We seem to be doing well with getting all our hits after 2 outs!

 

[SaltGator]

Cags is so wild.

 

[MertzJay26]

The TCU pitcher might not have a lot of juice, but one thing he does do is economize his pitches. He throws strikes and keeps his count down.

He leaves everything up in the zone lol. He’s VERY lucky to have only given up 2

 

[MertzJay26]

I’ll take 4.1 of 1 run ball from Jac. That outing is what some may refer to as “effectively wild”

 

[FireFoley]

Cags tried and only gave up 2 hits, but he did not throw enough strikes to give up many more hits. 6 free passes. Lucky to still have a lead. Their pitcher is making us beat them and I hope our bullpen can do the same. Just throw strikes.

Let ‘em hang, Slater!

I don’t want to “just throw strikes,” I want to throw strikes at the bottom of the zone. This TCU pitcher is leaving everything up on the zone and is very lucky to not have an 8 spot put up on him.

On the flip side, being as wild as Cags is not a recipe for success either. He’s also lucky to not have given up an 8 spot lol

Better start manufacturing some runs and quit trying to hit everything out.

I agree with you, but if push comes to shove I would rather have an 8 spot put up on me by the opponent actually hitting the ball, versus never taking the bats off their shoulders. TCU may be lucky not have given up more runs, or maybe the UF hitters just are not good enough to string together hits, therefore he continued to hit the zone and play for the ball to be hit at his defense?

Playoff baseball tends to lead to lower scoring games for whatever reason. Likely guys pressing at the plate.

Slater is the perfect representation of a pitcher pounding the bottom of the zone with sink. Love it

I pounded the bottom of your mom's zone last night over the sink. She loved it.

The TCU Pitcher Abeldt struck my son out twice in a high school game last year. To be fair, it was a sophomore facing a senior at the time.

My son is now a PO thankfully, he was always a better pitcher than hitter ;>)

 

[dz_23]

Wow, nice work Fish! 6 more outs Gators

 

[dz_23]

5 outs

 

[dz_23]

Urrgh why take him out

 

[FireFoley]

Seemed like Fisher was throwing strikes freely and easily. I would have left him out there. But they have all the #'s so just gotta go with it. Just want Neely to throw strikes and stop all his deep counts.

 

[Bullag8r]

Urrgh why take him out

He took Slater out after a 1,2,3 inning and now takes Fischer out after 4 straight outs. It doesn't make sense

 

[Spurdog98]

BT getting bent over today

 

[dz_23]

I dont understand the thinking
