2023 Baseball & Softball Thread

Even for baseball, we need every SEC win we can get if we’re trying to be a National seed. And the wins aren’t going to be easy from here on out: aTm, UK, Vandy, USC. And Georgia can put some runs up if they run into some sketchy pitching.

Skylar Wallace had 3 HR and 7 RBI as Gator softball run-ruled Georgia 13-4 in 6 innings. The win improves the Gator record to 30-10, 7-6 in the SEC and drops the Bulldogs to 32-9, 11-4 in the SEC.
 
Gators bb on their way to the worst loss of the season. I understand you’re sticking with your closer and I don’t second guess sully but lord have mercy 6 runs and counting in the 9th inning.
 
Yeah that was ugly. On one hand it’s tough when your lights out closet gives up three hits and loads the bases before you can blink. It happened so fast, we probably couldn’t have got someone warmed up in time to stop the grand slam. On the other hand, you would think you can’t ever ever lose a Friday night conference game up 5 runs in the ninth inning!

It's baseball. Nobody goes undefeated. Get to the 18-20 win mark and Gators will host. 20+ and most likely a national seed. Good win for the softball team.

Yeah I mean teams up 5 runs in the 9th inning probably win 99.9 percent of the time, but these things do happen. I guess we’ve coughed it up twice this year.

This team is probably the most talented in the country but they do play bad infield defense and the bullpen has an unfortunate tendency to collapse every so often. Cags, god bless him, is a butcher at first base.

Anyway, let’s win one today and give ourselves a shot at the series tomorrow.

Gator softball wins the series against Georgia and goes for the sweep Sunday. Avery Goelz hit her 1st HR of the season, a 2-run shot in the bottom of the 5th inning, to give the Gators the 8-7 lead, while Rylee Trlicek pitched a scoreless final 3 innings in relief of Lexie Delbrey, to secure the win.
 
UF baseball got a walk off single in the bottom of the 9th to beat Georgia 2-1 in a great pitcher's duel. Hurston Waldrep threw the first 7 innings, while Ryan Slater pitched the last 2 and got the win. Rubber game at 1 pm Sunday.

Got to watch the last few innings. We had really good pitching. If this team ever figures out how to put the pitching and hitting together they have a legit shot.
 
walks and errors really hurt the baseball team. Just throw strikes. Same thing happened on Friday night. Hard to win when you walk the 8 and 9 hitters. Goodness.
 
3 walks here in the 8th. This is shaping up to be a Friday night redo. Curious how at times our bullpen can't throw strikes. Dawgs have erased a 6 run deficit.
 
Gator baseball takes the Georgia series 2-1 with an 11-6 win over the Bulldogs Sunday. Jac Caglionone pitched 5 innings to get the win, plus hit a 3-run HR and a grand slam to help the gator cause. Florida faces FAMU Tuesday and then heads to South Carolina for next weekend. Gators finish the first half of their SEC season 11-4.

11-4 good first half. Second half the schedule is tougher. Vandy and SC two top 10 teams. AM and Mizzou are both solid. Kentucky's record is good, but not sure how good they are.
 
Total Bush League call by the ump.

Agree. But the bigger problem is that NCAA rules require a 4 game suspension for a pitcher who is ejected. That means the Top closer in the SEC with 7 saves won't be able to throw this weekend @ South Carolina. Hopefully, UF appeals and gets the SEC/NCAA to waive the suspension.
 
2nd worst ump call after that horrendous strike call about a month ago for that one ump who got suspended.

Idc about tradition, the sooner umpires are phased out of the game, and from making game changing decisions, the better.

Egos, bad attitudes, terrible decisions, etc.....and not a single time can it be said that umps make the game better.
 
Bad defense and bullpen losing the strike zone just cost us a run. Walk in a run with a guy hitting .150 up. Smdh.
 
5 runs on 2 singles. No way you make it through the postseason with blowups like that. Don’t think it’s a matter of cleaning it up either. It just is what it is at this point. Hopefully we score 15 runs a game.
 
Yikes. Roof fell in. We’ve responded to these kind of things all season. Let’s win a game tomorrow and give ourselves a shot at the series.
 
Well might as well win tomorrow anyway. We’ve got our best pitcher going.

Sully probably should have stuck with Abner and tried to get a couple innings out of him. But I think he was pissed he walked that dude hitting .150.

We only had 4 hits tonight against their ace. But on the other hand only gave up 8 hits. Odd game for sure.
