TCU? No sweat ... they didn't play any SEC teams. And it's easy to have a 47-16 W-L record when their opposing teams only had a 16-47 W-L record. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They've got a HRhitter who hit 20 for the season. After that 8 HRs & less. As a team, 43 HRs -- Gators 50. So our HRs are spread more across the lineup, if we swing. They've got 2 pitchers with 11 wins & 9 wins. After that 5-4 types & less. Have .272 BA. Gators .262. They really have only those 2 pitchers that pitched a lot of innings. Hopefully they have never faced pitching like ours, but we've got to hit. Go Gators jump on them Horney Toads.

We've definitely got to swing the bats, be aggressive at the plate and make some contact.

Nothing scientific that I can point to, but I used to always be a first pitch hitter. Seemed to me that the first pitch was usually the best one I was going to get. I think when I went to the plate with that attitude I found I was more aggressive and it made me a better hitter. Also read Ted Williams' "The Science of Hitting" book over and over and it really helped my hitting and batter mindset. I recommend it highly to any Little Leaguer or high schooler out there.

I was a pitcher all through high school and I could have cared less if I threw a strike on my first pitch - in fact, I purposefully threw inside most of the time. But then again, I never pitched at a higher level than HS. :lol:

Gators are home team. 1-0 Gators bottom 2nd. ESPN2
Gators left 2 on. Both teams have only one hit in 2 innings.

Really nice win. Faedo was on fire. Hope Singer does the same. Getting just enough hits and close to getting some big innings!
