    Bowden always gave us props - I don't get the impression they were that much alike. I respected Bowden, not Martin.

    Michigan's starter tonight is no slouch.

    If nothing else, it should let our current team know they are Omaha material, but they have to execute and not miss opportunities next year. Vandy should win this year w the lack of depth (even w the tougher bracket), but it's baseball and anything can happen.

    Ya, we ran the table and killed Stanford in the winner-take-all title game.

    Actually, I think it was our '99 team (the first year of the national seeds). Of course, I rarely hear the ESPN announcers name the team who was the last to do it.

    And if the NCAA won't even approve paying for another assistant, don't expect the scholarship issue to be addressed anytime soon, if ever. That said, Gino strikes me as having that Diaz edge to him. I think they will both be as creative as possible to mitigate those disadvantages as much as...

    I don't know the answer to that (although central and N Fl seem to put out more power arms), but I always wondered how UF seemed to get a few high draft choice guys to return for their final year. Our recent classes are an improvement though - just need more of them.

    I don't know what you are basing that on, because all I have seen are the mid-week and weekend rotation guys throwing once a week. Hardly a stressful situation that injuries can be blamed on.

    He pinch hit for him, but like Fraser used to say "if the pinch hitter was better, he'd be starting". And he has the power to leave the yard, so you hope the pitcher misses his spot (high fastball obviously), and he runs into one.

    You are either a troll or new to the program. He's done more with less than just about any pitching coach in the country year in and year out.

    Whatever - he only hit .340 as a true freshman w a near .900 OPS. He had a bad regional - it happens. Mangum was a 4 year starter and yet was 0 for 18 entering our game last night.

    If I am reading their ages correctly, it looks like Cecconi, Vilar and Lala will be draft eligible as sophomores (but Gates and Del Castillo will not).

    Ya; was Suarez a sophomore eligible kid because of his age the year he decided to come back?

    He should. Since he red-shirted, I believe he'd still have some leverage next year since he'd have another year of eligibility.

    Ok; that makes sense as today is Round 1 and 2 and the compensations picks (78 total picks today), which I guess puts Lugo right around the bubble.

    Interesting take. You think McFarlane and Eskew are solid commits at their current draft projections? Any chance Veliz and/or McKendry return?

    Loved the fight in the guys after Friday. Expectation has to be Omaha next year and contend in '21. Anything less will be a disappointment. This experience can only help. Congrats to Gino, the coaches and players on a much improved team. Fingers crossed on some slippage of some of our top...

    Looks like Noles, Duke and NC could be the first three teams to advance to Supers - smh. At least the conference is representing.

    I agree they were somewhat deserving, but the tournament probably put them over the top. Lots of empty seats at their game vs A&M today - not a good look.
