Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

Jocey can play C, DP, 1B and OF. She will always be in the lineup.

 

I would include Reagan in that group. The top five are deadly. I hope we can the bottom four to produce like that.

 

I think it would be fun if our resident experts Scrappy and Ocala would each predict the opening day lineup and batting order. Go for it guys.

 

The one that is the most accurate will be rewarded with a free hot dog at Gators game. How is that for incentive?.

 

I hate domes but maybe KSP needs one.......

Florida Cancels Final Fall Exhibition Against College of Central Florida
Herb Brooks
There are no plans for Gators and the Patriots to reschedule the exhibition.

 

My shot.
Falby CF
Wallace SS
Otis LF
Erickson C
Walsh DP
Kowalewski 3B
Williams 2B
Goelz 1B
McLellan RF
Brown P
The way this lineup is done, Brown does not hit for herself, as you cannot have ten batters. So I think it would come down to who is hitting better, Walsh or Brown. Or, if Brown's hitting affects her pitching, then Walsh is DP.
If any of the other three are pitching, then Brown goes to 1B, and Walsh is the DP.
A lot of this will depend on which player is hitting more consistently.
The Orange and Blue games will go a long way in determining that.

 

Who is in RF?

 

The SB game tonight was canceled because the tarp was never put on the field during all of this rain.
Do you think Smiley or CTW just overlooked that detail?
Not likely.

 

See correction.

 

My projected lineup.
Falby CF
Otis LF
Wallace SS
Erickson C
Walsh DP
Brown IB/P
Williams 2B
Kowalewski 3B
Goelz 1B/RF
The lineup stays the same when either Rothrock or Miller are pitching.
The last couple of years Coach Walton was playing checkers when making a starting lineup. With the depth of talent on this team he’s moved on to chess.

 

Why don't any of the projected lineups include Sara Longley? There's no way she's not going to be playing, probably a starter.

 

When is the Orange and Blue Series? Is there any clue as to when the games will be played?

 

None of you and probably rightfully so have put Kistler or Wilke in the starting lineup. Sort of makes me sad. These girls have gotten tons of playing time over the last couple of years and it has to be a tough pill to swallow to be put on the bench by freshman. I give them credit for hanging in there. They both are real Gator athletes.

 

I thought she graduated.

 

I wouldn't rule Kistler out of a significant role and I could see Wilkie catching games to keep Erickson fresh

 

They’re not necessarily being put on the bench by freshmen. Otis will start in left field after transferring from Louisville and Erickson will start at catcher after transferring from Oklahoma.

 

Or Wilkie and Kistler could step up and stay in the lineup.

 

I'm going outside the box to some extent. My lineup is contingent on Baylee being healthy:
Kendra - CF
Skylar - SS
Korbe - LF
Jocey - C
Reagan - DH
Baylee - RF
Lefty - 3B
Mia - 2B
Avery - 1B
Keagan starts in the circle.
