Today is the day to come out, play hard, win the series, and show’em that we’re clearly the better team! Go Gators!
At 15-11 (5-3), this is a pivotal game for the Gators. The schedule eases up a bit in the next four games but we still have to play better and with more intensity to beat anyone- as we've learned. We're half way through the season and still working out our weekend rotation and a who can contribute in the bottom half of the lineup. 15-11 is not the W/L record we had expected but can we can still make a good run and it has to start today.
The win loss record will not be beautiful this year for sure, but with our strength of schedule, if we get somewhere between 33 and 35 victories, we will get a one seed for the regional
But are we? 74, I am not sure we are that good.. I believe this team will figure it out but all stats show that we are not a good team right now. Run ruled twice at home in one week..
Oh, I get that we have played our share (and then some) of ugly baseball. I’m saying today is the day to start fixing it—never give up your own home field…..Right the ship today!
