Two free passes for us to start our 6th. Can we capitalize? SAC bunt by Garrison. He is one of the better players on the team overall. Pitching change. Yost an infield single hit about 1 mph LOL. Run scores. Will take it. Put ball on ground! Can only get the one. 3-2 Cowbell after 6.

Albert should have started at third over Thomas. He manages to get on base. Both he and Garrison are Senior developed in a program that develop players after arrival.

McNellie has been lights out the last several opportunities. Definitely need more effort like his.

10 runners left on base thru 7 innings. We have 2 hits so guess how they got there?

In fairness to McNeillie he sucked against the weaker competition and has been good against better opponents. Contrast that with Peterson who looked good against the high school teams and has sucked against good teams.

I do not dislike Albert but he should be beating the ball into the ground every time he swings. He could not hit it out of the park at the girls softball stadium.

Go Gators. Lots of room for improvement but 6-3 against Top 25 in SEC play. Keep working men

Nice comeback. Kudos to McNeillie for keeping us in the game when the offense could not do shyt with all those baserunners. Would like to capitalize going forward when getting those free passes, but baseball can be a funny game. 6-3 thru nine in the SEC is about all we could ask. Just would like to see us improve in some areas.

I want this team to excel. Especially, as we may have the best player in program history hitting in the 3 hole and our ace, The incredible 9th inning heroics are spectacular and as exciting as baseball can be. However, consistency, competency and efficiency are the trademarks of championship teams. The inability to capitalize on opportunity won't bode well with the gauntlet we will face every weekend in SEC play. Thrilled we won another SEC series concerned what happens if the warts are not removed quickly. It's hard to believe Slater did not pitch one inning this weekend and we won the series, At least he can start the mid-week game and give us some good innings before we go coin toss again. Go Gators. stoked at the efforts of Superman and the relatively small contingent of support today.

I hope you are right but the last time Slater started midweek he sucked dog's ballz. And to be honest he is not so great anyway. His strength is supposed to be control and it has not been as sharp this season. But he will be needed if say neither Philpott or Smith do not develop.

"Neither/nor"... FF... "neither/nor"... Try to be elite... this is on you. Either you can do better and you can get this fixed, or you can't.
