Look at that. LSU gets a runner on, moves him over and slaps a single into right field and scores a run. Maybe we should try that instead of swinging out of our shoes at every pitch.
I don’t recognize this approach at the plate. Seems like we’ve been infected with this three true outcome crap where every ab were trying to hit an hr, walk or k. I HATE that approach.
Ugly loss they just need to flush and come out ready to play tomorrow. The problem is that Saturdays have been the day we use, basically, freshman pitchers and it's been tough. Just got to play better and have a better approach at the plate on offense.
Pitching wasn't awful tonight, but as Bradley mentioned the at bats were awful. Hopefully we swing it better tomorrow.
Pitching was acceptable. Encouraging start for Fisher I thought. Lineup has to do its part. 4 hits and 17 Ks isnt going to get it done. That guys a good pitcher but unacceptable effort by the lineup.

Great win tonight. Pitching seems like it’s settling down. We weren’t seeing the ball that well but we clawed our way on base and had some guys do damage. Unreal game by Ty Evans.
Cags tomorrow for the series.
Cags tomorrow for the series.
Bullpen was awesome tonight.

Shelton was not meant to be a leadoff hitter. He struggled mightily there last night. Will be interesting to see what lineup O'Sullivan puts out there this afternoon. Taking this series weould be great.
After the LSU batter hit a solo shot he posed at the plate and ran his mouth to Cags and Heyman. Warning was issued to both sides, then when Cags struck out next batter he said a few things to him on way to dugout and hitter talked back. LSU coach came out screaming at the ump for not going after Cags then the ump ejects him.
Probably our best overall game of the season. Tough to get wins on the road so it's really nice to pick up this series.
Heartwarmer story out of Clemson. FSU went up there 19-0 and left 19-2. In Game 1 they scored 4 runs in the first inning and lost 15-5. In Game 2 Clemson scored 8 runs in the bottom of the 9th and beat them 9-8. And in Game 3, FSU blew an 11-2 lead and lost 14-12.
Nice second inning. You see these kids and it’s like how they get squared up all the time? They all throw mid 90s with wicked breaking stuff.
3 hits, 2 by Caglionone, 13 strikouts and the pitching staff got blasted once again.

No. 6 Florida Falls to No. 17 Florida State in Jacksonville - Florida Gators
The Gators plated three runs in the first but were held scoreless in the final seven frames.

Not really. We have the #1 SOS in the country because of not only our SEC schedule, but our midweek schedule is against teams in the state of Florida, who are all good. Midweek games test your pitching depth and this year we just don't have it.
Yeah but guys like Mcnealie, Philpot and Slater have all pitched better in SEC weekend series than they have midweek.
Also, 3 hits? FSU’s bullpen got absolutely wrecked by Clemson over the weekend.

Agree that we strike out way too much and some games our bats just disappear. The bottom third of our batting order is extremely weak. But on the pitching, not quite accurate. Except for last Saturday against LSU, the freshmen relievers have, for the most part, not been good midweek or weekends. Slater has been a little more inconsistent than the last 2 years, but has had really good outings both midweek and weekends.
McNeillie - ERA 10.29. Good weekend outing vs. Columbia, horrible midweek outing vs. Stetson, followed by bad weekend outing vs. Miami. Really bad midweek vs. UCF, then bad weekend outing vs. St. Marys. 1 inning vs. Texas A&M was good. Decent midweek outing vs. Jacksonville, 2.1 innings, 0 hits, 1 walk, 1 hbp, followed by an OK weekend outing vs LSU, 2.1 inning, 2 hits and 3 walks, but no runs.
Philpott - ERA 5.91 - OK weekend outing vs. St. Johns, 1.1 innings, no hits, 2 walks. Very good midweek outing vs. UNF, 3 innings, 2 hits, 2 walks, 0 runs. Good weekend outing vs. Columbia, 3 innings 2 hits, 1 walk no runs. Very good midweek outing vs. Bethune-Cookman. Bad midweek outing vs. UCF. Bad weekend vs. St. Marys in 2 appearances. Got nobody out, faced 1 batter and gave up a hit, then in his 2nd appearance he pitched 1.1 innings and have up a HR. Was bad in midweek game vs. FSU, then had a bad weekend outing against Texas A&M - Got nobody out, walking the only 2 batters he faced. Bad midweek game vs. Jacksonville, did not pitch vs. LSU and then had a bad midweek outing vs. FSU last night.
Slater - ERA 3.51. He's been in 14 games, 7 midweek and 7 weekends. He's only had 3 bad outings, really. 2 against FSU and 1 against Miami.
Jameson - ERA 4.19 - He's been in 12 games, 6 midweek and 6 weekend. His worst outings have been in weekend games against St. Johns & Columbia and 2 midweek games against FSU. Other games he's been OK to pretty good.
Purnell - ERA 6.75 - He has 11 appearance, but has only pitched 8 innings total, 4 in weekend games, 7 midweek games. He's had 2 good weekend appearances and 2 bad ones. In midweek appearances, he's had 5 decent outings and 2 really bad ones.
Satin - ERA 1.08 - He's been in 8 games, but only thrown 8.1 innings. His problem is walks, as he's given up 10, but only 1 earned run. He's pitched in 3 weekend games and 1 midweek game and his only run was against UCF, but he's been OK whenever he's been put in.
The one reliever who definitely has been more effective on the weekends than midweek is Grayson Smith. ERA 7.30. He's been in 5 weekend games and 5 midweek games. He's not had a bad weekend outing yet, although he's only thrown 12.1 innings total, but his only bad outings have come against UCF, Jacksonville and FSU twice.
Overall, our more experienced relievers (Slater, Jameson, Purnell) have been OK, but have had good and bad outings both midweek and weekends. The freshmen, as a group, have struggled whenever they've been used except for last Saturdy against LSU, where they were very good.
