    Strange. No idea why my response to apkgator is formatted as it is there.

    It might be a scary place to be.

    Fall ball is going to be very interesting.

    Probably a total coincidence but the last three good Florida softball players to enter the transfer portal were all catchers. Roe, Decker and Cottrell.

    Wasn’t Sam paired up with Lexi pitching? It seemed like that is what I recall at any rate, which would obviously limit playing time in and of it self.

    Too bad. We swung and missed last year getting a quality pitcher in the portal. It simply cannot happen this year.

    Tim is heading to Ireland with the USA national team in July. I wonder if we will see commitments from the portal before he leaves for Ireland.

    CTW needs to strike gold a couple of times this summer. Crucial to next year's success, IMO.

    we lost to Stanford and there is no shame in that. So we are only a few players short.

    At least 2 pitchers and a big bat or two. If Gigante doesn't transfer out, we have 9 players on the roster, 2 of whom have injury issues. Plus 6 incoming freshmen. D1 rosters have 20 players or more on their teams. Coach Walton has a lot of work to do over the next few weeks. No way 2 freshmen, no matter how good they are, can carry a team through an SEC season and post season. Need at least 2 quality pitchers to go with them. Again, most staffs have 5-6 pitchers and FSU has 7 this year.
