Baseball vs. Miami, Sat 3/4, 4:51 pm

Thanks Gal, hopefully we can win the rubber match tomorrow.

 

Maybe Cags can throw a complete game tomorrow

 

We need a healthy Coppola back in a bad way.

 

I’d love to see Fisher again tomorrow, Nesbitt and Ursitti. How can the last two do any worse that 4-5 others have? We will never know unless we give them a chance.
Some will say Finn got pounded. Yes, but at least he was given a chance.

 

C'mon Gators, get up and go!

GO GATORS!!!!

 

Middle relievers awful. Granted Miami can hit but we never have a big enough lead when our starter goes out. Coach has to find 2-3 he can count in. So far nada

 

Sully said the "bullpen is a little bit inconsistent. ?.

 

For the second time this season I felt like Sully rode Waldrep too long, but I think it is now painfully obvious as to why.

 

I'll be eating crow and giving explanations over on my roster feed if anyone is interested.

 

What a waste of a fine start.

Stayed to the bitter end and never made it to the O'Dome for the basketball regular season finale.

 

Friends, we are all concerned about the quality of the bullpen but tonight Sully's poor decisions let this game get out of hand and handed Miami a win and huge momentum.
Waldrep pitched extremely well against a very good team with the wind continuing to blow out. Through 6 he had 14 Ks had allowed only three runs and was well into his pitch count-- 90+. Gators up 6-3 and it was time for Gators to send out our best guy... Neely and more importantly with a clean slate. Neely was a starter last year so why not go 3 innings and clinch the series. But no, Sully sent a tiring Waldrep out in the 7th and predictably he ran into trouble and then... the house came down
I think Sully will kick himself for some of his decisions that led to this embarrassing defeat. With a 6-3 lead go to win the series and worry about tomorrow ... tomorrow. Very disappointing

 

Well said and much better than my vented ramblings.

 

Shame about Waldrep, the box score shows he gave up 5 runs. It feels kind of like Sproat's first start when after he left Abner came in there and gave up two quick hits without getting an out to allow two more runs to score. Thanks for nothing bullpen.

 

Pitchers...

 

4 have barely pitched.
Tejeda could have pitched yesterday.

Ursitti could have pitched yesterday

Nesbitt could have pitched yesterday.

Arroyo could have pitched yesterday.
Your right, we have 19. When 4-5 are struggling move on to others. Trotting the same guys out there and expecting a different result ain’t never gonna work. Our bullpen is probably one of the worst in the country. I don’t care who you throw but try one of the 4 that haven’t received much opportunity. Can they do any worse? They came to UF because they have talent. Give them a chance to show it.

 

Very well said. Seen the same thing relative to our pen for a few years now.

 

I totally agree. I would love to hear the reasoning behind why we don't.
