Gator Baseball 2023 Gator Baseball Thread- CWS Bound

I hope you are not suggesting Rivera, Cags and Kurland should be laying down sac bunts???? Halter, Shiekofer, Robertson but not anyone in the one thru six hole! Almost never!

'Almost' Often times a successful bunt can turn around a guy that can't buy a hit. Riopelle would be good candidate during one of his strikeout streaks depending on the situation. Kurland definitely needs to learn how to bunt

Agreed, bunting for a hit when the situation allows is a great opportunity to break out of a slump or just to start a rally. I will stick with "almost never" for our 1, 3 nd 4 to sac a guy to second and give up an out and the opportunity for a big inning.

You might want to follow the regular season a little more closely too. Iowa State doesn't have a baseball team.

It's a little surprising some other big athletic programs don't either. Wisconsin, SMU, Tulsa, Syracuse, Colorado, and Colorado State are the most recognizable. Title IX I assume. You would have to add a money-losing female sport for a potentially money-losing male sport (maybe breakeven).

Yep, CU, CSU and DU all gave it up for Title IX - and they kinda sucked at it anyway.

I am not going to disagree one bit but I assure you even tho Kash had good at bats the entire game, including a HR earlier, if you were going to pitch to him, nothing should have been within a foot of the strike zone. But Sully would say you do not want to intentionally walk a guy and put the go ahead run in scoring position (2nd base). Hogwash. He was a lefty with a HR already and a lighter hitting righty on deck.

If my intention is to not give him anything to swing at then I put him on. No chance for a passed ball and saves pitches. Sully has a very warped understanding of the game and seems to have a problem with risk management particularly with our BP. The go ahead run was standing on 1st with a guy like Kash at the plate, that changes the understanding of where the go ahead run really is.

It's obvious to any person that is not in a coma that winning championships is not a requirement to coach at UF.

When you take on a AD from and program that has the mentality that's what you get.

Lotta this in here . This type can't lose. They can rail on Sully and the players if we don't win it all or if we keep winning it will be in spite of him.

Winning championships is certainly in spite of him. It's just like Kirby Dumb - stockpile so much talent they have no choice but to win.

If you’re the weird in-law, does that make @FireFoley the crazy uncle?

I hate baseball, but would like to see UF doing well. Can someone educate me on the CWS eliminations? I know it is double elim, but the loss the gators got in the opening rounds...does that carry through to SuperRegionals or is it a clean slate? Are the losses wiped for Omaha?

Clean Slate. Best 2 of 3 this weekend in all eight series. Then two, 4 team brackets in Omaha, both double elim. the 2 teams that advance to the champ final in Omaha then play best 2 of 3

Fake news.

OK, it's ace on ace Friday night. While we got schooled at there place we have been much better down the stretch than the Cockless and our SEC record is much better than them. We need Sproat to pitch a gem, our D to play to capabilities and our hitters to use the entire field and have men on base all night long. Let's all put on our favorite superstitious shirt and hat and cheer them on. NO NEGATIVE VIBES BITCHES!

There are still high expectations for you… non-negotiable. If you can’t handle the pressure, tell Mrs. Gator that you are forever grateful for the opportunity she afforded you, but a good man’s got to know his limitations. Walk out the door and don’t look back. OR you can man up and stick around as long as we allow it.
