Looks like our next game is on Monday at 2pm against NC State (ESPN) in case anyone's interested. I worked on one of my motorcycles this morning. Taking a break and will return to do some more after lunch. Happy Father's Day to all! My only kids have been the 4-legged variety and I spent some quality time smothering the latest rescue with some fatherly love...... Deep breaths...we're still in it....GO Gators!
Wouldn’t mattered if it was a wider or higher pitch we would have hacked. It’s been that way all season
I’m not really wanting to gripe about the umpires, but I did not feel like the gator pitches were getting the same courtesy of 2-6 inches Off the plate like A&M was
Yeah it is amazing we had a chance to win the game considering we got squeezed and they didn’t, and our 1, 3 and 4 hitters went 0-12 with 9 k’s. Poor Cags can’t get any protection.
One more foot and the umps would have done a fantastic job. Sometimes the baseball gods aren't on your side. I still can't believe that Coastal Carolina hit was fair. That inch won them the title IMO. We had 3 plays within a foot, the play at third by Dale, the bases loaded slow roller, and the ninth inning blast. Any one of those is a foot in our favor, we would have won. I tip my hat to this team, but there is an element of luck there whether you strike out 18 times and leave 12 guys on base or not.
Time for the Rally caps! Even someone like myself, whom knows little about baseball, know the odds are long with a first game loss. But the Gators have shown amazing resilience in the playoffs this campaign. I would love to see UF play FSU in the final, with UF disappointing FSU for what? THE 24TH OR 25TH TIME?
Just got in after a redeye flight returning from my twin Niece and Nephew's college graduation. After reviewing this thread, have I missed anything? Get behind early. Check Use challenge on early inning call. Check Double digit (10) LOB's. Check Double digit (16) SO's. Check TAMU hits (2) with 0-2 counts. Check TAMU nine hole hitter RBI. Check Reminded that the Gators play better in elimination games. Check And that getting to Omaha was icing on the cake. Check
Anyone who thinks Sully has gotten complacent is a dope. Anyone who has called our team an embarrassment IS the embarrassment.
Just finished the game. Clearly not the result we wanted, but our barely .500 battled all the way to end. Luck is always a factor and will only sometimes be in your favor. I am happy to even be here, but I also think we are definitely not out of it yet. Go gators.
