Durty just outed himself. Crazy that “Baby Gronk’s” dad posts on here!

Baby Gronk's 'cringe' Barstool Sports interview sparks conversation around 'sharenting' — when a parent uses their kid to go viral

Baby Gronk kept being interrupted by his dad during a Barstool podcast interview and people are now wondering if the dad is too involved.

Lol but seriously that’s awesome man! Hope to see him in O&B soon

That kid and his family are grade A douche bags.

And that's my son's dream. To play for Florida. Mine too.

Actually Southaven, MS. About 10 mins south of Memphis.
Top notch facility, all turf, etc.

Yes. That's where I grew up. Snowden Grove is the name of the ballpark. That whole area has grown a ton over the last 20 years and is still growing quite a bit. You'll have a lot of good restaurants to choose from.

I'm planning to head into Memphis and hit up some spots, especially if we don't make it out of pool play

Absolutely HUGE pickup right here for Gator baseball!!!



Kid was Freshman All-SEC and national Freshman All-American for Collegiate Baseball News at Bama this year. He's a 3B that hit .300 with 25 HR and a .729 Slugging Percentage this year.

Looks like we have our starting 3B for the next couple of years!

that is half of replacing the left side of the infield. Now just need a SS. No not Kurland with that arm.

It may be Shelton at SS as he was

• The No. 2 shortstop and No. 13 player overall from the talent-rich state of Florida according to Prep Baseball Report

With roster turnover it could be anyone. But usually the guys playing INF in college were all SS's in HS which is why I said no to Kurland, but admit I do not know what position he played in HS. No offense to Halter who is playing well right now and has actually hit more balls on the ground in the postseason than he did all year, I hope he returns as a grad asst. He is not a pro ball player, but he is a great teammate and always on top of what is going on. Will make a coach one day.

Can he bunt?

Y’all, Sully is the best recruiter in any sport that we’ve ever had. It’s insane how much talent he brings in.

Anybody who wants to fire him is high

Yup... they don't know how to lay down a blunt...

I don’t want him fired and do over react during bone headed decisions but hey like they say recruit top 5 classes and you don’t need a coach right?

I've heard "rumblings" on Twitter that there will be another big-name baseball transfer from the portal in the future. I don't know where to find much information about the baseball transfer portal outside of random Twitter posts, so I have no idea who that might mean but seems like Sully is setting us up to be strong again next year.

Edit: Here are the "rumblings" I was referring to. He is the Managing Editor of D1Baseball, so presumably a pretty good source.

Deric Fabian was recruited as a SS. If he can learn to hit the ball, he may be a good'un

Someone mentioned last week that we were at a disadvantage for a week to 10 days b/c no one was around campus to host any visitiors, to which I and others replied that the best recruiting tool you can have right now for the transfer portal people is for them to see the team on TV in Omaha. I think that on campus summer visit thing is a wee bit overrated. These guys want to play and they know what the rosters look like without coming to campus.
