Too bad we don't play the game on paper! LOLGood opening weekend. Really nice to see Cags pitch today as he came in highly regarded. Surprised he went to 80 pitches given he had not thrown in a real game since HS. Throws hard but unlike Sproat seems to be around the plate often so his pitch count probably will not get elevated quickly, which is a good thing. I think against tougher opponents they will get contact on him regardless of velocity b/c his fastball does not have much movement, but that is okay as much better than walks and hit batters. Team looks to have plenty of arms barring injuries and just hope all those guys who got a chance to pitch last year have improved so that the bullpen can hold up this year. But on paper the team looks to be a serious contender.
How he is good doing baseball is what's mind boggling. I can't stand the condescension of that man on his football postgame show. Anyone dumb enough to call in and criticize a bad effort deserves what they get from him.Russell is good doing baseball. Clearly enjoying himself…. How he sucks so badly on his daily show is mind blogging…
They certainly have more depth of pitching and position players than in recent seasons. Sully said he plans to use Brandon Neely in the closer role initially which should be an upgrade over last seasons committee.Good opening weekend.

Our pitching was really good again. I wonder who he give the start to tomorrow?6-1 final tonight at USF. Was very close the whole game until we tacked on those 4 in the 9th. We play them again tomorrow night at home. Nothing to complain about at the start of this season.
Shaky in 1st...A throwing error on 3rd baseman , a hit batsman and a single drove in their only run.Our pitching was really good again. I wonder who he give the start to tomorrow?
OK, a stat line with 1 run, 5 hits and 15K's thru 9 qualifies as really good pitching to me. Hope they are equally as good tomorrow night.Shaky in 1st...A throwing error on 3rd baseman , a hit batsman and a single drove in their only run.
Game in Tampa tonight - Gators tack on two insurance HR's in the 9th:
We haven't been playing real teams?Score not really indicative of the game as the Gators can't be that sloppy on the mound or in the field against better teams. Evans made 2 errors in RF but was only charged with one. He is terrible defensively and should be the DH. The CF butchered a fly ball in the 1st inning and injured himself somehow while misplaying the fly ball. Sproat was his usual self. High pitch count, 2 Walks and 2 hit batters. Slater walked 3 hitters and hit one batter all in his 1st inning of work. 11 Cincy hitters reached base without ever having to take the bat off their shoulder. Way too many. Need to start improving in these areas soon. Real teams start appearing on the schedule soon.
