Yep. UF is 30-8 vs. the Suckicanes over the last 38 games. Sully owns those guys!!!Stupid ass douche bag Miami players acting like they won the CWS when their batter hits a solo HR to tie the game at 1 apiece.
I think the weekend pitching is fine, especially if Dyson comes around or they move Mace to Friday, Leftwich to Saturday and put Dyson or a freshman on Sunday. Butler is a solid reliever and Crisp look likes a great new closer. 4 saves already as a 17 year old!! Smith played better defense Sat. & Sun. but he looks lost at the plate. The JC transfer may end up being the guy back there, but Smith proved last year that he can hit big time pitching. The infield will get better and better as they get used to playing together. Acton & Fabian are solid defenders and their bats will come alive. Calilao looks like the real deal at 1st. Langworthy & Dalton, also, have proven their ability to hit big time pitching and their averages will start to steadily climb. Langworthy got off to a slow start last year, but he got it going. The main question I have is midweek starters. With the schedule Florida plays, those midweek game are difficult and it takes solid pitching to win 'em. All the in-state teams we play, plus 3 with FSU, you better have quality pitching or you're going to get beat.
Baker isn't on the 2019 Gator roster. Don't know what happened to him. I know Keenan Bell transferred to the Univ. of Tampa and Shane Shifflett transferred to the State College of Florida in Bradenton. But I can't find what happened to Baker.Does anybody know what happened to Andrew Baker? Why is he not on this seasons roster? I also noticed he wasn't anywhere on the field on Friday and Saturday. I kept asking my son why we don't see Baker. He guessed that he was in the bullpen.
I just found this on Baker's Twitter page:Baker was there in the fall both pitching and hitting. I also noticed he was not on the team in the Long Beach Series. Talked to a few people and apparently he has gone elsewhere to play. Not sure if it was a mutual thing like with Bell, Shifflet etc., but I heard that grades were the issue with Baker, but could not confirm.
