Gator Baseball ***OFFICIAL NC SERIES THREAD: UF vs LSU***

[bacongator]

My house is about three miles from Tiger Stadium (I can hear when they score big touchdowns), so anytime we play LSU in any sport, it means a lot to me. But I am surrounded by LSU baseball fans, so this means even more. I really want to wear my orange and blue Steve Spurrier tie to work on Monday.

Best of 3, starts Saturday. Stricklin will give Sully an extension, then Sully should be fired, win or lose.

FIFY

My hatred for LSU is well documented, similar to FSU on this site.

I think my pessimism comes from the backlash of losing and dealing with these corndogs. In reality, the best thing that could of happened, did. LSU threw the best pitcher in the country last night.

We WILL see him if it goes to game 3 or weather delays which are expected over the weekend. We need to handle business the first two games. I love our chances with Waldrep, as he dominated LSU last year in Regionals at SM. Of course, Sproat is “ace” of staff. We could very much end this in 2 games, but got to win the first one, first.

Agree with playing in championship is a remarkable accomplishment, but a championship would be Amazing for me, as I am in baseball country. I think the wind changes, and the series will be higher scoring than we’ve seen. I like our chances, but still intend to vent with everything that doesn’t go my way.

Lets go Gators!!

Hopefully we get an updated one of these this weekend.

Looking forward to finally seeing Puk pitch.

Wake had some amazing plays and their game IQ seemed impressive. For them to have lost, astounded me. LSU is obviously very good.

LSU's ace pitcher is impressive and I think we see him sooner than game 3 but that it'll be to their detriment and our bats get the better of him.

We seem to be very good at the long-ball but I hope our short game is on point. Our pitching staff will be well rested.

I like our chances.

Go Gators!

 

[MJMGator]

I expect to run rule those m’fers in the first 2 games. Gator Bait!

 

[MertzJay26]

I would greatly appreciate a series win

 

[LaylaGator]

I look upon North LA as my home away from home and have some of my best friends are there. All of my LA "family" are LSU fans and we have a lot of fun bantering about the games.

If we don't win, I prefer LSU to win compared to any other school out there.

Let's ban Fodder through Monday.

Let's ban Fodder through Monday.

…of what year?

…of what year?

2029 when the Gators & Tigers do this again!

If UF wins the first game, would the LSU manager be stupid enough to "pull a Sully" and NOT start his best pitcher in the elimination game, "saving" him for a 3rd game that may never be necessary? I can't imagine something that insanely stupid happening twice over a 100 year span.

 

[AuggieDosta]

Correct. LSUcks would put him out there for game 2.

 

[Mobtowngator]

On two days rest? That would indeed be a rubber arm...

No joke. He threw 120 pitches last night.

 

[oxrageous]

You do it anyway in an elimination game. Pitchers pitched on short rest for 150 years until this new breed of pussy baseball came into play.

Don’t think we see Skenes unless it a for few outs monday.
Hes a couple weeks away from a 8 million dollar payday, his agent would blow a fuse putting him at risk.
That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

 

[LoyalGatorFan]

Wake had a much deeper lineup but LSU brings the fans and has one of the most dominant college pitchers I've ever seen....dude was still throwing 100 at 119 pitches....having said that

75% of the board will be dead by then

Well done sir

I think this is right. If he were to get injured, I'm sure it would become harder for LSU to recruit future MLB level pitchers. I wonder if he could be an effective 9th inning reliever for them? I hope not.
