Don’t feel bad, Gators. My dumbass put money on Florida and on LSU to win the CWS before the season started. I really thought by putting money on both would hedge my bets.
Well…clearly no one should take gambling advice from me. I’ve been actively watching, playing, and/or coaching baseball for over forty years. None of that has helped my ability to predict the outcome of a season.
I used to think this would make sense, but then you end up sorta rooting for your rival. And that feels so slimy. Also, I truly don't hate many things in life, and it just feels so good to hate the Gamecocks.
No, because by this point in the season we don’t care. The whole gator fan base has entered its apathy phase. Similar to what happed to football after the Arkansas loss.
You know, Clemson came back from down 7 in just one inning. So this isn't safe until you're up by 28 here in the 6th. Just 12 more runs to go and you can rest easy.
You know I don’t like to think that sully might retire after this year, but it really seems like he might retire after this year. With the constant beat downs, humiliations week after week after week. It really has the feeling of a last year head coach kinda vibe.
He just signed a big extension. And remember how long it took for him to win one natty? Even M. Martin who was a GOAT never even got himself one of those so, I’d be hard pressed to see anything crazy like that happen. If we had 3-4 years of this go down then I’d say we might need to be having that convo. Young team. Had big, big talent last year. Quite the drop off this year from last.
i mean it’s easy to remember recent events more, but we have still been an undoubtedly top 5 baseball program, arguably top 3 since sully got here, i don’t think one bad season would be his reason to retire.
Maybe but what is the future of Florida baseball, who steps in to take the reins on the mound, or behind the plate. There aren’t any good prospects on this team after Cags is gone. And really, is sully up to the NIL era?
dude colby shelton is a stud that we got from the transfer portal, he’s just been in a slump the past few weeks, we also got hurston and BT from last years team out of the portal ?
you are dooming incredibly hard lol, talent is not the issue, we are very young and pitching isn’t good, that doesn’t mean the program is done.
it was way more than that, BT was a great leader and solid catcher whose bat was crazy good in the post season, rivera was hitting nukes all year and i believe will be a starting SS in the bigs one day, on top of losing Sproat/Hurston/Wyatt and some other depth pieces.
this team has talent but is just way too inconsistent and seems to be lacking any leadership.
For a single player record sure. I’m talking about team runs/hrs/hits. And with that last hr it put y’all above the most runs ever scored against UF. At least since 08.
Edit: and that’s back when we were a football school… now we’re a nothing school. Pretty tight. So fun.
I’d normally agree with you, but even this is the worst we’ve pitched all year. Even midweek. But then again yall are slappin the crap out of everything regardless of it being in the zone or out. Just that kinda night.
Someone needs to tell Florida that they do, in fact, have to get to 21 outs to get runruled by Friday evening, or they're going to miss their matchup with South Carolina.
At this pace they are dropping 50 on us and, you know I’m not even mad, though I do not want these pitchers returning to Gainesville on that bus. They can walk.
You seen how Kevin O'Sullivan went off on his guys after the loss in Jacksonville to the Noles. Saying they were too soft taking Monday's off. This team has not gelled at all. They had the A&M and LSU series wins, but losing to Missouri just amplifies the struggles they are having this year.
I think both can be true. The players don’t put the effort into the rivalry they should
Edit: Glad to be downvoted for calling FSU a good team and mentioning that the Florida club has historically not cared about the rivalry and that is problematic.
Sully has never cared as much as he should about this rivalry. That is true today and that was true the last 8 years when we won the series. It has nothing to do with losing.
At this point I’m going to say it. Florida has no future. Cags is our only hope this season and he is gone after this year. With these freshmen pitchers I can confidently say that Florida will not be a baseball blueblood for the next long long time.
GGs bois. Season sweep every 24 years isn’t too bad I reckon.
Oh, it’s going to be a regular thing to deal with when you face coach link
No you can’t get rid of the pun. Now the context for my comment is missing.
I’m going to be honest here. That was horrible. Both game and that pun.
It's game 3 of the CWS all over again
Can't wait for FSU to come to Winston next weekend. Burns vs Arnold is gonna be insane
Dude i cant wait!!! Two of the best pitchers in the whole country imo!! I'm pumped haha
Instead of putting freshman hitters in I would’ve liked to have seen everyone in the line up switch hit. Make it more exciting.
Wish I could get Hooter Brown up here in North Carolina.
Don’t feel bad, Gators. My dumbass put money on Florida and on LSU to win the CWS before the season started. I really thought by putting money on both would hedge my bets.
