Gators open season with 6th straight win over Miami

Well, they're blowing the game today. Scored 5 in the first and had an 8-3 lead after 6 innings and now trail 10-8 in the bottom of the 13th. Sully left reliever JC transfer Aleman in in the top of the 9th, starting the inning with an 8-5 lead. The guy proceeded to walk 5 batters and hit 1, only getting 1 out before being taken out. I have never seen O'Sullivan stick with a pitcher who was that wild. Our bullpen has been bad the first 2 games. We hadn't scored since the 6th inning, but now have 1 in and 2 on with 1 out in the bottom of the 13th. 10-9 score.
 
Very mind numbing loss today. Blow big leads. Almost did the same last night. Sully needs to bet the pen settled. Need to get the rubber game tomorrow.
 
Mace & Leftwich get a lot of accolades, but I've been watching them their entire careers and they throw too many pitches. We've lucky when we get 5 innings out of them. And that stretches the bullpen. Logan Shore was our Friday night starter for 3 years and it was rare that he didn't go at least 7 innings and he often threw a complete game. That saves the bullpen for the rest of the weekend and gets less exposure for the other team to see our best relievers. Sully is a great coach and recruiter and today's loss was very un-Gator-like. But being consensus #1 puts a lot of pressure on the guys and fires up every team we'll face.
 
It’s the first two games of a long season. This team will do just fine. And you are correct UM has a quality baseball program.

Gators getting blasted so far today, down 6-0 in the 4th. Starter Hunter Barco was terrible and a freshman is shutting down our bats. I agree that the season is long an d Sully is a great coach. But this is not the start to the season anyone expected.

First series loss to the canes in a long time. I believe we had won 13 of the last 14 series against miami. Tough start, but lets see how this plays out. Need some bullpen help for sure.
 
FIRE O'SUL.
He's lost his touch and/or gone brain-dead.
With that talent level, he should win every game, otherwise he sucks.
Losing a 3 game series to a team that's barely in the Top 25 is embarrassing for Gator fans.


Now days, any baseball coach should never lose a series to a team that's not even in the Top 20.
I have a list of possible replacements for that bum just as soon as he's fired.... :cool:

Difference between White and Sully, is Sully has won countless SEC tournaments as well as CWS appearances. What has Mike White won?

Pay attention dimwit, I agree with firing useless Mike White, and do it today.

Sorry, but what any coach has done in the past is irrelevant, just like crappy Grantham.
I'm now all for firing any coach that isn't producing right now, and O'Sul fits in that category.
Losing the inaugural series in the new stadium to an in state rival that's not even ranked in the Top 20 is inexcusable.

Hell, SOS never won less than 9 games here and he never lost 3 in a row, so 8 win Dan needs replacing, especially if someone like Chip is available.... :cool:

Whatever you say, Butters Mcelwain lover! Can't forget you're also a 3rd and Grantham lover.
