As the College Baseball Season draws ever so closer to it's finish, we had an opportunity to take in a Regional Game over the weekend in Tallahassee, Florida. The Florida State Seminoles went unbeaten at home during Regionals, taking down UCF both Saturday and Sunday in the process. The Noles will now host a very underrated UConn Team this weekend for a chance at the College World Series. 




FSU's biggest rival, the Florida Gators, certainty shocked Son Los Marlins as well as the Oklahoma State Cowboys, taking down the home Team and winning 3 Games in 2 days in Stillwater, Oklahoma. One could have made the argument UF shouldn't even have been selected for the Tournament to begin with, after a very disappointing Regular Season. Now, after certainty earning they're way into the Super Regionals, the Gators will travel to play a very good Clemson Squad in the Carolinas. 





Without question the biggest underdog Team still alive heading into these Super Regionals has to be the Evansville Purple Aces. Yes, the Evansville Purple Aces are 2 Wins in Knoxville, Tennessee away from the College World Series. All after Evansville was able to take down College Baseball powerhouse ECU in the jungle not once, but twice.





Speaking of powerhouses this year in the NCAA world, a much larger force resides in Athens, Georgia, the home of the Georgia Bulldogs, whom too went unbeaten during Regional play in the Peach State. Georgia will now host the NC State Wolfpack for a chance at being 1 of 8 Teams remaining.





The other 4 Super Regionals will feature the mighty North Carolina Tar Heels hosting West Virginia. Heavy favorites in the Texas A&M Aggies taking on Oregon in College Station. Kansas State at ranked Virginia. While one of the more intriguing matchups during these Super Regionals will take place in Lexington, Kentucky, when the Wildcats play against the sneaky Oregon Sate Beavers.




It all shapes up to be a riveting finish to what's been a fun College Baseball Season. ⚾️.

Distrust, can you blame us

  From the Luis Arraez Trade on May 03rd, having Tim Anderson become the only Free Agent signing during an entire Off-Season, igniting the Franchise into yet another Fire Sale. There's a reason, or 2, or 3 Marlins President Peter Bendix has earned much distrust within the Fish fanbase. Not even mentioning the man/circumstances whom brought the P.O.B.O to Miami was Owner Bruce Sherman and his handling of former Marlins G.M Kim Ng. So when Bendix strikes a move during the Winter Meetings, dealing Marlins Home Run Leader Jake Burger to Texas for 3 Prospects, it's no surprise fans show so much displeasure. Especially when you come to find out the move wasn't even money related for the low revenue Marlins, as Burger will not be Arbitration Eligible until 2026, meaning his '25 Salary will be closer to the Major League minimum. So why deal Burger if you're Bendix & the Fish? You've heard a lot about the move potentially clearing up space at positions like 1B/DH for...

  The Rematch for the Heavyweight Title in the sport of Boxing is set for Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk defends his crown against the best big-man in Boxing of this generation, Tyson Fury. After such a closely contested Fight this past May, which saw Usyk narrow out a Split-Decision, there's high anticipation for Saturday in the desert. Less than 7 months ago we witnessed the first 'Undisputed' Heavyweight Championship Boxing Match since 1999, which saw Usyk nearly stop Fury in Rd. 9, after a flurry of combinations to the kisser had the 6'9 Englishman on queer street. The change in tide during the Bout however, came when it seemed Fury was in complete control during the middle Rounds, following massive uppercuts (including to the body) which seemed to really hurt the former Light Heavyweight Champ. Fury also recovered brilliantly in similar fashion which has made him a legend in the Sport during many a Contest, howbeit ...

  As the Marlins completed their penultimate Road Trip of 2024, going 1-6 against two mediocre Teams of the National League in Pittsburgh & Washington, they'll now return Home to face the Club with the 2nd best record in all of Baseball in the L.A Dodgers starting tomorrow night. The Fish now stand at 55-95, a whopping 40 Games Under .500 with 12 Games remaining. The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp still have a week to go on their 2024 Calendar, the last Marlins Minor League Affiliate with Game action remaining. Lefthander Dale Stanavich will get a Promotion for this final week from Double-A Pensacola, who played their final Contest of 2024 yesterday. Stanavich put up some solid numbers out of the Blue Wahoos Bullpen and was a part of the 2023 Jupiter Hammerheads Title run last year. Speaking of the '23 Hammerheads, fellow Lefty in that Jupiter Bullpen Evan Taylor himself had a solid campaign. Racking up 52 Strikeouts in 44.1 Innings for High-A Beloit, to the tune of 2.84 ERA.
