To my baseball guys, Frank Frangie keeps saying Tyler Dyson is healthy and throwing great. He said he's back to early season form. If so, why isn't Sully playing him? Is Frangie just blowing smoke again?

You still can't tell the angle at which the ball was falling. Like I said, you can tell it had a good amount of topspin because of the type of hit it was. If we had a camera looking down the wall, obviously we'd know. Either way it's immaterial, because the ball went over the fence.
Guess we have to agree to disagree. A shot down the wall would provide a definitive answer, but I see no way such a shot could exist. I have just watched it twice more. The ball probably wouldn't hit the wall if it were dropping faster than a Herb Score cirve

His problem seems to have been more mental than anything, in spite of a slight shoulder issue. I would guess O'Sullivan has been reluctant to take a chance on him with the season on the line. He'll probably get thrown in the fire in Omaha, especially if we end up battling out of the loser's bracket at some point.

Since when does Frangie not blow smoke? For a UF grad, he's been nothing but a Nole sympathizer. I find it more tolerable to listen to Rick Ballou, an FSU grad on that same station. Is David Lamm still around?
Oh, nice av maheo

You are right on my friend. I have felt that way for years. I refuse to listen Frangie.

You must be talking about Jeff "CarDon'tKnow". His play be play skills are as masterful as his talk radio skills.

Inevitably.

That’s his verbal crutch. He often uses it when he should say “eventually” and just throws it in there while he’s waiting for his brain to catch up to his mouth.

I really wanted a picture of the ball on that final HR going off his glove. I have seen it on TV but really wanted it to remember that this can be a game of less than inches. We will need better play to get where we all would like to, that being a repeat.

Saturday night with a 7-2 lead in the 8th would've been the perfect time to throw him out there. If he's not ready, fine; but if he is ready, Sully's an idiot for not throwing him out there and letting him knock the rust off.

After the great success of the UF baseball program under Kevin O'Sullivan, I think it's idiotic to call him an idiot. He knows the team and the players better than anyone else and his judgments have worked extremely well. I trust his decisions.

REQUEST: If anyone has a youtube link to the full game video of this game 3, please post it here.

I know it's viewable on ESPN3 but I wanted to actually download it. Thanks in advance.

Sully has had wonderful success and is a great recruiter and developer of talent, but some of his in-game decisions are not good, and as someone who knows baseball, I don't think there's even an argument about it. Things like having a 2nd basemen cover a steal attempt with a lefty pull hitter up; playing Maldanado in RF late in a game when he couldn't lift his arm above his head; and throwing Byrne 2 innings with a 7-2 lead, knowing he would most likely need to lean on him later in the series. In Dyson's case, wouldn't it make sense to give a little action with a safe lead instead of "throwing him in the fire" at the CWS? I wouldn't trade him for anyone else, but that doesn't mean he's infallible. To blindly follow and not question obvious mistakes is idiotic.

Gator fans, please don't ever change. I'll bet buffalo was calling up SOS back in the day and complaining that we didn't run enough.
