Volnation....
Some of us are about to get smacked with this hurricane here in Florida. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I have too much to move here in Ft Myers so the family and I are buttoned up tight, we are going to try and ride this one out like we did Ian.
Fingers crossed all is well.

I hope Buehler drills Tatis Jr. In the hip with first pitch tonight .😂😂

Can't imagine Buehler doing such a thing, he's such a low key, meek kind of guy. lol

I agree with @The Dog though, if you're plunking someone it's Manny, just on general principle. Could see them going at Profar too, honestly. Too as in instead, not in addition to.

Wonder what the Vegas line is on a hit batsman tonight?

I would love for this to be the case and like your optimism, but until Heup shows me he can adjust, hold slackers accountable, and step on someone's throat instead of being a Butch Jones against competition, I'm under the assumption and preparing for us to squeak by with a single digit win that is very underwhelming and just adds more questions to where this team and staff are headed all of a sudden compared to where they should be according to talent and what the national media sees...
We should be rising with this roster in year 4 and performing like a well- oiled machine, even with a young QB at this point in the season, and I don't see it yet. We have a veteran Oline performing like a D-2 undersized bunch of misfits the last two games when they should be flexing and gelling at this point... The fact that the national media has picked up on Heard's blatant laziness and half-ass play should be more disturbing at this point with this staff than anything else. We should be well past the Jeremy Banks type situations/Heard. These guys are now getting paid a lot of money in addition to a free education, so nut up and you are either 100% in or GTFO and go find someone else to waste their money on you.

Heup has worked his tail off and has done more with less, I will certainly give him that, and his new offense threw folks for a loop (bama home win), but real coaches have adjusted and smartened up, along with the fact that Heup now has talent galore up and down his roster.

I'm running out of excuses for the guy if things go off the rails Saturday. He may be in over his head and UCF may be more his speed if we don't see an abrupt adjustment and a focused team coming out and meticulously playing with their hair on fire wanting to bury FL.

We have proven we have the talent on our roster to whip anyone in the country, we just simply have to put it together and adjust during the game to our opponent's changes/adjustments. Heup has NOT done a good job of this so far. We've now seen that we have played some bad teams that made us look good. Maybe we are that good, but Saturday looked more like a regression to me and the fact that their coaches flat out-performed our coaches.

Hey Heup, did you not think about the fact that you had Slaughter and Nichols on the other team, who know everything about our offense and obviously spent plenty of time educating Arky on it, and this would have them anticipating our every move? Me, I'd adjust based on that fact alone... Heup? instead he trotted out there a watered down vanilla scared version, hoping not to lose. Thems the facts no one can argue with, you may not want to acknowledge them, but you can't argue them.

Really hoping this was a wakeup call for both the team and staff... really do. I am so sick of getting my hopes up that we've turned the corner. Because as of today, we certainly haven't.

Bama player grabs a QB's face mask after a play is dead, lifts the head, and then slams the QB's head into the turf. The officials did NOT eject the Bama player. (It's an ejection by at least 3 different rules that apply.)

Not only did that; they no-called even the penalty. "Legal" play. Nothing to see here.



That wasn't the final play, btw. Malachi Moore committed another ejection-worthy foul on the next play. They didn't eject him for that either. So he was shielded from sitting out the first half this week.

We’re beating Florida this weekend, B2A. And if we don’t, I’m going to jail. But we’re beating Florida this weekend, because I realllllly don’t need to go to jail. Let it be so.

It's being talked about all over the place by media who have sourced the info. Apparently the smoke about Heard not playing when he could is legit. It honestly looks like he's just going through the motions.

Or maybe he really is injured and playing at 60%, either way time for next man up. Maybe he's no better but get the younger guy who wants to be here reps.

Or maybe you should just stop making stuff up

Tatis is killing the ball, 6-1 Padres. Put a fork in the Dodgers ?

Dodgers have no starting pitching left at all. It is taking the joy out of watching baseball. The Dodgers have a full staff and a half on the shelf. 2 relievers out for the year. Three of the four starters we are using need to be shutdown. Padres have lost a starter as well. It is becoming a huge issue that I hope they can figure out how to handle better. I know a lot of the issues is the amount of torque guys put on the ball. I don’t know if there is any going back though.