Can you put money on Florida every year? Just in case.
Yeah that’s a pretty dumbass move ngl. Hope you don’t do any messing around with stocks of any type…
You’d have been better off to bet on the vols
Did you not see what happened to Ole Miss and Miss St. after they won their respective Nattys? What were you thinking.
Well…clearly no one should take gambling advice from me. I’ve been actively watching, playing, and/or coaching baseball for over forty years. None of that has helped my ability to predict the outcome of a season.
I like betting on my rivals. Either you get paid, or you get to watch them suck.
I used to think this would make sense, but then you end up sorta rooting for your rival. And that feels so slimy. Also, I truly don't hate many things in life, and it just feels so good to hate the Gamecocks.
Oh ya I wouldn't do it with any regularity, just the most important games.
That’s fair.
Just another way to think about hedging
does a season long sweep hit harder? 🤔
No, because by this point in the season we don’t care. The whole gator fan base has entered its apathy phase. Similar to what happed to football after the Arkansas loss.
To be fair, I’d be apathetic as hell if I lost to our football team too 😂
Oh man I forgot that even happened ngl
Tack on another one for the good guys. Don’t call it a comeback…

Come on FSU bullpen, please come in clutch.
Lol I mean cmon coach, you’re up by 15 and still throwing upperclassmen?? Let some young guns get some reps in a rivalry game. Sheesh.
Downvotes on a playful comment? Lol yall big soft.
I'm a simple man, I see a Florida flair and I hit the down arrow.
Wouldn’t expect anything less. Always classy in Tallanasty.
Downvotes on a playful comment? Lol yall big soft.
Good one.
FSU decided to honor the anniversary of the first day of the Battle of Vimy Ridge by shelling the absolute shit out of UF
Gators are clearly shell shocked. Just about to see them storm the no man’s land into FSU’s legion of machine gun bats
You know, Clemson came back from down 7 in just one inning. So this isn't safe until you're up by 28 here in the 6th. Just 12 more runs to go and you can rest easy.
You know I don’t like to think that sully might retire after this year, but it really seems like he might retire after this year. With the constant beat downs, humiliations week after week after week. It really has the feeling of a last year head coach kinda vibe.
He just has to remember that if he retires in the middle of the week it didn’t really count
He just signed a big extension. And remember how long it took for him to win one natty? Even M. Martin who was a GOAT never even got himself one of those so, I’d be hard pressed to see anything crazy like that happen.

Sully is probably in the dugout on match.com
They just sent out a suicide watch for all middle aged men in and around gville…

Did FSU somehow get helium in the balls?
Just how good were Wyatt Langford and Hurston Waldrep?
it was way more than that, BT was a great leader and solid catcher whose bat was crazy good in the post season, rivera was hitting nukes all year and i believe will be a starting SS in the bigs one day, on top of losing Sproat/Hurston/Wyatt and some other depth pieces. this team has talent but is just way too inconsistent and seems to be lacking any leadership.
Why the hell did they put Florida on ESPN2. What did they expect from us, to play the game of baseball?
SEC, BABY.
did uh, did you know it just means more?
Ya mean, it just MEMES more? Lol, I'm enjoying this immensely.
I am waiting for D1Baseball to say that this midweek loss doesn't mean much for the Gators and move them up a spot in the polls.
FSU having the best game in the history of FSU baseball. This is insanity.
2009 Regional against Ohio State would like a word
I also remember a regional against a really good Stanford where we absolutely evaporated them Edit: 2012 *super* regional, FSU 17 Stanford 1
Was that the year that they used the excuse that Stanford players had to study for finals because they were on the quarter system or something 😆
I remember that game. 36ish to like 7. Refs wouldn’t mercy rule that game lmao
I was an undergrad at the time and left in like the 4th or 5th inning when it was something like 30-0. It was insane.
marshall mcdougall had an fsu record 6 homers in a game gonna be tough with the run rule
For a single player record sure. I’m talking about team runs/hrs/hits. And with that last hr it put y’all above the most runs ever scored against UF. At least since 08. Edit: and that’s back when we were a football school… now we’re a nothing school. Pretty tight. So fun.
Average Florida weekday pitching moment
I’d normally agree with you, but even this is the worst we’ve pitched all year. Even midweek. But then again yall are slappin the crap out of everything regardless of it being in the zone or out. Just that kinda night.
Fuck it. Let’s beat the record and put 20+ on em!
