    In those 2 games, I'd also expect us to see Slater, Abner, Arroyo, and maybe more Jameson. Possible Finnvold too.

    In Tampa, likely Jac C at first base and Cade Kurland at 2B, local boys.

    Some states thru 4 games, Wyatt 3 of 12 for .250. Halter 0-8. Pitchers have walked and HB on a 3.6 avg per 9 innings.

    All those are good possibilities we will see pitch. Nesbitt, Clemente, Hartzog, Ursitti will all be good to see for an inning each if we get a big lead.

    Neely needed more than the 1 inning he got over the weekend. He might start Wednesday or will need an appearance in one of these two games.

    I learned my lesson about implying Mr. Langford is in a slump for his numbers. So let's expect a big week from him now that you mention it.

    Good weekend, no doubt but I would not jump to conclusions on our hitting. CSU's only quality pitcher Truitt- looked pretty good vs Gators yesterday-- he was victimized by very poor fielding. The first two runs scored were unearned after a ball hit right at the RF that would have been third out was dropped- Evans followed with two-run double but Truitt should have been in the dugout. Similarly, Heyman's "triple" in the second was a very badly misplayed ball that should have been caught and there were other misplays that prolonged at-bats for the Gators.
    Truitt pitched 6 innings and allowed only 5 hits (two of those "questionable") with only one earned run-- also questionable as it was the Heyman misplayed triple that knocked in the third run.
    Halter again, the collar and I can't remember last time he hit safely in the Spring- granted his fielding was outstanding.
    Hoping for better tests in the coming games.

    Agree on the guys you mentioned. All 4 of them need innings. I’d like to see Neely start the second game and then go by committee.

    Truitt was solid. If they play behind him even a little bit he wins 8-9 this year. In conference he could be one of the league’s better pitchers.

    As I read this, all I see is "Heyman's 'triple'" and that's good enough for me!

    Go GATORS!

    Good to see Cade Fisher get a start early in the season. I liked his outings in the scrimmages and he had a clean inning on Saturday.
    Ditto for Tejeda-- hoping he gets the start tomorrow.
    Both have great potential. Tejeda throws an easy 94-95 mph with nice breaking ball; Fisher not as fast but with great movement for a young player.
    Tejeda 6'8" 215 and Fisher 6'4" 215. Both will fill out and get stronger.
    Look forward to following their progress.
