Gator Baseball 2022 Roster/Lineup/Batting Order

There had to be English teachers all over the country that cringed every time they heard him on sports news—and I loved it!

 

I would approach it the way UGA did. Start a guy you don’t expect to be a big piece of the weekend. If you are lucky, try to win the game with your normal bullpen pieces. If you aren’t lucky, oh well. All-in and everyone is ready for Game 2 and 3.

I think Slater is a big piece of Saturday/Sunday.

 

87—

What am I missing? Why at the college level would the family have say in released information? Guess I didn’t expect to read that….

 

Barco is our only realistic chance to get a win. This UT team is freaking good. This weekend could be ugly.

If Sully's out it's for off field issues which would explain alot.

 

Barco is sidelined indefinitely with elbow issues.

 

Well with Barco out indefinitely, you have to find a new starter.

So that changes my view. If Sproat is rested enough, I would go Sproat. He should be ready. He pitched on 5 days earlier this year and did ok.

Then on Sunday, Nesbitt or Slater again or Manning or Hail Marys? No idea… Being down Coppola and Barco with Manning not pitching as desired, the rotation is a bit of a mess!!!

 

Greg—

Where is the emoji for “understatement of the year?”

 

I would guess HIPAA confidentiality is what the concern might be

 

My goodness, this is the worst news imaginable- I thought maybe it was an oblique or rib cage issue- miss a start- but elbow- jeez- we know what that could mean but if one thinks back Barco wasn't quite himself for several starts- I'm wondering if he was starting to favor some part of his delivery- he'd started to lose some of his lights-out control dating back three starts but gutted it out. Man- this is devastating and he's a really great kid. Wishing him all the best- hope it is not what one thinks when we hear elbow issue.

 

Gotta go Full Bullpen session on Friday - with hope for Sproat and Neely to be on top of game Saturday and Sunday- and if the bullpen guys can pull it off Friday- we may be in good shape. Stanger things have happened. Two innings a piece L-R-L-R or the other way round but keep Vols off balance. Fingers crossed. Go Gators

 

No-- bullpen session on Friday- hope for the best- and keep Sproat and Neely on schedule.

 

I agree with the strategy IF you assume Barco is coming back later in the year. Elbow issues, probably not coming back… You have to find a 3rd starter if you want to make the postseason. Or you tank every Friday game and hope your Sat/Sun guys get it done. I guess that is an option.

 

Hunter Barco out with elbow discomfort

 

Our hitters, for the most part, have no discipline at the plate and swing at way too many pitches out of the zone while taking those right down the middle. Similar to the softball team. The team is not improving as the season progresses and it doesn't bode well for the eventual outcome.

 

Well said. From your mouth to god’s ears. Sully’s gotta do something.