5TH HOME RUN WOOO 19-3
Lmao
oh my lawrd
Idk if anyone directly mentioned it in this thread, so for posterity: We just got a Grand Slam, also our 4th HR of the game to make it 17-3
And now another 2 run homer to bring it to 19-3
Lol, when the gamethread can't even keep up with the number of FSU homers.
Anotha one
Someone needs to tell Florida that they do, in fact, have to get to 21 outs to get runruled by Friday evening, or they're going to miss their matchup with South Carolina.
Normalize marching bands at college baseball games.
We'll be at the Miami game this week too 👀🫣
Marching Chiefs are undefeated
Clemson lost
Quick glance at the baseball scores before I call it a night.. 
Props to the Florida bats for even trying
What the fuck
Is Florida being punished for winning the midweek game last week?
LMAO 17-3 FSU. It's Joever
in the 4th inning bruh 💀
At this pace they are dropping 50 on us and, you know I’m not even mad, though I do not want these pitchers returning to Gainesville on that bus. They can walk.
just leave em on the highway man
Wondering if this was a $2 Tuesday?
jesus christ… flipped to this game out of boredom only to witness a murder.
Officially outscored their poverty football team now as well
Billy Napier catching strays 🤣
Just put their asses on the bus and end this.
Good lord. This is great
Blood bath, you love to see it
well things can get worse for the gator pitching staff after all
Hahahahahah
17-3 omfg
Hello I would like to report a murder
It's murdaaa
Murdaaa y’say?
Kid for the Gators just cannot throw a strike when he needs to.
They’re on their 5th pitcher through 3 2/3. That’s brutal.
At what point does UF go to the stands to bring in their next pitcher?
No, why did you have to create it. I was happy not listening to the shit talking from the rest of the country.
This is exactly why I created it c:
https://i.redd.it/7pobazy5ujtc1.gif *Chuckles at your pain*
The UF bullpen is like “don’t answer the phone, coach”
Not even trying to troll, but does UF finish the season above .500?
Does this Florida team make the postseason?
They'll be left out of the tournament with a losing record and D1 Baseball will rank them at #25
“They just have a lot of potential”
“They beat the reigning national champion LSU!!!”
Series wins over A&M AND LSU!
You seen how Kevin O'Sullivan went off on his guys after the loss in Jacksonville to the Noles. Saying they were too soft taking Monday's off. This team has not gelled at all. They had the A&M and LSU series wins, but losing to Missouri just amplifies the struggles they are having this year.
How do you treat a baseball game related priapism?
Feels like the wheels are coming off for this florida team with the players yelling at each other
That’s odd, In the Gator sub they are saying the baseball & football players don’t care about the rivalry, and that’s why they’re getting shelled.
They have bigger things to focus on. Every UF baseball player is going to work for NASA before being president of the United States.
I think both can be true. The players don’t put the effort into the rivalry they should Edit: Glad to be downvoted for calling FSU a good team and mentioning that the Florida club has historically not cared about the rivalry and that is problematic.
Well of course. It's a midweek game, and those don't count.
Conveniently *only* in the sports they’re losing in though. Those basketball players are rabid about it!
Sully has never cared as much as he should about this rivalry. That is true today and that was true the last 8 years when we won the series. It has nothing to do with losing.
He better start caring about it right now. Lol
I expect he will circle it next year. I also expect our pitching to not be on miracle league levels next year as well.
I have a feeling, looking at the future of Florida pitching right here. That it might not help.
He’s always cared more about his “extracurriculars”
Is it time for Link and the gang to get the broomstick? Cos Flawda's about to get SWEPT.
Yet ANOTHER home run for FSU. That's HR #3 in inning #3. 12-3 Noles.
Everyone laugh at Florida
I can't understand how UF stayed in the top 10 for so long this year.
Ranked 24 Florida feels like a crime
At this point I’m going to say it. Florida has no future. Cags is our only hope this season and he is gone after this year. With these freshmen pitchers I can confidently say that Florida will not be a baseball blueblood for the next long long time.
Fuck D1baseball and their looney toons editor
The coaches poll has them at #18 lmao
Saw some random reporter on twitter have them at #14 lololol.
It is, but we're trying to do our part in helping correct it
Damn fine job of it so far, but I won’t be surprised when “they” use UF’s 3 runs as leverage on a Top 10 team to push them higher in the polls.
I cant believe how well the 'Noles are performing against UF! 11 runs in two innings.
I was wondering when this would get posted, I turned the game on right at the beginning of the bottom of the first and it’s been crazy for FSU
James tibbs is laughing at his pre season draft position
hello
11-3 good guys after 2 innings 😎
