    We are the Florida Gators. Our approach at the plate has been less than stellar.

    Still in shock that we allowed 4 runs last inning

    Interesting to see Dale Thomas not to try to hit home run and be patient at the plate…

    I would imagine he was referencing YOUR comment that we were getting dominated by a soft tosser, which was demeaning an excellent pitcher. You are all over the freakin place as usual.

    So if not on 7, who's to blame for year in and year out their inability to bunt runners over? Or get to Omaha and a park, where fly balls go to die, and swing for the fences.

    Only second guess I have is Neely usage. Use him first in the high leverage spot or save him.

    Our offensive approach is fine. The boys are going to swing like they always do. The other team is trying too

    Quick hook. That is Sully's biggest issue.

    Small ball is obsolete. It’s not just Sully

    Easy to be patient when nothing was remotely clsoe

    We had mostly not quality at bats tonight as fly balls aren’t going to work. How many bad swings did you see? Lead off guy started by swinging at ball that almost hit him.

    Remember with regards to drop and lift/launch angle up is usually out in a big ballpark

    Never save bullets. Play your best and adjust as needed.
