(SB) OGT: UF @ Ole Miss Game 2 April 12, 2025, 3 pm SEC +

Having used both Rothrock and Oxley in yesterday's win, who do we put in the circle today?

There was a time when one pitcher could do the entire weekend, since softball doesn't have the same arm stresses as baseball. So we could do Red or even Rothrock again?

I suspect we'll go with Brown, but if she flames out, where to from there? The rest of our bullpen has struggled against good hitting -- as last weekend (and even Stetson) showed.

Who would you start? Who is your reliever?

 

All pitchers are available, IMO. I have no idea what CTW will do, although I don't expect anybody to throw a complete game.

 

On weekends the kiddos are assigned orange and blue plastic ware for meals. For my sanity same kid always gets same color. In an effort to change the Gators mojo I flip flopped their assigned colors today. Hopefully this works! P.S. Am I insane?

 

Gotta be ava starting....everyone on deck to close, but probably red primary unless game is out of hand one way or other

Binford pitched against us for Baylor in the Super Regionals last year. We beat her 4-2 in Game 1, but we only got 5 hits off her. Their other pitcher beat us in Game 2 and then Bind=ford came on in relief in Game 3, which we won 5-3, and pitched the last 4.2 innings, allowing only 1 run on 2 hits, but 6 walks. She's a solid 2-way player. Hope our bats stay hoy and Ava is up for the challenge.

 

I like binford usually but not today of course lol. I like our lineup shuffle, hope it works out wonderfully!

 

Every batter in the lineup is hitting over .300, yet it seems like several of them are in slumps.
