    My guess. And I hate guesses like this since there is no way for me to get inside of her head. I think Tim tried to use her as a closer and it didn't work particularly well and she has the typical "freshman lost confidence." I think she needs to start and work through it. We need her this year but if that doesn't happen, I'm not worried. She has a ton of talent and potential. It will come sooner or later.

    Makes sense. It looks like going to the post season, it's going to be a lot of Rothrock and Brown going 3-4 innings at a time. But I do think Oxley will get her opportunities, as will Hammock.

    Could be. That might be coming back on a different account. Sweatpotato said something to that effect. In any event, this is the last guy we should waste more time on.

    Six of the seven teams in front of us in the polls last week lost at least one game over the weekend. TX -0, Ark -1, FSU -1, OR -1, OK -2, Tenn -2, A&M -2. Be interesting to see where these pollsters put the Gators. I predict 4th.

    Senior Day... and KARA did well. Did you hear Ava's and Taylor's comments on Kara's start. They both were happy and so very proud of her.

    I'm thinking we see her start in game 1 of the tourney.

    our RPI is 2 and that was before this series. We have every chance to be any of the top 3 seeds.

    I’m not sure what the selection committee uses to make picks but I’m sure there is some flexibility. And so, the dirty word arises, POLITICS. With that in mind, I would not be surprised to see both UF and ARK thrown under the bus. I think the National seeds will come from the following teams, Ok, aTm, Tex, Tenn, FSU, OR, UCLA, TT and Az.
    It will be hard to choose UCLA, and they love them, without Or. Also hard to ignore the Big 12.

    With our metrics, we should safely be a top 8 seed. We have #2 RPI, #1 SOS. We can be as high as #1 and i don't see us lower than #6. TT and Arizona are in the running to be top 16 seeds, but they will not be top 8 seeds. The big 12 as a whole is not good at all, plus they do not have the metrics to be top 8 seeds. I HIGHLY doubt the committee will give either one a top 8 seed. Only one of Oregon and UCLA will probably be a top 8 seed. I do think the committee would want a west coast team to host supers. They both lack metrics so I think either can be the #8 seed.
