I'll take them if you still have them. I messaged you.

Thank you!

If they still available, I'll take them. Wouldn't mind taking the wife and son today on this rainy day.

Looks like they are wearing a new grey jersey. Interesting.

I am very excited for the pregame. Will be exciting as hell. Glad we picked these uniforms. Love it. Now for the game, I have a feeling I will be heading for the exits at Half time. 

You might as well not bother going to the game. You have mentioned leaving at halfime in like 4 different threads. 

Stay the whole game, enjoy the day, win or lose.

Forecast for this weekend has changed as of recent. Only 40% on Sat and Sun moved up to 70%. 

Should be great day Sat!

9am. Smoking 4 slabs of ribs!!

Power dip was the bigger issue.  I was told he worked on hitting more balls the other way to cut down on strikeouts, but that didn't work and the power wasn't the same.   Killed his draft stock

We'll agree to disagree. Show me any player drafted this year that struckout more than the amount of hits that they got. You'll be hard pressed to find many if any.

I'm a bit surprised no team took a flyer on Brutcher and Cantu.  Hopefully they come back for 1 more season.  Having to replace those 2 bats would be an issue.  The O was pretty good for the year, now we just need to get better and deeper in the Pitching depth and we can make a jump back to respectable in the middle of the conference

I am not surprised on Brutcher. He looked like a complete totally different hitter at the plate this year then the previous seasons. He looked totally lost at times. You won't get drafted striking out as many times as he did this year. He struck out 86 times versus only getting 67 hits. That is not what scouts are looking for on a college hitter facing college pitching. He obviously has a very big hole in his swing which college pitchers are exploiting. Imagine facing pro pitching with better stuff and much better at finding hitters weaknesses.

Let's hope he can figure out that issue.

Wonder if the Brady bleacher seats gonna be used for this game

The Brady bleachers are supposed to be gone this season according to my BUCS rep. Thank goodness!

All the pitchers will be available for Thurs. The only pitcher that most likely will not be ready by Thus will be Hunter Mink. All the rest pretty much threw the equivalent of a bullpen session yesterday.

Looks like ECU is going to pitching by committee and hoping to slip past us while saving their best arms. Their starter today only made three starts this season. Maybe we can make that backfire, but if we do, we've already used Cebert and Hunter Mink. BTW: Great job so far by Mink. Cebert only lasted an inning and a third.

They actually ended up throwing all of their top pitchers. The only reason they started the one pitcher was because he was the most rested. To contrary belief, this was a huge game for ECU. They were playing to be a host seed in the regionals. Losing to us today, pretty much ruins them being a host. Their RPI dropped to 28 by losing to us today. Just clearing up those who thought this wasn't a big game for ECU

Pitching is beyond terrible. Each game, our starter can’t go more than 3 innings and then have to constantly use multiple bullpen pitchers who get hit hard or can’t throw strikes.

Surprised Mohl relied so much on returning young pitchers rather than Transfers or JUCO 

 

No offense. Did you watch the game today? Pitching was outstanding. Not sure what game you watched. Playing against pretty much all top 20 teams the first 2 weeks. I think the young pitchers are showing some great promise. 

Just sent you a DM

Started pulling out my Tailgate Gear (it has been 2 years) and I realized that my tent is done

Any recent sightings in the Tampa Area for USF Tent's for sale?

I checked the Sam's Website and could not find anything

I was at Sam's yesterday North Dale Mabry. Pretty sure they had 1 or 2 of these tents left. 

Good Luck!

Besides losing Jasiak, we also had 2 players that had a huge impact last year get suspended for some time during the season and ultimately kicked off the team during conf play that didn't help much. 

Looking to see how we rebound next year with some talent coming back and some big time recruits coming in.

Go Bulls!

They were down 7-0 in the first inning.    The announcers said Ericksen should "move on" because Corrick didn't start the FSU game?   

No. They said it was the dumbest decision. Maybe your feed didn't ever come up but that's all they talked about for the first 2 inn this game 

That was of course until we all found out she was injured.

It's insane to want one of the most successful coaches in our school's history to "move on" because we get run by the number 2 team in the country.  I don't care if she is injured or not ... he knows what he is doing

It was said in the 1st inn. The comment had nothing to do with losing the game. Most of the comment was made out of frustration cuz we know there is no chance to beat FSU without Corrick.. But I still stand by if she wasn't injured it would have been the worst decision ever. 

Every announcer today has been saying the same thing. So I wasn't too far off.

But it's all a moot point now seeing that we know she is injured.

Moving on.

I believe what you said was it is time for him to move on .... that's insane

If she wasn't injured.

Corrick pulled after 1 inning. Still no stream so I didn’t see what happened. 

She's hurt. So I apologize to Ken. Looks like she is in pain standing in the dugout. Season is over.

We don't know all the circumstances.  What I do know is that Eriksen's knowledge of the game and how to coach it far surpasses the cumulative knowledge of everyone on this board.  

Corrick pitching. I guess you can throw out the injured card. Lol. 

It was a bonehead decision by Ken. Let's hope a miracle happens. Would have been much easier to put our best last game and see what happened. Oh well 

Go Bulls!

And I agree that we don't know the 100% circumstance. That's why I said if she isn't injured,(which she definitely didn't look that way in last night's game) he better have a really good explanation. And even the best minds can over think a situation and make a bad decision.

Not really.   If Corrick is injured, his hands are tied.  He looked defeated.  I'll speculate we won't see Corrick again.

Don't think she is injured.
