Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

So I’ve been thinking (scary I know). Obviously everyone is happy that Skylar is back. Nobody more than her I imagine. I really, really like her in the 3 spot however so does she stay there or reclaim her 2 spot. Not sure messing with things at this point would be wise considering how well everything is coming together. Any thoughts?

 

So Sat and Sun wipe out a month long slump st the plate? What about the glove? I think it's still in a slump...leave her where she is, at this point nobody can argue the results Korbe is getting, just makes Skylar more dangerous in my mind if she has figured things out

 

Just noticed the KPI updated again this morning 2 hours after the initial update:

Faktor (faktorsports.com)

A couple of changes:

Faktor (faktorsports.com)

1. Texas
2. Oklahoma
3. Tennessee
4. Duke
5. Oklahoma State
6. Stanford
7. Florida +1
8. UCLA -1
9. Missouri +1
10. LSU -1
11. Arkansas
12. Texas A&M
13. Georgia
14. Florida State
15. Alabama
16. Louisiana
17. Virginia Tech
18. Mississippi State
19. Clemson
20. Washington

Using the KPI as of today, UF and LSU are matched up in the seeding. If this holds through the SECs and both winning their regionals, it would be Gators vs. tiggers part deux in the Gainesville Super Regional.

Has anyone else noticed UCLA's overall record, 34-10. UF has one less win, 43, than UCLA's 44 game schedule. There should be some kind of penalty for not scheduling a full season of games. Washington did the same thing as UCLA. However, Stanford didn't have a problem scheduling a full season.

Hitting walls like the Gators did in April and avoiding injuries must be easier with incomplete game scheduling.

 

Not right IMO

 

Lmao. Did you even read my post. I said myself I love her in the 3 spot. I was asking for thoughts not criticism lol. Korbe has proven to be a monumental steal from the portal and Kendra has been absolutely on fire. They get on Skylar bashes them in. Imo Skylar has more power than Korbe so again I like her at 3. Saturday and Sunday don’t negate the April slump Skylar fought through, however how exactly do you think slumps come to an end??? I’d say they come to an end by getting big hits in big moments like Skylar did this weekend. I’m not trying to take anything away from Korbe it was simply a question. Maybe I’m crazy however and got everything wrong. Skylar struggled for ONE month, I guess she should be benched. Someone brought up Taylor Pleasants earlier, phenomenal player who’s struggled through an ENTIRE season slump. WTH man, Skylar is back! Now the offense will be even more explosive, dangerous and impressive. Apologies I asked what I thought was an innocent question to collectively ponder.

 

I did notice the half season UCLA has played and I agree with you.

 

Both UCLA and Washington had a lot of weather cancelations

 

I guess I should be thankful then that weather is never an issue in the south east that might have to be prepared for and scheduled around. It must be truly horrible playing softball in California.

 

I mean I'm just saying why they had less games. I dont think UCLA should be ranked that high either.

 

Agreed. I’m well aware of the campaign Korbe has put together and the team is fortunate to have her. I like the lineup we have right now and simply shared a thought to be talked about. I didn’t expect criticism from some random guy with 7 total posts or whatever lol. I’ll go a step further and say I believe together Korbe and Jocey have willed this team to victories we wouldn’t have without them and without them talk of hosting a super wouldn’t be happening now. Skylar btw probably singlehanded willed the team to 10-15 wins last season we wouldn’t have had without her. And Kendra I haven’t forgotten you. If Kendra doesn’t do what she did against FSU we aren’t talking about possibly hosting supers.

 

EDIT-----ucla schedule shows 3 in conference cancellations. uf played 17% more games and i think uf had a few cancellations that would bump the % back up. ucla didn't schedule a full season, jmho.

 

Brandon Bluhm or Chris Drumm? I think I know which is your favorite umpire.

 

Both are an embarrassment to the sport and the NCAAs credibility.

 

No idea. Oddly enough Washington cancelations weren't even home games.

 

So my number of posts decides if I can be critical? Obviously something ends when something else starts hiwever I think 2 gamea is not a trend. My point is one weekend of back to normal in my opinion doesn't mean we go back to the old lineup.. This lineup has sparked massive run production and I feel it's best to keep it as is, especially when the regular season is over. Glad I didn't post the discussion I had with a friend 2 games before coach made this lineup change...my account would have been cancelled.

 

What are they going to do when they start playing Big 10 (100) teams next year? Too far to play? LOL

 

Lol. ONCE AGAIN I LOVE THE LINEUP EXACTLY HOW IT IS WITH SKYLAR IN THE THREE SPOT. I simply posted a food for thought question. If you want to criticize a post of mine go for it. This forum is for discussion after all. However I insist you actually read the post in its entirety or garner a better grasp of the English language before you respond.
