Baseball vs SC, Tue 5/20, 5:30 pm EDT (maybe)

Rowland has looked pretty dang good vs Arkansas, Texas, and Bama in back to back to back outings.

 

You can add the USF game to that list. 4 straight outings with 0 runs allowed:

7.2 IP. 3 Hits 0 runs 2 BB 7K

 

Good call on Rowland - those are some consistent, good performances against 3 clubs likely to host - nice to have someone emerge who can hopefully help in the post season.

 

Brandon Stone starting for SC
2-6 6.07 era
292 batting average against

 

Me likey

 

If Nadeau returns as has been reported what will likely be the starting infield for the Gators?

 

If if if....
Lawson 1B
Nadeau 2B
Boser SS
Stripling 3B

 

That one change makes our infield much better. Get Cyr back to LF where he's more comfortable.

 

For sure, Bobby and Justin were starting to get comfortable working together. Shelton almost there but think it’ll be cautious approach and wait for NCAA Tourney.

 

Stone is their Friday night guy and threw 73 pitches Thursday night.

Barlow gonna have to throw strikes. Love to get 3 innings and 45-50 pitches out of him.

 

noticed the (maybe). severe weather expected by early evening. it looks like it will all depend on if our game starts on time. 4:30 central time.

 

Plus Lawson being back at first base.

 

Unfortunately, Billy Barlow hasn’t been any better for UF. Might be a high scoring affair today.

 

My guess is they only hope to get 2-3 innings out of Barlow, then start using the rest of the bullpen. Mix & match today, but you're right - probably need to score a bunch of runs.

 

Hopefully we can get the version of Billy Barlow we saw vs. Texas.

 

According to weather station here in Hoover, rain not until 11:00 pm. Beautiful right now.

 

Off to Gator Dugout Tailgate then see if we can't beat Gameycocks again. Win today and tomorrow, get Thursday off.
