ball to right/right-center. Get it done! Damn swinging from your heels on a freaking slider down and away.

    Let’s do this Gators.:ninja3:

    Tread lightly fellow heretics. Talk of situational small ball, and line drive inducing at bats, could get you exiled to Elba. What do you think this is, an open forum? Keep all your stats, and decades of baseball game analytics, to yourself. You're wrong, just move along.

    Jersey color today? I want to dress appropriately for the Gators elimination of the Wolfpack. Since UF wore blue on Saturday, I'm expecting orange today.

    Weather:

    Partly Sunny
    High 90
    South wind 11 to 21
    Gusts to 32

    The NWS isn't calling for rain, but there is a line of thunderstorms to the west that could pass through or go north of Omaha before 1 PM CT.

    Anybody out there go to Drover's Restaurant?

    I don't watch much MLB, only if i'm channel surfing. I happened to come across Yankees-Red Sox last night. NY bases loaded no outs.. Boston pitcher was throwing nasty pitches (with 22" horizontal break) First 2 NY batters swinging at pitches low and breaking way away from the plate, batters looking like bad little leaguers trying to pull the ball, missing by a mile. (both struck out) . Next batter flies out. I said to myself, we are not the only team that does that, even being done in the Majors.]!!!
    It didn't make me feel any better by 100% agree we need to go where the pitch is thrown.

    No first there is baseball left to be played this year!
    Secondly , where do you see UF better when you have no idea about the roster.
    Third, you lose the best player to ever wear a uniform that has Gators across the top.
