Gator Baseball 2023 Gator Baseball Thread- CWS Bound

Nothing like getting 4 in the Top1st only to give it right back in the bottom1st. At least they are not hitting or walking the Clowns.

ASheShe Network opted not to televise. Go Gators!

You are correct but it's not MLB so once the season begins your roster is what it is. Going into this year Blake Purnell was considered a major part of the rotation until he could not stop walking and hitting batters. He is now an afterthought. If you are not throwing strikes you get pulled! Sully has been accused in the past of being Captain Hook! The only questions I have for his decisions have been around Cags as the Sunday starter and WHY doesn't he pitch Clete Hartzog more? In his limited opportunities he is a strike throwing machine.

Clete may not be the answer

 

[FireFoley]

Clete may not be the answer

I would not be so sure. He did not walk or hit a single batter, but to your point he did only throw nine pitches, so if this was softball he would be fresh to reenter later in the game as a pitcher, LOL

How are y'all getting updates? I can't find anything.

single, single, double, triple to first 4 batters, then I nodded off…

Purnell is finally doing the job. Go figure. 8K's. where has this been.

I was thinking the same thing

It was not on TV, no one saw it so it did not happen.

I will not even consider the thought that he has turned the corner and just chalk it up to a blind squirrel finding a nut. Just hope Sully does not think that all of sudden Old Folks Country Sausage has turned into Mariano Rivera.

How about Abner with the closeout?

Utter domination. Just like it should be.

I'd be happy if he could consistently toss strikes and pick up a few outs during the weekend.

Words cannot express how much I hate the faggies.

Gators win 6 to 5.

Neely walked 2 in the 9th, but managed to hold the lead and get 3 outs.

 

[Joegator96]

Great win! Nice start to the weekend

Well it was not a thing of beauty but it is a W. Random Sproat was just that, only it was not the walks and hit batters tonight. It was too many hanging curve balls. Probably fortunate to have only given up 4 runs and that ATM was not one of the hotter hitting teams in the league. Neely's 2 walks both to right handed hitters in befuddling, but I have said he is not a closer. He does not have the pinpoint control to be trying to hit edges of every pitch. Admittedly I have little confidence in him against top tier competition. Did not use any of the bullpen guys that much tonight, including Slater, so they could all contribute tomorrow if needed.
