    Of course not. But the endless stream of negativity from some is tiring.

    We got the win vs USF last night, and we are going up to Knoxville for a 3 game set starting Saturday.

    We are The Florida Gators. "Through all kinds of weather......" and in us marches Florida, always and forever.

    Thanks - That explains the substitution and why Emily stayed in the game. And in the end it all worked out since she became the hero with the GS.

    Like you said, opinions, I have an opinion as well and based on the attached picture, there is a strong case that Wilke is performing better this year than KK is:

    KK's batting average is only 10 points higher than Emily's, Emily has more HR, more RBI, has a higher slugging percentage, has a higher on base percentage in 12 less games. So in my opinion, unlike Ocala's who I respect, Emily is a better option this year than KK and whatever the reason, replacing KK with Emily is a good move.

    As to calling me out 77 - thanks, that's just the world we live in these days and when I miss it, I just head over to THSG and get a few laughs.

    While they both have struggled in conference play.....KK leads in every one of those categories vs SEC. Leads to Emily doing better vs lesser quality opponents.
    KK is a career (3 years) .316 hitter. Emily is a career (3 years) .206 hitter. Pretty massive difference

    Agreed. But BA is not everything, I wonder how HR, RBI’s slugging % and OB % compare between the 2 over the last 3 years.
