Gator Baseball ***OFFICIAL NC SERIES THREAD: UF vs LSU***

[cover2]

Its my last day of vacation, and I've been drinking all afternoon. We're happy, right? :)

Couldn’t decide on how best to commemorate…





Hope you had a blast!

Man I haven't logged on here in a couple years and I did so today to bring the Gators some luck. My reverse psychology worked. Hoping they have saved a few runs for tomorrow's championship game and that LSU has finally hit the wall. But usually after you put up a ton of runs it's tough sledding the next day so to speak.

I hope the Gators can put the tigers on their back heels early in the game and feel some doubt. That would help.

Big rule in baseball: don’t try to save runs; get them while you can. Tomorrow will be tomorrow.

What a ridiculous turn around. Amazing what a couple hits will do for the whole teams confidence. Anyone notice jacs swing looking much different? I only got to watch from about the 4th or 5th on but he looked a lot better. Not hacking away with an awkward axe chop. Today it was LSU with the jitters and stupid infield decisions.

Let's just hope this is us fully breaking out of a slump and not expending our entire load in one outing. At the least we should absolutely have our confidence and swagger back, and lsu should now firmly be in the nervous stomach camp.

Go Gators!

not just Jac’s swing, he was PATIENT and didn’t swing at bad stuff

Small ball?

 

[MertzJay26]

Love this

 

[CGgater]

Well, today was much better!

Hearing the commentators hint that UF’s Game 3 bullpen is looking better than lswho’s, but we’ll probably see skenes. Hoping the short rest causes him to fade early. Wishful thinking?

I am LOVING every second of this and tomorrow will be GRAND at the office just south of Baton Rouge with my Gator Gear on!!

I am saving my Gator stuff for Tuesday, but it will be glorious wearing it in Baton Rouge all day (if we win!). It isn't often you get a chance to troll a whole city, so you've got to take it when you can.

In other words, he let the game come to him........

 

[oxrageous]

They looked scared at the plate yesterday. What a ridiculous turnaround. It's like the baseball Gods punished LSU for their cocky shenanigans during the first game with maximum humiliation.

Now you have this white-hot group of batters facing possibly the best pitcher in America. Something has to give.

3 days rest goes poorly quite often.

 

[gatorfan81]

I've said it before and I'll say it again............ if we could only lay down a good Bunt!


Go Gators!

We did and they lost

 

[t-gator]

I haven't watched a baseball game in 10+ years , probably more. I must be the lucky charm. As soon as I turned it on we hit a solo on the very 1st pitch. Then a skull ****ing proceeded. I might have to watch tomorrow

Them buyou boys didn’t know what to do with the hungry Gator. I’m amazed by what our team did today.

I have this vision that Skenes gets smashed then pulled.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Reports are we will be seeing gusts up to 40MPH out of the field, if we bring any power, balls are going to be flying out of the park this afternoon

Good call

Let's not kid ourselves. The pitching we faced today was a walk in the park compared to Skenes and others that we may face tomorrow. A premature declaration of victory, overestimating our ability and underestimating an opponent is a fool's errand, particularly after our disastrous performance in the first game.

Will be tough to swallow if tomorrow is a repeat of Saturday.

It sucks we gave up that last HR. 24-3 had such a nice ring to it.

Those insurance runs(5) in the top of of 9th sure helped.
