    My first American Legion baseball coach was as ol’school as they come-work walks, stealing bases, hit & run, and suicides….

    The sign for the safety squeeze was the indicator followed by the right hand touching both sides of the throat. The sign for the suicide squeeze was the same as the safety squeeze followed by Coach turning his back to you and walking back towards the left field line as he reached around and scratched his arse walking away from you ….:devil:

    If you don’t get it done, it’s your arse!!!

    I believe practice starts Sat, 1/25. I'm going to hear Sully speak at the Gator Talk event tomorrow night. Dugout Club dinner with the team is 1/23, so I'll find out more then.

    2025 Baseball Roster - Florida Gators

    This roster appears correct. Same players we had for fall ball, but several players changed numbers to protect the innocent. ;)

    Thanks. Softball started a week ago, so knew baseball had to start soon. I thought we were a week behind, but maybe it’s two.

    Has Lawson played at 1B at all? I was under the impression that Heyman and Donay would be splitting time there and Lawson would be competing for the 3B job.

    Lawson was down for a while in the Fall. I never saw him at first but I certainly didn't see every scrimmage.

    Sully was on the radio with Sean Kelley:

    Yost is back 100%.

    Seemed to think Philpott could be a Byrne like closer. Also mentioned the kid from Clemson as a possible closer.

    Starters are the 3 we all suspect but also mentioned McNeillie, Aiden King and the kid from Clemson.

    They will slowly work Christian Rodriguez back and says he could be special.

    Confirmed Lawson at first because they have to get his bat in the lineup.

    Yes. Consistent with my son’s start date at UNF.
