This sucks donkey teets so far. Gotta get out of this inning and quit sleepwalking with the bats or this season could suddenly come to an end with two losses to FAU. Ugh!

Kowar is a high draft pick? This guy is getting roughed up like a guy in an alley after midnight.

Also, the damn rain killed any advantage we would have had from having FAU play two games in one day.

Sully could have managed a run in 3rd, but no suprise we swing away with runner on second no outs and 9 hold up.

Then again, whats 1 run

If there’s a game 2, I think I go with Byrne to start. He can easily go 4-5 in pinch, and I don’t like the idea of this offense playing from behind. Maybe I’m loco though

I have to hand it to FAU. They are hitting the ball on the ground and they are hitting it where it is pitched. Add to that A superior horrendous defensive effort and it is easy to see we trail big. I will be out there for the 2nd game and I agree it will be Leftwich to start. Butler could go 2 innings, Mace could go 3 or more, Byrne 3+ and Dyson is still in play, tho I have no confidence in him.

I was just thinking all these two innings are good for is getting someone hurt. Lets start game 2 already

How about Duke, just knocked out UGA

Well that might have been out last shot. We put 2 on with one out in the 8th and Brady Smith strikes out on 5 pitches and NEVER took the bat off his shoulder. Horvath then popped out. Must pick up the intensity in game 2. And when we do swing you can't try and hit a ball 500ft. when the pitcher is throwing 70 mph. oh great another Gator error. I am with DZ lets just get to the winner take all game

I've been saying for quite a while that this team has not been playing good baseball for the last 5-6 weeks. Defense has gotten real shaky, pitching other than Singer has been erratic and the hitting has fallen off quite a bit. I'm very nervous about the winner take all game tonight. FAU has probably used up their pitchers, but they're swinging the bad and are playing loose. My guess is Sully starts Dyson. he was clutch last year in the post season and is fresh after rehabbing a shoulder. But this is a game for Johnny Wholestaff and he can't wait to long to go to the bullpen as much as he needs.

I am worried also, not sure we can adjust to the 80mph pitches. Boy, our starter will need to be good early. As for Smith, he needs to sit this one out. No effort at first and as FF said, never took bat off shoulder.

Lets go boys, win or go home

FAU must have no pitchers left and hope they have used up their bats.
