Baseball at TX, Sun 5/11, 2:00 pm EDT

Here’s hoping we see real Gators baseball tomorrow.

 

And no weather delays

 

Forecast tomorrow is sunny 86 deg 3% chance of rain

 

Let's win one for Mama!

 

C'mon Gators, win this series.
GO GATORS!!!!

 

Keys to winning the series the way I see it—

1) Pitchers have to live in pitcher’s counts/hit your spots.
2) Hitters have to hit it where it’s pitched/punish mistakes/don’t chase bs breaking balls.
3) Solid defense/Smart base running.

THAT IS ALL.

 

No doubt, the weather delay was a big hit on our chances as Peterson appeared to have pretty good command and I sense he could have gone 6 and then Jake could take over....but... many of our hitters looked overmatched. 16Ks out of 27 outs. Not giving yourself a chance to win. To be fair - Texas has the kind of pitching that wins championships.

 

Top 5 hitters had 13 of those with hitters 6-9 only striking out 3 times including Donay with 0. Tough to make sense out of that.

 

I get the bottom half of the lineup doing better, but—
Not really—as soon as you see video of our guy’s undisciplined swings at breaking balls down and away—at what point would you have your pitchers attack that weak link in the chain?

 

At the end I was wondering if coach would call a take on a 3-2 count.

 

SP—Earl Flores—NEVER heard of him….

 

You hear "Get your pitch." How about go after a pitch you can hit.

 

Let’s go gators!!!
Happy Mother’s Day.

 

Let's get this series, guys. Pitch it, hit it, field it!!!

 

ARE YOU READY FOR GATOR BASEBALLLLL!
