[quote]He made a poor decision. Thats the problem. Maybe he shouldnt be trusted 100%[/quote] Ok, and it’s never gonna be perfect. But you dance with the girl you brought. Taking the bat out of tanks hands is absurd. ...
I think there is a distinction that needs to be made between arguing if Tanks should have the green light on 3-0 vs should he have swung at that pitch. He absolutely should have a green light. Was it the best pitch to swing at? No, but that’s a hard distinction to make and it’s just part of l...

JFC its like you have never seen Tommy hit, he's aggressive and a good hitter high in the zone. He's your best hitter, you let him try to hit. Jones could have easily hit into a DP in the next at bat...

[quote]He would have to step on the plate to reach that. No chance he could make contact[/quote] It was a great take, and you absolutely don't swing on 3-0 with tanks on deck, 3-1 was a good pitch...
[quote]That’s why I wanted a 3 seed instead of being one of the lower seeded 2 seeds.[/quote] UF is also facing Brett Sears from Nebraska in game 1 and he's been lights out. My biggest fear as a 2/3 seed is running into a team that has one stud ace they throw on night one. ...

[quote]Who else has shown they deserve to be a Sunday starter?[/quote] In a regional you do whatever you need to do to win the first two and while I would love for them to be blowouts. Ack has to be prepared to pitch Friday. ...
[quote] He’s not a SEC level hitter. He’s improved over the years, but leaves much to be desired hitting.[/quote] he batted .267 with a .365 OBP in SEC play, I would be willing to bet that's better than half the starting catchers in the league....

[quote]It’s amazing people don’t think a 20 something year old kid could throw 5-10 more pitches to get an out with 6+ days rest ahead of him. [/quote] 6+ days rest?? He very well could need to pitch on four days rest and pitched 80 pitches on the weekend...

[quote]Ten left their pitcher in who’s doing well, we didn’t. Idiotic. Yes, I understand baseball.[/quote] you mean the Tenn pitcher who pitched 2/3 of an inning in SEC play and likely won't pitch in the regional unless they go 5 games vs. one of our best relievers? ...
