Probably our best pitching effort of the season. Hopeful we can get at least 1.Gators get excellent pitching tonight at #2 Arkansas, but just couldn't get anything going on offense. Copploa, Jameson & McNeillie were very, very good.
Florida Edged by No. 2 Arkansas in Opener - Florida Gators
Gators pitchers allowed just two runs on three hits and three walks while fanning 11 batters.floridagators.com
We were literally 3 plays away from the sweep. We actually played fairly well and our pitching was not awful. Play like this over these next 9 sec games and I could see 6-3.Gators go 1-2 vs. Arkansas. Could have easily swept or at least won the series. 11 games left, 9 of them against ranked SEC teams. Got to finish above .500 to make the post season and are 22-21 now.

Florida's nine runs in the finale were the most allowed by Arkansas this season.floridagators.com
Our SOS is now #1. We need to win our 2 remaining midweek games (FAU & USF) and then go 4-5 in our final SEC games. That win get us in IMO.Really thought we were going to turn the season around. Very disappointing to see the bullpen collapse again in game 2. Slater has had a really tough year.
They showed a ton of fight to win game 3. They showed they can compete with anyone anywhere. Just have to make the plays when they’re there.
We’ve got 3 series left to show we’re a tourney team.
After the upcoming games I doubt it will drop from the #1 spot.Our SOS is now #1. We need to win our 2 remaining midweek games (FAU & USF) and then go 4-5 in our final SEC games. That win get us in IMO.
Needed the W as FAU not all that great.It was ugly, but it was a win. That's all that matters at this point.

Videos of Georgia pitcher before and during his dominant outing leads A&M coach to suspect cheating
Videos showing Georgia’s Christian Mracna’s activity in the bullpen and during a dominant performance in a game at top-ranked Texas A&M has led Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle to tell The Associated Press he suspects the pitcher was putting a foreign substance on the ball.apnews.com
Hmm...
Schloss is on a heater. Said some SEC team is using live tv feed to steal signs.
Sounds right. Going to be close unless we get really hot...Was listening to the D1 baseball podcast and they said 5-5 in the last 10 gets us in.
Donay has come on strong with the bat once he got inserted into the starting lineup on a regular basis after Gaqrrison's injury. But he's clearly only th 3rd best catcher on the team. Too many ball get by him and he doesn't help his pitcher much on borderline pitches - the way he yanks the ball back into the strikes zone. You have to be more subtle than hat to get some calls. Yost has been excellent for sure.Donay and Yost have been nice additions to the lineup. Yost is pretty spiffy in left field also and then shelnut can play third.
Donay makes it a little interesting behind the plate but he’s been getting the job done.
One thing that baffles me about this team, with all the problems we’ve had with walks, is why do we keep calling breaking balls on the first two pitches? McNealie put the 7 and 9 hitter on throwing breaking balls early in the count and then got the top of the lineup out with fastballs. Why do we do this to ourselves over and over? Particularly the bottom of the lineup?
Agree that our infield is functional other than cags. I do think shelnut is better than Thomas over there though. When Thomas was over there with Shelton it seemed like 3 out of 4 ground balls over there ended up hits.Donay has come on strong with the bat once he got inserted into the starting lineup on a regular basis after Gaqrrison's injury.

As for the infield, only Caglionone is a high quality defensive player, IMO. The other guys don't have much range at all. They're adequate, but not what Gatolr baseball has been used to over the years.
Agree with both points you made. Shelnutt is a very versatile player - OF, 3B, 1B.Agree that our infield is functional other than cags. I do think shelnut is better than Thomas over there though.

Shelton plays good enough d considering his bat at SS. Donay is a pretty impressive athlete, jumping around back there at 6’7. In any event, his bat has to be in the lineup.
Ryan Slater and Cade Fisher were money out of the bullpen last year. For whatever reason, they have regressed this year and have been awful most of the time.Hard to win series in baseball when you’ve got a bunch of timebombs in your bullpen and you don’t know where or when they’re going to go off. Game is 3-1 in the fifth and you look up and it’s 13-3. What did they run a pick back for a touchdown or something.
