(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

Digging out the old scorebook and getting ready for tonight. One of my absolute favorite things to do is score a baseball or softball game. Fun and it brings into better focus everything that is happening.

 

I can’t believe it’s only three hours away! Is this real life?

 

No pressure. She will be great....tonight....next week...or next month but it will happen. She could slump at the start and it wouldn't change my opinion.

 

She better win game MVP or we’re going to run Rick off this board on a rail

 

No surprises on the starting lineup except maybe Walsh at first base instead of Ava. The Stat page doesn’t list a DH. Possibly Ava?

edit: I stand corrected, the box score has Ava as DH batting 7th. Schumaker batting 2nd. That’s good news if coach has that much confidence in her.

 

I apologize but omg omg omg! I’m so excited!

 

I’m watching the USF Illinois State game currently on ESPN+ for anyone who wants to get a quick look at USF or their facility before our game at 6pm. Anyone except Ocalaman that is! JK!

 

Lineup:

 

That said today is the first day of work. It’s going to take a lot of work for these players and this coaching staff to get where they want to be and where us lunatics want them to be. Despite the talent there will hopefully be some challenges and tribulations along the way. I’ve got faith in CTW, his coaching staff and these players. I think this season could be extra special! I hope to see a few games live this season and finally meet some of you irl. Go Gators! P.S. I’m so excited lol!

 

Tough, tough SEC. We go 18-6 and I'm a happy camper.

 

They aren't pitching Benning. Probably saving her for a game they could win and it likely won't be this one.

 

Keagan's body is vastly different than when she was a pudgy 14 year old kid. She has put in the work.

 

LMFAO!!!!!!

 

And the legend begins lol!!!

 

I assume I'm still allowed on the board. Thank you, Taylor.

 

Props to the Gators softball strength and conditioning program. I’m noticing a drastic change in some of the players. They look sooo much sleeker and stronger. The other thing that really caught my attention was Rick was right about Taylor lol!
