It's Time FSU

Cute. You snap a 5 game losing streak against us and now you've got a boner lasting longer than 5 hours.
Well, we play the rubber match in Tallahassee on Tuesday. Florida comes in on a 4 game winning streak, having scored double digit runs in each of those wins. FSU is currently on a 4 game losing streak, scoring a cumulative total of 4 runs and getting shut-out in one.
Baseball can be a strange game. UF couldn't buy a hit against Missouri last weekend and scores 60 runs in 4 games this week. Last week FSU made a big jump in the polls and UF fell after losing 3 out of 4 that week. Now FSU loses 4 in a row and UF wins 4 in a row. Doesn't get any easier for FSU with series against Miami and Louisville coming up.
i know you're joking, but this series has lost something since it has become 3 random games in March and April with mostly the same pitchers for every game. Your one guy had our number last year and we found a guy this year. Blah...Miami in a week and a half.

FSU's pitcher's are going to have their hands full with the UF's bats. Those batting averages you all have are sick. FSU has had some timely hitting this off season with good enough pitching. UF seems to be the favorite, but baseball is a funny game,,,
Any baseball series between teams with similar talent is pretty much a coin flip. Gators get the edge, because they hit much better at home, particularly Bader, who I hope we keep at the top of the lineup. You are right that the lineup is solid up and down, and Schwarz is just a superstar siting in the middle of it. Our defense is spectacular, and we have two big time starters. But like you say, it is baseball, and FSU has plenty of guys who can beat you.
Should be a monster series. Our guys really deserve a trip to Omaha with the season they've had. Hope it happens for them.

Pretty happy with our season. I think FSU over achieved this season winning the ACC and making it to the Supers. One of Martin's better jobs he has done but I expect the run to end. Home field is huge in the Supers and UF is a little better top to bottom.
FSU's defense has been a weak point this year. The team has also been a bit streaky. We are in the midst of a post season hot streak of seven in a row, but had lost five a row to end the regular season. All conference games that included Clemson(3) and Louisville(2). FSU is a 'box of chocolates' this year for sure,,,
I think that I agree with you, but honestly I don't know. I'll repeat what I said above that the previous three games don't really tell us much. None of the pitchers that started any of those three games will start this weekend. Might not even see them at all save for a few innings of middle relief. Since pitching is such a large part of baseball it leaves me wondering.
Yep. This series is not one sided this year. Igloos nice stats show that. The games should be electric.
That is the normal rotation. And if we go to a Sunday game, then Faedo will undoubtedly start.
The last really good starter we faced was LSU. We only scored 2, but should have had more. We had plenty of guys on base. We have been streaky on offense, but I'm hopeful that our current hot streak is more a product of the young guys maturing. Rivera, Reed and Vasquez are really tough outs now. Alonso has been good since he got back, but I think he's got another gear we haven't seen yet this year. Schwarz has gone from very good to nuclear and Bader has hit all year at home.
The good thing is that we're good in low scoring games, because of our speed on the bases and our bullpen. Plus these kids are tough minded.

The Gators have won 10 of the 14 previous NCAA Tournament meetings in the series but Florida State has won the last two meetings – both in elimination games in 2008 (Tallahassee Regional) and 2010 (CWS). Competition has been close between these two schools during the postseason as 10 of the 14 previous meetings have been decided by four runs or less.

SHORE DRAWS THE START IN GAME ONE FOR FLORIDA
Sophomore Logan Shore will be on the mound for the hosts in the series opener with FSU. The right-hander will be making his team-best 17th start and is 8-6 with a 2.64 ERA. He has registered 69 strikeouts in a team-leading 95.1 innings. In his last outing, Shore threw five dominant innings in the 19-0 win over Florida A&M, allowing just a pair of singles.

Looks like FSU will start Boomer Biegalski, 2.80 ERA with a 7-4. He has played in 17 games and started 16. Mike Compton is apparently the game two starter. He has 3.30 ERA, is 4-3 and has started and played in 12 games
