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 open by running Cags.

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.

SEC game #20 and SEC game #20 in which the team has trailed at some point. The team did have runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out in the 2nd inning and with ARK conceding a run on a ground ball, Donay of course could not put the ball in play and struck out on a ball 2 feet out of the strike zone. Robertson then grounded out to end inning. ARK scores on a 2 out double. Neely is his typical self. Way too many pitches thru 3 innings with the wind howling in. He is constantly 2-2 3-2 on every hitter. 85 pitches thru 4 innings on a day when the wind is howling it. If they hit it over your head they hit it over your head. A game and a half with the wind blowing in and ARK has hit 2 balls over our heads and we have hit ZERO balls over their head. Throw ball over the plate.

4 1/3 innings for Neely 107 pitches. And to end his day Neely goes 3-0 on the leadoff hit in the 4th before inducing a ground out 3 pitches later. He gets ahead 0-2 on the next hitter and promptly hits him on the next pitch. Slater in. Neely cannot be a starter with that type of control.

Gators take a 4-1 lead in the top of 7th:yes:

Only to give it up in the bottom of the 7th. 4-4 still in 7th. Slater out after another typical outing.

Gators get a run back to close it to 6-5 and still have runners at 2B and 3B with ZERO outs and wait for it............... cannot score!

WTF? Fundamental baseball under our fearless leader. A long fly to CF and could have walked home from 3B but no. We FKKED it up

See ball hit glove, leave base, jog to home plate. Not very difficult. Learned that in what was known as Farm League where I grew up. Age 8 and under.
