Gator Baseball 2024 Baseball Thread; Gators wasting Caglione

[Joegator96]

Total complete BS with an 0-2 count. Neely hits the guy after 2 pitches later. follow that with a single. Free passes equal hot garbage. Another single. 2-2. 2 on still one out. Neely walks the 9 hole hitter. Bases loaded. I have seen enough. The horseshyt free passes are what this team does best. Neely then goes 0-2 on the next hitter and then hits him on a 1-2 count. A complete disaster for Neely. Just throw the ball underhanded to get it over the plate. At some point you have to wonder who is coaching the pitchers and what are they being coached on.

It's really bizarre we have no ability to throw around and thru the strike zone. All of these pitchers are big, string, throw hard and highly regarded. WTF!

5-2 Cowbell. My Zillion dollar HP 12-C does not have enough numbers to keep up with the number of free passes the Gators have allowed thru 4 innings.

Wake me up when Kurland decides to swing for base hits when he has a huge hole to hit it thru. Kid jumps out of his shoes just so he can strike out.

 

[Joegator96]

Welp, we can't pitch, our offense is a solo HR or schitt. This isn't a top 25 team and I believe it will be difficult for this team to have a 500 season

not sure who is struggling more Kurland or Luke. It is ugly.

3 up 3 down for Gator pitching. Pardon me while I rub myself raw.

Michael Robertson hits more fly balls for a guy who could not reach the warning track in 2 at bats added together. He should be forced to bunt every at bat regardless of situation.

He can't bunt, nobody at UF knows how to bunt, no coach can teach such a complicated tactic.

5-2 Cowbell after 6 innings. We cannot threaten so it has been very quiet.

 

[FireFoley]

Fisher out Jameson in . 2 outs 1 runner on 2B in the 7th inning, Fisher was better with only one unintentional free pass so looking like he will stay in the bullpen. And he immediately yields a run scoring single. Amazing how Cowbell hits the ball on a line or on the ground with minimal strikeouts and has runs versus our guys striking out constantly, popping out or an occasional solo HR. Cowbell leads 6-2.

 

[FireFoley]

Yost pinch hits for Thomas and walks . But promptly gets picked off at 1B. Good times.

 

[FireFoley]

Cowbell has a pitcher out there who is throwing 70 mph Frisbees. I like it as a change of pace.

So maybe the answer for sausage is to throw it slower

 

[FireFoley]

Old Folks Country Sausage in to start the 8th. Shelnut to 3B and Yost in LF.

Sausage cannot make his ball move enough which is why he is ineffective. He throws 3 quarters but steps way to the side. The Cowbell pitcher is Kent Tekulve or Dan Quisenberry submarining.

 

[FireFoley]

Atta boy Sausage. Walk the guy right in front of their very best hitter.

 

[FireFoley]

Shelnut and Yost pull a Bad News Bears on a foul pop into LF but thankfully we get out of it. I do not care what the defensive statistics say the team is, defensively we are not good.

 

[FireFoley]

Cowbell brings in a lefty to pitch to Shelton and presumably Cags but he walks both Shelton and Evans so he cannot avoid Captain Hook before facing Cags. Cowbell bringing in their closer to face Cags. 2 on no outs down 6-2. Cags grounds out, both runners advance. Shelnut grounds out, Shelton scores. 6-3. Kurland doubles Evans scores 6-4. Yay Kurland finally.

 

[FireFoley]

McNeillie in to try and keep it a 6-4 game.

McNeillie strikes out the side. Well done young man. Take a bow.
