(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

Lindsey has been on fire of late

 

Was this game on TV? Is there any explanation for not sending Lindsey from 3B when there was 1st/3rd a steal attempt at 2B which drew the throw?

I thought Lugo looked very good. Like everyone says, Delbrey's gonna be awesome when she gets some control. She threw a one hitter in her five innings, but it was still shotgun style. Lots of Gator fans present who gave appreciative cheers to Roe for some pretty excellent blocks and jack-in-the-box catches.

Roe played 3B for the last inning -- respect for CTW getting some actual game time for position depth. Longley played 1B. Hopefully never will be the need, but good to have the experience.

Game was a sell-out -- reserved seats gone weeks before the game, general admission sold out in the last week. Gator fans travel well!

 

Just watched Oklahoma run rule Kentucky. Oklahoma has now run ruled 22 of their 26 opponents. Incredible. I'd be surprised if they loose a game this year.

 

Yeah, OU looks superhuman. They are a couple of steps better than anyone else. Hate to say it, but I got them WCWS champs.

 

"Is there any explanation for not sending Lindsey from 3B when there was 1st/3rd a steal attempt at 2B which drew the throw?"

Same here. I was shocked and dismayed Lindsey didn't break for home. Were there 2 outs?

Sam Roe is going to be big time and is getting there fast. She can hit. Hit with power. Run and play D. Don't recall seeing her throw to 2nd yet, however.

Don't think this team is championship quality without being able to rely on Delbrey against SEC competition. Maybe we'll see this weekend.

 

They’re good, but I’d like to see them play good competition. Kentucky is good, but they don’t have the pitching to challenge a team like OU. OU should’ve lost once already to Tennessee, but they gave it away on an error. Maybe they’ll draw a tough match in supers.

 

yep, they are 2-0 vs RPI Q1(1-25) teams. UCLA 4-1, & Vols 9-8. 12-0 vs Q3(51-100)

Nope -- one out. I looked at CTW to see whether he'd say something to Lindsay about missing the play, but it was business as usual so maybe 1B (can't remember who is was, but she was out) wasn't supposed to go.

Agreed that we're not there yet, but we don't have to be! In his press conferences, CTW has said the plan is for Delbrey to be the go-to reliever for Hightower/Lugo but I'd like to see her improve her way into a starting role.

 

The Stetson woman's lacrosse team is currently across the street at Dizney Stadium, where UF is up 6-0 in the first period. Maybe the weather is worse on the north side of Hull Road?

 

Obviously an over reaction. Lacrosse players are tougher and they have a net to catch the raindrops.

 

It's raining there now and looking at the radar there is a line of heavy rain due there around 6:15.

I think comparing our season stats to Tennessee is somewhat misleading because their SOS is #3 and Gators are #36. If you look at SEC stats Tenn is batting 282 to our 276. ERA is a better story....Tenn 3.71 Fla 2.45. Either way I expect Florida to win two this weekend with a good possibility of sweeping the series

 

How has Oklahoma become so dominant in the world of college softball. In 26 games they have hit 70 homeruns and have only been scored on 23 times. To me those numbers are staggering.

 

Plus they basically host the WCWS.
