Don’t have a good feeling at all about this one. Like last night, several squandered opportunities. Xavier is a big inning away from ending VU’s season.

We need our bats to come alive against Xavier. Get a big lead so we can cruise and not destroy our pitching, what we have left of it. Weather could be a factor. 50% chance of thunderstorms from 2pm-8pm. Would love to beat Xavier then have a weather delay that forces a potential doubleheader Monday....

Yeeeeeah…I think they’re done. So hard to come out of the losers bracket. Not impossible, but winning TWO tomorrow and a third on Monday will be extremely difficult.

Too many missed opportunities. Two more charged balls after Maldo made it interesting, but not enough juice. Too little too late. So many runners LOB.

My guess is we wouldn't see Carter until Omaha at the earliest, and even then it's questionable. I’d be surprised to see him back at all this season. After missing so much time due to injury, it would seem imprudent to throw him into action in Omaha. Maybe he could come out of the bullpen, but I wo...

Nice hara-kiri reference

I think the question should be should we want him back? He's setting a great example for every freshman coming in. Take what the school has provided you, turn 1 of your years into a decent season and then play the NIL wheel of fortune. Maybe you come back maybe you do not, make announcements you ar...

Pretty sure you’re the only one who feels this way on both counts. Certainly the latter point, anyway. Ty is an all-SEC caliber player.

Am I the only one that feels kind of "used" in this whole process? But, don't miss my overall feeling, which is that we'd be very happy for him to don the Black & Gold again next year.... I hear ya. However, given the current NIL landscape, I can’t say I blame the kid for handling the...

Nice breakdown! However, I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss next year’s defense. Losing Robbins hurts (and—to a lesser extent—so does losing QMB, though he did rebound reasonably well down the stretch with Robbins out). Still, at positions 2-4 the team will be longer (mostly in the 6’6-6’7+ range) a...

If VU doesn’t receive a national seed they were hosed, because they certainly earned one.

Ok. Get JD out.

Need to get JD out. Solid outing, but it’s time.

Well. Florida trying to make it interesting.

E…B…j!!!
Huge rundown snag and having fun out there. This team has some swagger today!

My goodness this game is a thing of beauty.

Reports of VU’s death due to lack of pitching depth have been greatly exaggerated.

Espinal!!! Huge start!

Dang! Great throw from left field. Still. I like pressing the issue and forcing a play the way that inning had trended. Great start!
