Neely starting game 1. Cags is the DH. I would have thought they would have started Cags in game 1 today so he could have his full pre game time and then played 1B in Game 2 b/c he is our best 1B. But to be honest it probably will not matter.
Opportunity squandered. To be tied when the Ark starting pitcher departed and not win this game with a chance is totally deflating. Could not have expected to be in that position realistically going into this game. Still would have liked to see Shelton get a chance in the 8th and not left 1B...
The Nut pops out. I would have seen if Shelton could have gotten a hit or maybe they toss a wild pitch. Would not have made the decision easy for them to intentionally walk Shelton.
What a nice bunt by Shelnut to sacrifice the runner but why can't he just run in the runner's lane? Best bunt I have seen by a Gator hitter in maybe the entire Sully era. All for naught.
With Jameson coming in and a DH tomorrow Sully figures he needs 3 starters tomorrow and is probably going to go with typical bullpen guys. But if we could somehow get some runs, maybe Neely would pitch late?
7 of our 12 outs are strikeouts but the ARK pitcher is nasty. But in fairness we strikeout about 50% of the time anyway regardless of the opponent's pitcher.
Coppola back out there for the 4th.
1-0 after 3 innings. Coppola 1 hit, 1 run ZERO free passes but 50 pitches b/c ARK is fouling off a ton of pitches. But for this pitching staff that is a monumental effort. Best he has looked all year by far. Maybe another inning but not sure.
Well Coppola got the first 2 out in the 2nd before grooving one that was hit thru the wind for a solo HR. 19th consecutive SEC game the team has trailed in at some point. Consistency. 1-0 ARK. But Coppola throwing strikes.
Well we did get 2 baserunners in the top 1st with a single and a HBP but then went K and flyout. Might night get a ton of chances against ARK starting pitcher.
FYI. Doubleheader tomorrow.
Wind is howling in tonight. Must keep it on the ground. The 2 flyouts we hit were well struck but no...
No but I did make a large purchase in the 2 YR treasury auction on Tuesday. Of course that was the morning that the PMI numbers sucked and rates feel a lot only to have gone back up but I think the short end of the curve is anchored. I also am seeking more 4+% tax free munis as they have come...
