Baseball vs. FAU, Tue 3/7, 6:00 pm

Hopefully Gator pitching "breezes" right thru their lineup. Its going to be interesting that's for sure.

 

For our entire Gators Pitching Staff:
Pitch, don’t throw…..when you’re in a pitcher’s count—smell the blood in the water—take pride in your job, locate-locate-locate with command/control/and confidence.

Work hard to duplicate your proper mechanics for you!

Leave no doubt that you belong on that mound!

 

I would imagine Slater gets one of the starts. Tejada the other?

 

Really hoping Heyman gets a start on Tuesday at least. Not playing at all over the weekend made me wonder if had the flu also. That said Riopelle did a great job handling this team and deserved his time behind the plate. I just think Heyman could at least get some more time at DH when Cags isn't in the DH spot.

 

We know better than that . It will be a dogfight for sure . These guys are good

 

Probably..: and hopefully they can stretch it out . If we have trouble locating these guys will barrel it . And dammit no hit batters .

 

Singer did OK plunking a few.

 

Of course unless if we can't find the plate is our location problem.

 

​

 

Yea but he is in the bigs ! This staff can’t do that

 

I’m wondering if our new park is a launching pad ?

 

Unless it’s first hitter, first pitch, 4-seam FB mid-rib cage high to both make a point and set up the DP

 

Well of course. Our luck they retaliate and hit Wyatt or Cags on the knee cap

 

Thunder or Thumper this kid is special.

 

I think he's from Trenton!!! That I do know.

 

Agree on Heyman and want to see a new group or at least a different rotation of relief pitchers run out there.
Tejeda to start Tuesday
Slater Wednesday
Pen I’d like to see
Tuesday
Fisher
Ursitti
Nesbitt
Arroyo
Wednesday

Abner
Jameson
Purnell
Neely if needed for an inning
Obviously all these guys might not pitch but interested to see a few others get a quality inning or two against a solid club.

 

They can’t—they’ve already received a warning from ol’blue….

 

Certainly agree with your two starters and relievers for Tuesday. I'm hoping Sully has a few other arms to mix it there for Wednesday like Ficarrotta and Hartzog.

 

Here's the thing about these two games and our pitchers. This is the last week of with two midweek games. Sully has said he likes to stack all the double midweeks at the start of the season so he can test the bullpen to see what he's got. I agree with that. But I believe it also means after this week a few of these pitchers will see their opportunities given taking a dive. So its real important for a few of these guys that has been struggling to show improvement and prove they can go in there and get some outs. So on Wednesday if you are wondering why Sully has a few troubled arms coming into the game he probably is giving them one last chance at meaningful outs. Otherwise going forward he might only use them with games that are lost causes. I might be putting too much into this but that's just me.
