This series is simply going to come down to execution, timely hitting and big plays. I just remember how they beat us like a drum in the WCWS last year and want our ladies to make a statement that we're just as good or better than them and that last year's 10-0, 5 inning beatdown was a fluke and not really reflective of a real difference between the 2 teams. Go Gators!!

 

I imagine we'll see a HEAVY dose of Kavan. I would not be surprised to see her all 3 games, whether she be the starting pitcher or coming in relief. The pitcher who shut us down last year is #4 in IP this year for them, so maybe we see her considering what she did to us last year but she somewhat has struggled. USF really knocked her around for 7 hits and 5 runs in 2 innings. I think Kavan starts game 1 and 3, meanwhile game 2 will be a pitch by committee.

 

Doubleheader Saturday, no game Sunday.
No. 3 Florida and No. 2 Texas Series Adjusted - Florida Gators

 

Dang....gotta lug that other TV back into the family room again. Maybe I should just leave it there for a while.

 

I fear the Auburn and A&M game will bleed into the tv time of the first game.

 

100% they are only in the top of the 2nd, 40 minutes in....

 

It 100% will

 

If we can either lay off or hit the rise we will be fine

 

Should be available in the app and/or on one of the other channels at the start.

 

agree - We should be able to watch on SEC+ until the first game is over.

 

Gotta hope for the run rule!

 

Well, the Auburn catcher is freaking nuts and trying to make certain it is a three hour game even if it only goes five innings. After every pitch she crawls to her feet and strolls at least 3/4 of the way to the circle and tosses the ball underhand to the pitcher. More than half of the time she actually strolls all the way to the circle and hands the ball to the pitcher. Never seen anything like it. I don't know if there is a rule to make her stop but it is absurd.

 

Oxley to start

 

The pitcher who shut the Gators down used an off speed drop ball as I recall.

Our Social Media has really stepped up this year with showing off this program

 

Did Tim just say on the radio interview that Keagan was going on Monday night? I wasn't paying attention and only caught part of it.
