Appreciate all the info brought in from todays games. I thought Mia had a great fall last year too. Hopefully it translates this year. And props to Rick as it looks like he was dead right about Shumaker. Cahalan has had a great fall as well.
Fall Ball game competition (ex. FSU) is a big step down from inter squad games. That makes me wonder if it would be within the rules to encourage frequent pickup games during the off season. You know, get the keys to the stadium or go off campus, choose up sides, maybe get a few former players as subs and coaches, managers as umpires. Maybe get someone from this forum to keep score and post action. Just have a little fun, build team spirit and compete against the best players in the SEC. Maybe the losers buy pizza and beer.
Remember last winter going to UCF for fall ball and having Keagan greeted with a "no doubter" home run, and wondering how she would handle it. Guess she handled it well.
Good job, Notex. On that double by Tayshu, were 3 freshmen on base, and a freshman drove them in. "And, a little child shall lead them."
We need you! Your insight and knowledge is appreciated. I found myself going back to your posts on Mia and Tayshu several time to refresh my memory. Come back and keep posting whatever and whenever because we all know it’s in the best interest of the forum and Gator Softball.THANK YOU
@ufgtr77, what is the Come On Man for on this post? Maybe a Fat Finger and should have been Wish I Had Said That.
Hallie's aunt sat behind us, and her daughter is #2 on USF. She said she would be wearing 2 also and to look for her. On an interesting note, she said Hallie and Wyatt have known each other since preschool.
rjenlow, excellent summary! Thanks so much for using last names. Much easier to read and comprehend who is who for those of us not on a first name basis with the players.
First news on softball website in 18 days. Posted by Lauren Staff. I emailed and ask her to post detail on earlier fall ball. Also asked her to more and better news more frequently along the lines of my earlier posts. Congradulated her on new job. Should you want to “ENCOURAGE” her as well, her email is LaurenS@gators.ufl.edu
Lauren Staff’s summary of the last three exhibition games under floridagators.com Softball News was a great addition to the official news from UF. Looking forward to her work.
Fall Ball: Softball Goes 3-0 In Week Two - Florida Gators Thank you Lauren Staff. Nice summary. Please keep up this type of reporting for us, the passionate fans of Florida Gator Softball.
Re: Lauren Staff Thanks guys..I sent a photo of your posts to her so she now now’s about the forum and our appreciation.
I also sent an encouraging email to her and told her how much I enjoyed the article. I copied CTW as well.
Great! If she is responsive, maybe we could use her as an interface to express our displeasure about games not being broadcast at home and at preseason tournaments, especially USF’s tournament. I really can’t complain yet until the game broadcast plans are available. Thanks
