Good weekend sweep for the boys to close the first half of the SEC with a terrific 12-3 record. Second half is a tough schedule with 9 road games and 6 home games. Each game against Mizzou followed the exact same script and each game was a nailbiter until one thing occurred. Game 1, the score was tied at 1 when Mizzou replaced their starting pitcher, Gators win 3-1. Game 2, UF led 3-2 when Mizzou replaced their starting pitcher, Gators win 10-2. Game 3, UF led 2-1 when Mizzou replaced their starting pitcher, Gators win 7-2. What we knew about Mizzou going into the series was spot on. Mizzou has very good starting pitching, Mizzou can't hit a lick and Mizzou's bullpen is horrendous. But to our guys credit, they turned up the bats when the bullpen was called upon and took the games over, like good teams do.
JJ swung a nice bat all weekend with a monster homer, but even better with hits to center and right fields. Langworthy swinging much better, and Indy is still red hot. Indy is POY in the SEC right now and possibly nationally. Dyson a very little better yesterday but still worried about him. He has a great arm, but 100 pitches after 5 innings after going less than 3 innings last week. is concerning. Baker was awful yesterday and got the hook early. Butler was great again and Byrne was good all weekend when games were tight but got hit a bit when he had big lead yesterday.
