    I would expect Sully to “piggyback” Peterson and Caglianone on this start/game.

    Yes, more rain than yesterday and about 10 degrees colder with a North wind. 49 degrees at the house with steady light rain. Radar projection shows rain into early afternoon in the best case. Not sure how late they can start the game... but Noon start looks questionable.

    Yes JJH, St John's travels from cold snowy Queens, NY to what they hope is sunny Florida to get three games in and mostly sit in their hotel for two days-- I know I would be frustrated. They did get the W over the #2 team in the country.

    Not the opening weekend everyone wanted for sure but it is what it is….

    Weather will always be center stage for our Gators baseball.

    On the baseball side of things—it was one game.
    No need for wholesale changes or panic. The simple facts are the pitching wasn’t sharp (8 walks and 1 HBP) along with pitching in hitter’s counts vs pitching in pitcher’s counts—and the hitting could have been better.

    Again, breathe in—breathe out, it’s baseball—it’s a marathon not a sprint.

    IMO, with all of the key parts this team had to replace, a #2 ranking is crazy. This team will hopefully develop into that type of team but there will be some growing pains along the way.

    Whoever issues the rankings lazily just gives everyone the same ranking they ended the previous year. No adjustments for change of roster or anything else.
