Gator Baseball 2024 OFFICIAL ROSTER/Transfer Tracker/Lineup???

What paidinfill said. I just grab these off the UF website. I have every once in awhile found something off but they usually are close to all the other stats presented in the game stats. That doesn't mean I'm closed minded to interpretations....HA

 

No problem, I'm always glad to see others wanting to contribute to this thread. The more stats and info to think about only helps generate positive conversation.

 

I watched Sully's postgame PC and got interesting items of note. Menendez should be ready to go soon. They have been holding him back to give him more time to get ready. I'm unsure why but should be a help getting an extra arm available. Also Kurland will be hitting BP today for the first time since getting hit. This will be to see how he does and feels after as prep for Friday. Sully was also asked about Albert but he didn't offer any future possible info, only they knew he was a good player from our games against FAU and knew he would be a good backup for the infield.

 

Our pitchers this weekend IMHO should look like....

Friday - Fisher, Slater, Neely
Saturday - Peterson, Satin, Philpott/Whitmer
Sunday - Cags, Smith, Jameson, Whitmer(if not used Sat) and Slater/Neely if needed

These all assume the starters go 4 innings at least (yes I said assume), Friday and Saturday games go as planned, and we have other arms available for short stays as needed like Purnell, McNeillie, and Clemente. Anything more might be Katie bar the door. Since Sully mentioned Menendez in the PC, he might be trying to get him a short appearance this weekend since he is from Miami along with Gomberg and a few others. That's only if we get a decent lead.

 

I can confirm #18 does have a baseball glove that he sometimes wears. Oh the mystery.....

 

Just for kicks, I'll put out the question, other than Cags, who do you think will have the best weekend for the Gators as a batter? Some might say Albert but you have to wonder how much does he play if Kurland is back? Some might say Kurland because he is itching to play again. Others might go with the easy hot hand pick of Shelton or maybe Shelnut. Or does anyone go with the long shot and say Donay? Myself I'm going to go with the guy I've been watching hit line drives all thru practice and say Heyman. He hasn't shown as well in games but I think he is due for a big weekend.
What say you oh keepers of the thread???

 

Now that one really is laugh out loud funny. Thanks

 

I don't mean to be overly dramatic but I think we look back at this first win in Miami as a big win on the season. Not because I think Miami will surprise lots of other teams, but how the Gators worked thru the game. For starters, most of our runs came in the middle innings. Two runs were from timely hitting, Robertson's single, who beat out a ground ball to short, and Albert's infield ground ball. Kurland and Cags batting 1/2 each got 3 hits and got some rallies going. The 3 HRs were all solo so we weren't relying on big shots to score our runs. Our batters got 10 hits in Miami and consistently kept pressure on the Miami defense and kept the crowd mostly quiet. Fisher wasn't his best but worked thru it and left with a lead. He will do better and should win plenty of games this year. Slater came in during a jam in an inning at a hostile ballpark, struggled, but then came back out and pitched as strong as we have seen, his usual self. That was big, not only for his growth, but showed the others how to get it done. Neely was Neely and prevented any runs from scoring even with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the 9th. There's plenty for Sully to build upon coming out of this game. Games two and three could be even better but this game might be where things started falling into place going into the SEC.
