Former GATOR Players

Jonathan India with a two run shot to put the reds up by two in the 9th.

*reds give up two homers to lose 6-4 in the bottom of the inning. Both teams scored 4 runs in the 9th.

 

Brady Singer has a fun opportunity tonight. Pitching at Yankee Stadium against Gerrit Cole.

 

Disco is pitching tonight as well. He goes against the Angels.

 

As a kid pitching at Yankee Stadium was my dream.

Being on the faculty at a good school was my other dream.

 

Mine was to pitch to Johnny Bench.

 

As a catcher and not a batter I bet.

 

Oh yeah, you got that right!

 

Brady only gave up 2 ER but he also only lasted 3.2IP. Gave up 5H and 5BB so his WHIP wasn’t good. Both runs were solo shots.

 

Not Gator related but it is Central Florida related. Zach Grienke is having a quietly good year for a 37 year old. We both graduated HS the same year in Orlando though I never faced him (thankfully as he would have made me look worse than I already did!). Even in Little League, I was in Altamonte and he was Apopka I think. Just never ran across him.

He is 8-2 with a 3.74 ERA. Considering he no longer has the gas he had early in his career, his ability to get smarter and more creative is quite the testament.

 

Jonathan India having a night…

2-4 with 3 runs scored (had a walk too). Batting average is .266 on the season.

 

By the way, Disco was tremendous. 7IP, 3H, 0ER, 9K. Got the W.

ERA is 2.77 on the year!!

 

Dane Dunning went 5 tonight. 2ER, 5H. In line to get the W.

 

He’s had a handful of really good outings.

 

Congrats Brady Smith
