(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

Oklahoma pitching looking very suspect vs Carolina

 

It is. You'll see Lowry who faced off against Rothrock in high school next game i imagine.

 

Idk, man. If anything, winning this series away vs. the No. 4 team in the country without your ace would suggest otherwise.
This team is really good and winning without your ace to open conference play will do loads for this team's confidence.

 

I wasn't one who said it, because it's an over-reaction to say "never" about any athlete early in their career. However, I watched her really struggle in her appearances in Phoenix. It wasn't just the control issue; she got hit hard, too.

Be that as it may, one of my favorite things about UF softball is that we get to witness the ups and downs as these players improve right in front of our eyes. Today's performance was obviously one she'll build on.

 

Hammock is a senior....so its only early in her uf career. She has really good stuff....but she just struggles to hit her spots. That leads to free bases or just grooving the pitch to get a strike when the wildness hits. She is a good change of pace option, but walking 2 in the bottom of 7 had anybody watching holding their breath.

 

Did you see CTW's beaming grin ear to ear when he went to the circle after the 3rd out? He patted her on the back - very celebratory!!

 

So much for Warren Nolan's computer predicting the Gators would get swept. I'm also looking forward to rtins67 next post. This is the guy that said Florida had no chance against A&M without Rothrock. I'm not sure we will be hearing from him for a while or maybe never. I'll bet that brings tears to your eyes.

 

Hammock's jubilant smile following the great catches by Falby and Otis was telling. Her relief at finally being able to contribute at an SEC level had to feel good. Hopefully, we'll see a more confident pitcher moving forward.
