    Where the crawfish stay.
    Maybe the guys play loose tomorrow..
    The Best ERA team in the country comes to Gainesville and get hammered for 12 hits and 8 runs.
    The pressure now goes to the Aggies.

    Yeah, you and I know the velocity that it says might not do it justice I know It said 96, but I think that’s more like trying to hit something That’s just nasty beyond the 96.

    Respectfully, disagree and I believe Sully would too. Much better than Heyman and not really close.
    Steals strikes and throws runners out. Has anyone stole a base on him yet?

    Two risky moves by Sully worked out well. So far this year, he's had a quick hook for the games when a young pitcher gave up a bunch of early runs- including ALL of the losses! Tonight, he stuck with Fisher who didn't help his ERA, but pitched shutout ball in 5 of 6 innings. Sully even gave him one more inning after reaching a high 90s pitchcount. Fisher made him look like a very smart coach. (Coincidentally, he IS a very smart coach.) Going directly to Neely was a new approach that makes it unlikely we'll see #22 tomorrow, but he threw few enough pitches that he 'll be ready for an inning or two... or three... on Sunday.

    The bottom of the lineup still is an issue, but Guy definitely is earning his playing time. We may see Robertson tomorrow against the aTm righty, but platooning may be the right move. While Thomas has an anemic BA and his defense is less than sterling, he still comes through with some clutch hits and glovework. DH remains a problem and Heyman in that role only helps at the cost of no hits from catcher. That said, tonight was a great win. I will be amazed if Pete leaves with a lead after 6 and Slater finishes with a save, but I can dream.

    Haha. He’s a much better receiver. Look at thrown out percentage, framing, way exact he actually catches the ball- no comparison. Pretty telling Sully had him catching Friday night. May see it again Sunday and He did start tonight.

    Well Sully knows way more than you
    and I . I trust his work more than you hand I. Honestly I don’t love how Heymen receives the ball either but both are serviceable

    Yes, Sully knows way more than you and I.
    Garrison started last night and should be starting Sunday with Cags pitching so that’d be 2/3 games.

    Heyman is clearly the better hitter.
