Baseball at FSU, Tue 3/21, 7:00 pm

We need to run rule them

 

Let’s do this Gators—This is why you play the game!

 

I want to sweep them....

 

Sounds good, but I'd be happy with a 1 run win.

 

We will need a fourth starter come tournament time and we have had at least one great audition for the role. I will be interested to see what Sully does. Does he give a start and (hopefully) he goes deep but is ruined for the weekend except for maybe a short apperance or does he go Johnny Wholestaff keeping him in play for the next SEC series in a long relief role?

 

Great points on 4th. Only guy I’d say beyond Neely ( only saying due to previous starting experience) to be the 4th is Nesbitt, but we need to see more. Maybe Sully saw enough in his one awesome start. Next start was only two innings and possible save for Bama.

FSU will be amped for this game. Hoping because Tuesday game and Sec series doesn’t start until Friday that he lets Nesbitt go 4-5, provided he doesn’t struggle mightily. To develop a 4th takes some patience. Hoping Sully gives Nesbitt extended innings tomorrow night.

Great thing is even 60-70 pitches and can pitch Saturday or Sunday easily for 1-2 innings. Key with FSU is to not walk them. They are not a great hitting club.

 

It will be interesting to see how deep Sully goes in his pitching staff for an FSU midweek game when the big prize is the SEC regular season. I know that we want them both, but which one is more important?

With the new FSU coach, who I think is really good, do we pull out the stops to send a message?

Lots of drama with this game

 

Winning your series vs your rival is always exciting and a plus with recruiting.

Winning your conference is always exciting, damn important, and a huge plus with recruiting besides when your conference is the SEC-it carries a lot of weight in post season baseball.

I feel like over the years vs “11” we were always money ahead with his tendency to shuffle his weekend starters to our regular season series attempting “to win everything”—our tendency has always been midweek guys and the pen in regular season—that way if we were to meet them in post season it would be their first time seeing our weekend starters.

Link Jarrett is a different coach—we need to be ready to play Gator Baseball.

 

I feel for the first time in awhile we have some serious LH hitters to challenge that short RF fence. I'm hoping Caglianone gets back to his hitting ways and sends one onto the top of the circus tent across the street. Cags, Riopelle, Halter, Robertson, and Schiekofer could all bang one off the fence at least.

 

​

 

Fascinating you say "we" when referring to the Gators. We've never met but I look forward to having a beer with you someday.

 

I heard that the semi-holes have a new mascot in their dugout-a tortoise with "11" painted on it's shell.

 

Don't forget Kurland

 

It’s quite possible he dislikes the noles as much as most of us. Lol. He definitively disliked old 11 more than most of us.

 

According to a FSU site, RHP Ben Barrett (0-0, 3.18 ERA) will pitch for FSU. RHP Tyler Nesbitt (1-0, 1.17 ERA) for the good guys.

 

Great news. Well done. Nesbitt is our man tomorrow. Go 5, then all hands on deck minus weekend starters. We can and got to do this in Tallahassee tomorrow evening.

In us marches Florida, always and forever.

 

I was discussing Left Hand Hitters. Kurland can certainly hit it around but we haven't had as many LHH in awhile.

 

I realized what you meant after I posted, however I want Kurland hit a few over the fence lol

 

Ben Barrett seems like the FSU 2 way player version of Cags. He is an intriguing pick for the midweek. I'll be watching which starting pitcher is allowed to go longer.
