Gator Baseball 2024 OFFICIAL ROSTER/Transfer Tracker/Lineup???

It's becoming a PC issue around here if you mention the unmentionable name. I wasn't there but perhaps you saw Philpott who is tall and lanky as well. Be careful in the future about calling out any PC info or you might get banned by the mods.

 

Excellent info Paid. Yep if 18 is throwing bullpen you got more than anyone else has so far.

 

Something of note again that I mentioned last week....
Reading today's comments from practice we see the team that includes Kurland, Shelton, Cags, Robertson, and usually Shelnut having a problem once again scoring runs when they face starters like Fisher and Peterson. I get the difficulty facing our best pitchers but they aren't doing much against any of the relievers as well. Does this mean our best pitchers are better than our best hitters or does it mean our best hitters are coasting into the season? None of this will matter of course in another week when we all find out how good we are.

But on the flip side the team with most of the freshmen are scoring plenty of runs. They are seeing pitchers like Cags and Satin that are fastball for strike pitchers and the guys are probably all sitting dead red fastball. As I said before could it be Sully has his key starters working on things that is causing the lack of production or maybe Sully is calling pitches differently depending on who is up to bat? I doubt it but a trend has been happening for most of the spring now. Hopefully someone remembers to throw the switch this Friday and turn the power back on in our starting bats.

 

Looking forward to getting out to practice Saturday. I expect to see Peterson starting on the mound and maybe Cags since he DH'ed on Friday. Also I see in the other notes Sully had Guy in CF and Robertson back in RF. Plus Robertson was batting low in the order. Obviously Sully has not gotten enough from his bat to keep Robertson in the leadoff. If this continues Sat/Sun then we can expect an early lineup change for the season's start.

 

It will be important to see if Sully keeps playing Robertson in RF until Evans is ready. I don't think either Guy or Robertson will leadoff for now. As to the R-L-L-R, I recall early in the fall Sully ran a few experiments with Shelton batting before Kurland then Cags and Heyman. So its very possible we might see that again.

I also thought it interesting that Sully started Yost in CF yesterday as well. I think that gives Yost an even greater chance to play before Brookins some where in the OF, since he has show to be a good hitter that can cover some ground.

 

Tick....Tick....tick..tick..tick

 

Welcome once again sports fans to another beautiful evening at The Condron. Scrimmage action is late starting but we should start seeing the field prep start soon. We have 2 RHP warming in the OF.

 

Back from an absolutely great night of baseball. That was one of the better scrimmages that I have seen this fall and spring. Props to the coaches for setting up a competitive, action packed night and showed us the starters all playing together with what looked to be the players for this Saturday. We also saw most of our best pitchers and had a good night overall. I don't recall a single error on either side for some good clean baseball. I even appreciated the starters breaking thru and getting the hits you would expect while facing good pitching. Best of all we almost went WWF Smackdown on the field tonight before tempers were settled, more on that later.

 

We started in the Top of the 2nd with White/Orange up to bat. They were the backups but were supported with pitching from Slater, Jones and Smith.

Next up the Blue hitting

 

From the Bottom of the 2nd you could see what Sully hopes to have for the lineup and maybe the batting order for this Saturday. They faced Slater who pitched very well, gave up more hits, but prevented any runners from scoring other than one very important run.

In the field for the White...
P - Slater 13
C - Garrison 26
1B - Wilson 30
2B - Mummau 5
SS - Albert 44
3B - Martinez 23
LF - Brookins 24
CF - Guy 50
RF - Evans 2 did not bat

4 - Single to CF
14(DH) - GO ruled a double play but crowd disagreed

Bottom 3rd Neely P mph 91
28 - Single to RF
10 - PO to deep SS
6 - Single (3-2 count) to LF runners on 1st and 3rd
29 - SO on 3 pitches - ugly AB for 29
16 - runner at 1st steals second on ball in dirt - SO

Bottom 4th "Macho Man" Slater P
*****This is where things got interesting
1 - Dale "Hulk Hogan" Thomas connects on his deepest HR I've seen him hit and ties it up 1-1
Note - Thomas starts a very slow walk all the while watching and watching and watching. I even pointed him out not starting any trot and staring down Slater. Slater finally turns to see Thomas still walking and staring at Slater and is about half way to first. Slater erupts and calls Thomas out for the display. Slater approaches as he rounds first and they both start jawing quite loudly. Thomas is trotting by now but Slater keeps up his intensity as Thomas rounds second looking back and yelling back. Slater then starts stomping over to the third base line to confront but catcher Garrison trots over in full gear as the middle man. Both continue to argue as Slater is held back saying get your "Bleepity, Bleepity, Bleep back to dugout". It took awhile for calm to return to the field needless to say. Later you could hear Thomas explaining to Sully "I didn't say Bleep to him".
Anyway tie game 1-1 no one out.
11 - Bunt attempt but was thrown out by C on a bang bang play
4 - SO
14 - Double against the CF wall, Guy playing deep crashed into the wall as ball got there but was unable to make the play - man on 2nd
28 - runner at 2nd tagged out attempting to steal 3rd - GO

Bottom 5th Neely P hit 94 mph
10 - FO to RF
6 - FO to LF
29 - Single up the middle
16 - SO

Bottom of the 6th - 48 Hunter Jones comes into pitch
Note: I was very disappointed because Thomas was next up to bat and hoped Slater would get another chance. I was all set to yell out "Remember to duck" as Thomas stepped in. Maybe next time....
1 - GO to SS
11 - SO
4 _ SO

Bottom of the 7th Jones P mph 93
14 - Walk
28 - Single to LF runners 1st and 2nd
