Gator Baseball CWS: UF whips Texas 6-1

[dz_23]

Arkansas-Texas Tech postponed until tomorrow, looks like a big storm is about to move through. Works well for us considering we get the day off and the loser will have to play back to back days.

I thinks it an advantage for us. Lets hope it goes extra innings. I think I’m pulling for TT so we see Ark once, but nice win today. We left a ton of runners on again, but maybe just maybe we found some swagger

Just need 3 in a row, not impossible and everyone we face will be in same situation as us, except for Fridays game if we advance.

I'd start Bell at first and tell JJ he has to catch or sit.
I was listening on the radio and could not believe the missed sign on the double steal.
It sounded like India made it back safely to second so they threw at the runner going back to first but the lead runner (India) still managed to get out. That's as bad as baserunning can get.

I can take all the heat for being a Gator pumper and cheering on the Gators. Go Gators!!

What heat?

Your heat is regarding saying the same thing every other post and talking to yourself in the box (or reading the sports ticker)

So Leftwich pitches Thursday, I would assume.
If we win, then Mace pitches the first game Friday?
And does Dyson come in to play if we make it to the second game on Friday?
Will Singer be able to pitch any innings on Friday?
Questions I hope Sully has to answer.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKowar was DOMINATE in striking out 13 batters, the most in program history at the CWS for UF. The most strikeouts in a game since 2010 in the CWS by any team. Yeah we left some runners on but our bats finally awakened and we were able to cruise to a dominate 6-1 win that wasn't even close at all. These Gators showed some fire and were able to stay alive. Go Gators!!

Good questions.

I am skeptical that we see Dyson the rest of the year. And with the way he contributed last CWS, that's a shame.

Singer threw 99 pitches Sunday. I would think he could contribute a few innings Friday on 4 days rest.

Definitely Jack on Thursday.If we get to Friday then Singer gets the ball no question.
Past that i'm not certain what Sully would go with for a winner take all Saturday. Kowar was over 120 pitches
yesterday, so Dyson likely gets the ball on Saturday if it's a winner take all to the final.
He had Mace in the pen yesterday which indicates to me at least he may prefer to keep
him in a long relief type role.

The Fantastic Five? Make no mistake, I'd be quite happy if our football team was top 5 in the next few years. And there are a lot more div 1 baseball teams than football teams.

Hey there little buddy. Are you lost? You looking for this?:

Okay, okay, it's alright, you're okay. You be careful now, okay? There's lots of meanies out there.

Im just here to support my buddy, Boss. He says you people are picking on him.

Definitely good questions that lead to even more puzzling questions.

So Leftwich on Thursday; Singer on Friday; Mace/Dyson on Saturday. Then what?

Monday I'm thinking Kowar on six days rest; then Tuesday Leftwich on five days rest; Wednesday Singer on five days rest but that may be too much. So Leftwich and Singer for a few innings and then it would be pitcher by committee?

Yeah, I know, cart before horse, but we can get away with it. The boys better be thinking they just got to win one more. And then they've just got to win one more, and so on and so forth.

You know, he never did come clean with the full story on why he got the boot at the Regionals game.

I just figured you stopped by because you thought the CWS was played here:

Unfortunately he really needs to sit, his hitting is still pretty rusty and we have alternatives.

A least JJ is willing to swing the bat and may get back in sync. Girand won't take the bat off his shoulder, and you can't contribute with that mentality.

You got to have the Captain and one of our all time greats in the lineup. As for Girand, he's been really bad and I would prefer to see Brady Smith or Cal Greenfield behind the plate if JJ can't do it. Girand has not only been terrible at the plate, his defense has been atrocious.

Arky whippin’ up on TT right now, so it looks like we’ll get a chance at revenge against TT and hopefully followed by two games with Arky.
