Well Gator baseball kicks off the season by hosting a reasonably well known name is college baseball, Long Beach State. The Gators are ranked in the top 5 in most of the rankings but lots of question marks about the team are out there in probably all areas. They have the potential to be very good but will likely struggle at times due to youth, inconsistent pitching and hitting. But improving and being good at the end of the season is the goal. There has been more off season baseball talk on here than normal, primarily due to the new stadium talk and the money being spent (or should I say wasted in many people's view). Either way it is good to have an opening series against a team that we do not normally see, has a good baseball history and potentially a good team. If nothing else Long Beach State's baseball team might have the best mascot name in the biz: Dirtbags!!!!. For that reason alone, I am glad they are invading the MAC. Play Ball!!!!!!!!
