Hmm, that's a lot of pressure on the new Aggie coach.
Vols be mad, no respect for the defending champs.
Miami?

 

D1Baseball is doing an tenth anniversay series on top college baseball people and events during that period. There was nothing Gator-related in their top player and top events articles, but Gators showed up well in the article about overall excellence. In naming the top coach since 2015, three of the eight writers named Sully, two named Vitello, the other three named one each. For the top program, six named Gators, one Vandy, one vouldn't make up his feeble mind. One example of a comment:

MARK ETHERIDGE: Since 2015, there have been nine College World Series and Florida has been a part of six of them, with five final fours, two CWS Finals, and a title. No program has sustained excellence to that degree.​

Past excellence does not guarantee future excellence, but the trend is nice.

 

Season starts Feb 14. I would think practice starts by next weekend.

 

Believe practice will start somewhere around the 24th.

Well fiddlesticks, it didn't copy and paste how I had hoped. Let me just post a link

 

1. Your post looks great to me.
2. 10th in the nation and 6th in the SEC. The SEC dominance is getting a little tiresome.

 

7 ACC teams in top 15
9 SEC in top 19

It would appear the south is playing pretty good baseball

 

Don't worry, @wingtee I got this...

Let's not get our hopes up until we see if we can win a midweek game. Last year we were barely above .500 and look at how the season ended up.

Go GATORS!
,WESGATORS

 

Unless we can ground them….

 

Well played

 

I like it when people on here that know the players and practices predict some starters so that I can tell my friends what "I" think and look good.....with that being said, how do we think the weekend starter roles begin and is there a dark horse that may rise as the season plays out? Also, whose going get the first chance to lose 3rd base?

 

Peterson
Coppola
Clements

Bosler or Lawson at 3B
I think Naddeu will spell time all over the infield as well.

 

Nadeau really seems to get on base and is solid defensively....want to see him get some quality innings. I'm hoping this lineup can cut down on the K's we've seen last 3-4 years, although I'm aware that seems to be going the way of the dinosaur

 

To be specific and maybe you have watched this as well at fall ball, Nadeau has the most relaxed hands on his swing at the plate. Because of that it gives him the best hand eye coordination to put bat on ball. The kid puts the ball in play and can hit it in all directions. It just makes him look more comfortable at the plate and covers all parts of the plate. He might not have much power but if Sully wants someone to drive in a run either from a sacrifice or go oppo, Nadeau gives us the best chance.

 

I think the staff really likes Lawson and will try to get him in the lineup as much as possible.

 

87–
You might make sure @wingtee has this information so that he doesn’t, well-you know….

 

You mean go the other way where there are base hit waiting ? Pencil him in the 2 slot and watch me hit and run till they drop

 

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 ….

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.
