    Red has a wicked change up also she just hasn’t needed it much so far!

    Very impressed by her performance and cool demeanor. Looks like we now have a staff that will allow coaches to change pitchers before they “blow up.”

    Red also pitched and did not just throw. Her curve ball and screw ball were devastating. Her changeup for the SO was Gurley like. I am looking forward to seeing her at least twice this weekend.

    Ricks gonna end up being as right about her as he was about Taylor. I believe him when he says he thinks she’ll be one of our greatest pitchers ever. We’re all going to have to chip in and get Rick a lazy boy/sauna/foot massaging/ back scratching/ beverage of choice dispensing chair so he can sit back and enjoy being sooo right all the time :)

    Nah. But I could use a Ferrari to cure my mid-life....uh....old-life crisis. (My frozen margaritas are to die for, however, so keep the tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup and rose's lime juice in stock.)

    So we insert a margarita dispensing/sauna/back scratching chair inside of a Ferrari! Simple…might need help from some boosters actually.

    Agreed! The movement on her pitches is insane regardless of the competition. If we can see that kind of movement from the television imagine what the batters are dealing with. And yes her change up is very Delanie Gourley like.

    If the Ferrari is too much, I'll settle for a Vette.

    As for Red, I think I recited this on a game thread but not here. A couple days ago Tim was giving an interview and was asked about Red. He replied the same way he has talked for months about Taylor...."there is no ceiling."

    Go eat a bloomin onion @outbackjack lol. Truly I don’t understand what people like you get from contributing absolutely nothing yet eager like a roach to crawl through a crack and downvote people. Life’s that empty aye? These things used to anger me but not anymore. Please do me a favor and waste even more of your life by going back and downvoting every post I’ve ever made. Aussie Aussie Aussie oi Oi Oi. I doubt you’ve ever been to Australia but if you’re actually an Aussie I’m confident they are ashamed of you. Gday mate

    Let’s remember Red is just a freshman and she’s been injured. It will take time for her to get in the groove. We need to measure our expectations with Red just like we have to do with Taylor. Remember what Rick said about Taylor, she hits doubles not home runs! Red is going to be AWESOME! :)

    Agreed 100%. Red has been throwing for less than 2 weeks after being off for three months. And she is about to be thrown into the ringer. Give her some slack.

    I think SEC opponents will be saying “isn’t this girl supposed to be injured?” Why is she kicking our butts

    So, outbatjack. It is a Thursday night. Gators aren't playing. Nothing is going on unless you consider the FGCU/FSU game important (FSU leading 4-2). So....you've got some important news to share with us peons? There might be important news out there. I don't know. What have you got? I'm all ears.
