Gator Baseball 2020

This last game was actually very good for us rather than another 15-5 type affair where we would cruise. Showed us some adversity where we had to work through it at the end and we will need that this coming week with FSU showing up midweek then the great UGLY from Athens tainting Gainesville with it's presence come Friday the 13th.
 
Wow! I know it’s early but this group has a lot going on. Good starting pitching, relief pitching, hitting for average and power. Clutch hitting and defense. It’s going to be an interesting season.

Unreal start. The only negative so far is that they strike out way too much. This week is going to be a huge test, but what a start!
 
Gators escaped a jam in the top of the 7th. Runners on second and third with no outs. Bottom of the 7th still 1-0 FSU
 
I found the stream. Noles up 2-0 in the top 8. Gators with only 2 hits. Duke just took 2 out of 3 from nolies.
 
Surprised the noles used Messick, but they did. That kid can pitch. He faced 11 batters and struck out 7 to close out the game. He threw 48 pitches so I guess he will be good to go this weekend. We only had 3 hits tonight.
 
Gators have 21 home runs on the year, all against right handed pitchers. Martin, Jr. used 2 lefties and took advantage of our weakness. Other teams will be aware of the issue and our guys are going to have to adjust. Give FSU's pitchers credit tonight. Those 2 guys were great. The one weakness in our team that I've seen the first 17 games is that we strike out way too much. The offense is much better than last year overall, but we take too many pitches right down the middle and strike out too much - 15 times tonight I think. Oh well. Had to lose at some point. Just jate that is was against the Noles. Now have to get our heads straight for a big series vs. #3 Georgia. That will be tough.
