Gator Baseball 2024 Baseball Thread; Gators wasting Caglione

2 run HR to right center by Kurland, His previous at bat was a long out to right center. Everytime he hits the other way good things happen. 11-3

Solo HR to left by Donay. 12-3

Robertson another single up the middle. Pitching change. Need one more run this inning to run rule the Hats Evans singles, Robertson to 3B.

Cags ends it with a single to RF. 13-3. 7 HR's but only one with an upper cut swing. And only Fisher issued any free passes on the mound. Gets a lot tougher this weekend at Arky.

13 to 3, Cags with a game winning RBI single!

Coppola schedule to start tonight. Not sure that it will matter facing the ARK undefeated ace and his sub 2.00 ERA. That is not easy for a starting pitcher in college baseball. TBD scheduled for Sat and Cags for Sunday. Maybe Sully going to see how the Friday game goes early to see if he uses Neely or Peterson behind Coppola or if the game is out of hand just bag it and pitch the young guys from the bullpen who we have not seen for weeks.

ive nearly stopped watching. just like football, there is zero fun to gator baseball right now. ill watch other teams and enjoy watching good play, good hitting and defense and sound pitching. just dont see any of that with us. shame.

 

[FireFoley]

Well we did get 2 baserunners in the top 1st with a single and a HBP but then went K and flyout. Might night get a ton of chances against ARK starting pitcher.

FYI. Doubleheader tomorrow.

Wind is howling in tonight. Must keep it on the ground. The 2 flyouts we hit were well struck but no chance into the wind.

 

[FireFoley]

Well gotta mention this. Coppola 3 up 3 down all K's. Good for him Been through a lot. His best inning yet in his return.

 

[FireFoley]

Well Coppola got the first 2 out in the 2nd before grooving one that was hit thru the wind for a solo HR. 19th consecutive SEC game the team has trailed in at some point. Consistency. 1-0 ARK. But Coppola throwing strikes.

 

[FireFoley]

1-0 after 3 innings. Coppola 1 hit, 1 run ZERO free passes but 50 pitches b/c ARK is fouling off a ton of pitches. But for this pitching staff that is a monumental effort. Best he has looked all year by far. Maybe another inning but not sure.

7 of our 12 outs are strikeouts but the ARK pitcher is nasty. But in fairness we strikeout about 50% of the time anyway regardless of the opponent's pitcher.

Coppola back out there for the 4th.

Coppola back out there for the 4th.

But are we looking, or swinging?

 

[FireFoley]

Coppola walks the leadoff hitter to start the 4th. 58 pitches. Coppola out. Jameson in. Took him until the 11th batter to issue a free pass

 

[FireFoley]

With Jameson coming in and a DH tomorrow Sully figures he needs 3 starters tomorrow and is probably going to go with typical bullpen guys. But if we could somehow get some runs, maybe Neely would pitch late?

 

[Fodderwing]

0 to 1 after 5.

 

[Fodderwing]

Cags and Heyman collide, foul ball hits the dirt, no out

 

[FireFoley]

Florida Gator baseball right there. Just tremendous communication on a foul pop that 2 guys could have caught and we f'n go full Bad News Bears.

Mrs. Turner had a smokin' body in those 70's jeans with the crop top... but sure, go with a little boy in his underwear if that's your thing.

PS It was "Ahmad Abdul"... common mistake

 

[FireFoley]

What a nice bunt by Shelnut to sacrifice the runner but why can't he just run in the runner's lane? Best bunt I have seen by a Gator hitter in maybe the entire Sully era. All for naught.
