Here are some random thoughts from my head regarding FSU Baseball:

• FSU Baseball will frustrate you at times, but overall it’s not worth complaining about teams that win so many games each season. Face it, you could be a Mets fan and really suffer.
• Mike Martin is frustrating at times, but not nearly as frustrating as some would like to claim.
• The first base side of Dick Howser Stadium has a great a view, but you pay for it when the sun is out.
• Nole Dogs are tasty, but I miss the M&M’s Ice Cream Sandwiches.
• Statistics will never give you a moment like Danny Wardell hitting a bomb and releasing a whole lot of frustration with a big grin at home plate when greeted by his teammates.
• Not all decisions on a baseball field should be driven by which guy has the better FIP, especially early in the season and at the college level.
• Football likes to schedule two “practice” games to start the season now. Baseball was ahead of the curve and has done that for years (sorry VMI and Hofstra).
• Diet Coke at Dick Howser Stadium is never going to taste good. Of course, some of you would tell me that Diet Coke never tastes good. You have a point I suppose.
• I will never understand how anybody eats a hot pizza when the temperature is 90 and humidity matches it.
• The bleachers have much better hecklers than the grandstand*
• * That doesn’t include Section B most of the time.
• Score-keeping is an art form.
• Circle K hot dogs must be super cheap with the amount of them they have to give out for free each season if a fraction of the people that get the coupon actually use it.
• Games under 3 hours are a good thing, not a bad thing.
• There’s not a better way to enjoy one of those perfect Tallahassee spring days than being at the ballpark.
