Gator Baseball 2023 Official Roster Tracker/Lineup???

I thought I was already in detention after last night....

 

As for any change to the starting pitcher rotation, the short answer to keep the cost of rent down is I don't see it for this weekend. Why you ask, I don't think Sully wants to put a pitcher who has never pitched before at Tennessee as the first night starter. I also agree with 74, since this is a short week, to bump up Waldrep means he would be starting on only 5 days rest from Saturday to Thursday and that's not Sully in the middle of the season. As for change, just 3 weeks ago Sproat pitched the game of his college career and then two games since then with poor results. I feel Sully would rather show another week of results before making a pitching rotation change. All that said, one more week will give a 7-8 days rest turn around before Georgia comes to town for the more normal Friday to Sunday weekend. That way Waldrep will pitch this Friday and then could pitch next Friday if Sully makes the change.

Granted, Sully's last press conference included words like "We're playing with fire" and "Can't win every game with your offense" when speaking about our pitching problems. So I believe Sully is ready for a change but our starters know they better improve this weekend or a change is gonna come. If any change were to happen on Thursday I'd be less surprised if Sully started Neely or Nesbitt and then start Sproat on Friday and Waldrep on Saturday, using Cags as a closer for this weekend only. Sure that's out there but that's how much I feel this is the wrong weekend for a rotation change. Let's hope Sproat comes out on fire and shuts down any frat boy uprising and we get the game 1 win.

 

Its a very nice publicity layout but D1 has Sproat ahead of Waldrep on their positional rankings 14 vs 18.

 

Congrats to Rivera and Cags for making the mid season Golden Spikes list.

Great to see Kris Armstrong make the list. I guess they don't factor errors made in making this list.

 

Game Notes are out and willing to prognosticate the pitching rotation....

PROB. STARTER
RHP Brandon Sproat (4-1, 5.45 ERA)
RHP Hurston Waldrep (5-1, 4.74 ERA)
LHP Jac Caglianone (3-0, 4.18 ERA)

Still possibility of a change though
