Gator Baseball 2022 Roster/Lineup/Batting Order

Sully’s hunch proved correct last night. Mac’s night shows how we are struggling at the plate. Without him last night we end up with 2 runs on the board.
Worried about Halter but something tells me he has a solid game tonight.

 

87—

Where is the “TRUTH” emoji when you really need it!

 

Mac has produced!! His selection has been way more than justified.

Not sure about some of the other sticks lately but Mac has earned a run here. Give him another 3-4 games. Hard to argue with the results so far!!!

 

Winner!!!!
But this kid was a gamer and state champ at age 14-15. Venice kids are unbelievably coached and productive. Look at our guys from Venice in Guthrie, Rivera, Aaron Rhodes, Guscette and Robertson will impress.

 

I like this line up a lot. Moving Halter down may help him as he’s just not seeing it well. A lot of his issues stem from front shoulder and I’m sure he knows that. Deric is going to have to bunt a little more as he’s struggling catching up to fastballs right now. He will be fine and think he’s perfect at the 9 spot.
Like Guscette in the 6 spot too. Kid’s baseball iq will always drive him situationally. If we need a sac fly he knows that.
I really like Josh in the 3-5 spot. He will always find a way to give ya good quality AB’s most of the time.

 

shane—

In all of your descriptions of our hitters I see the most “flags” with Deric and Colby. It’s kinda alarming to me that all of a sudden Deric can’t get to the FB’s—but when I watch him what I see is his swing has gotten way too long—earlier he was doing a good job of pulling his hands inside the baseball and getting the barrel to it. Got to get back to what works.

Colby’s not seeing it well like he was earlier—and that has led to him pressing IMHO.

 

Yeah, agree, other teams can start Deric with fastball and he’s behind it. Halter ( had a son that was a lefty swinger) would benefit watching some Chipper video. Chipper always focused on front shoulder as taught by dad. We used to teach/talk about “staying short and staying on the ball” and we would show. Both young men are very long and “off” the ball with head flying causing front shoulder to go. Looks like they are trying to pull everything.

 

Matherly: I hate to put this all you but it's been a while since you've been able to proudly proclaim someone was from Ocala. . .get them boys back on track lol.
Really interested to see if we see any difference in the lineup today (both in terms of personnel and batting order). Can't keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.

 

Last night's game turned in the 6th when Gators loaded the bases loaded wit no outs and failed to get even a fly ball sac- KC trying to pull, rolled one over to 3rd for easy force at plate, D Fabian- overmatched weakly popped to 1st and Rivera skied to left 1-2 batters too late. Bottom of 6th... we know what happened and that was that. Lack of clutch hitting or a lack of strategy to try to scratch out at least the first run of the game. Put a play on for god's sake with Fabian.

 

Same lineup today

 

Barco, Sproat, and Neely or Nesbitt is most likely....Slater maybe the only other possible

 

Yep. Barco, Sproat, Neely.

 

Another disaster from the bullpen. 0-3 vs. Georgia with 3 much better teams to face over the next 3 weekends.

 

Barco, Sproat, Neely. Just hope somebody can get outs 2 games in a row. Optimistic I know
