We got some pop this year...
JJ's got a slugging % of .947. He's got 18 total bases, but only 5 RBIs ?? Dalton's got .765 slugging % but 9 RBIs.
Whole team BA = .353 .... We've got 4 backup guys with .500+ BAs. = nobody's pulling us down at the plate.
Pitching = 1.8 ERA.

I’ve been pro Sully from the get go. Getting to Omaha is very difficult, which he’s shown he’s very good at. Once you’re there, any team can win in double elimination tournament when they are all so good. The 1 seed rarely wins.
It’s not about being right or wrong for me. It just felt really good to get that champship, especially before criminoles. I don’t expect us to repeat, but I like our chances of winning another in the next 3-4 years.
Gators shutout UNF 4-0.. Young pitchers look good..
Butler looked pretty sharp.. I think Leftwich is going to be a good one...
Sully is a terrible in game manager, to the point where I also thought he'd never win a title. Things like the 2nd baseman covering 2nd with a left handed pull hitter up, bunting when we should hit and hitting when we should bunt boggle the mind. But many college coaches, and quite a few at the big league level, aren't any better. Girardi and Mattingly, for example, are just as bad if not worse. What separates Sully is that no one is better when it comes to recruiting and developing pitching talent, and he emphasizes defense. Lots of titles at every level have been won with pitching and defense.Unfortunately, Sully's one of the worst small ball managers in college baseball.
Seven straight hits and five runs with 2 out!!The absolutely abused the opposing pitcher in the 5th. The poor guy's ERA must have been 45.
What's the story on Deacon Liput? I may be mistaken, but thought I heard he was suspended indefinitely.
