    I think game 3 you might have to consider starting Olivia since there isn’t as much tape on her. Or Dobbins needs to change up the pitch calling.

    On most of those HRs, South Carolina was waiting on an exact pitch.

    Not sure what Erickson was doing there. Her getting an extra base meant nothing.

    Did ya'll see that graphic they put up when Skylar came up to bat? Through the end of March she was hitting .484. In the month of April she's only hitting .129 with 2 RBI. Still getting her share of walks and HBP, but not making solid contact with the ball. With her in that kind of a slump it's hard for the Gators to win games. Erickson had a tough game today - unusual for her. We just have to win Sunday. Will be interesting to see what Coach Walton does in the circle. My guess is Rothrock will start, but will have a short leash.

    Can you imagine our season if she came here as planned and South Carolina didn't buy her out from under us?

    Maybe its just me, but I prefer the male announcer at KSP and find the woman often grating and annoying.

    I've hesitated posting before now in case her parents read this forum.

    Expect more of the same in the future, unless the approach changes drastically.

    He’s talking about the fan in the stands. Sounded like the lsu guy.

    So classy. Unfortunately, in this day and time, money means a lot. No one knows Vawter’s story or financial situation. Kudos to her for getting a better deal.

    Yeah - I don't like that poster either. From everything I read about her when we heard we may get her after last season, she seems like a class act. Went on an overseas mission on a joint project between Duke & Stanford to teach sports to kids in South Africa and delayed making her transfer decision until she got back. Stanford is a very expensive school to go to, but everyone has the right to do what's best for themselves and their family. I would love to have had her come to UF, but don't hold anything against her that she didn't. She's an excellent pitcher.

    For softball players, it makes even more sense to chase the money now. “Pro” softball doesn’t pay a living wage, and it takes years to make decent money if you get in to coaching. If you’re ever going to really cash in on your talent, now is the time. If someone is willing to give you real money to play college ball, take it.

    She was outside the gate in the circle where people get dropped off. I suspect they wouldn't let her bring the poster inside.

    Didn't get to watch this game but that slump Skylar is in remind me of Kvistad a few years ago. Later they said her finals were so stressful and once she was done and it was jsut ball she was fine. And she was fantastic all through the ncaa tournament. Hopefully Skylar rebounds the same. I believe in her.

    I was at the Miss State series and don't recall any injuries.

    I'm sure CTW will address this at his press conference.

    I remember Kvistad, I don’t see the comparison to Wallace. However I hope as we all do Skylar gets out of this funk soon.

    We need to win Game 3 badly. Got FSU at home Wednesday, then @ Georgia next weekend, another midweek game @ FSU, before closing the season out hosting Texas A&M. Tough final stretch and every game will go a long way towards deciding our seeding in the NCAA tournament.
