If they just swing like they have been tomorrow will be their last day of the season. The Seniors are not doing NOTHING and letting way too many first and second pitches go right by them.

Coach Walton is lost and doesn't know what to do as these Seniors are ready to go home.

This is a joke, right?.

Hitting with runners in scoring position has been a problem for this team all year. The Georgia pitcher threw a great game and we didn't take advantage early on when we had scoring opportunities each of the first 3 innings. Stewart is not getting on base nearly as much as she did her 1st 3 years. Her on base percentage is probably .200 lower than in prior years. Popping it up an awful lot and she's been doing that the last half of the season. Kvistad has been our best RBI hitter all year and she's been in a slump since the SEC tournament. And Fuller, who hit the ball hard an awful lot the last 2 years, seems to have lost her confidence at the plate. But these are a great group of young ladies who know how to win and I fully expect them to come out tomorrow and find a way to win 2.

This result was very predictable after watching their last few games. This bracket they got put in is a joke anyway, yet again no matter being the back to back champs, Florida will never get the Bama money bag treatment in ANY sport.

Yea its a joke but he did look a little lost tonight from what I did see.

 

[46885]

He can't make those girls hit on his own

 

[46885]

He is the opposite of our baseball manager, if you want to question someone.................

They caught a very hot uga team. Their pitcher is really good and they are swinging the bats. We will need a heroic effort to win today and again tomorrow.

Plus we are playing very tight. Two errors already in the game today.

I agree on the 'letting the first pitch strikes go right by them' to often.
They need to be more 'aggressive' at the plate, be ready to swing on strikes on the 1st pitch. Last night a player I won't name stood there for 4 consecutive pitches without swinging the bat even once. Three of the pitches were strikes and she never took a swing before going to sit back down. What made that worse was it was the 6th or 7th inning and down by 3 runs....

To a slightly lesser extent, the same for the baseball team on 1st pitch strikes.
(especially with the blind/incompetent/corrupt umpires calling the low-outside balls as strikes)

With today's technology, I'd like to see a machine determining the strikes/balls instead of any paid-off or incompetent umpire making the calls. (because they SUCK at it)

Gators can not even catchaikovsky so simple popup. We r so screwed.

 

[palmvalley1]

Now thanks to the gift bases are loaded.

What is the score?

 

[MJWilliamson]

What is the score?

0-0.

Bottom of second. UGA is the home team for this game.

 

[Countygator]

0-0.

Same girl pitching for UGA?

 

[MJWilliamson]

Holy crap. Another error. And then she gives up a home run.

 

[Countygator]

Ouch. Sounds like its time to turn off the TV.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Five of our six losses this year have been when the other team scores first. UGA up 1-0.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Ouch. Sounds like its time to turn off the TV.

Yep. Mercifully today we take my youngest to dinner for her birthday. I can turn this carp fest off. and DVR the rest. If we win, I will watch it. If not, erase it.

 

[HardeeWildcatFan]

I told u guys a month ago it would be a short tournament for UF. These Seniors just don't handle pressure too well. It is what it is.

Only down 1 not so bad, if that is still the score. Maybe we can pull it together. We tend to bunch runs together.

 

[palmvalley1]

This team is a joke

 

[Countygator]

This team is a joke

It's been a good run, had to end sometime. We couldn't win it every year.

It is not the seniors making the errors.

 

[HardeeWildcatFan]

No? Research the last time a Senior has a base hit. How about the error at home plate between two seniors. Sorry I seen this come some time ago. It's on their faces they don't wanna be there.

 

[MJWilliamson]

It's on their faces they don't wanna be there.

My goodness.

 

[Countygator]

Last night they took a ton of first pitch fastballs for strikes. Is the same thing happening today?

 

[MJWilliamson]

Now we are up 2-1 bottom of 5th.

UGA pitcher having control problems

 

[ifuaintagatorumustbegatorbait]

We got the lead, but I'm still nervous. Two hit batters in an inning doesn't happen very often.
I'll take all the help we can get right now.

Not quite as much

Three Gator errors does not often happen either.

We were due

 

[ifuaintagatorumustbegatorbait]

^^^Good point MJ

 

[MJWilliamson]

Taylor Schwarz just made a fantastic defensive play. She is a senior.

 

[ifuaintagatorumustbegatorbait]

If someone questions the mental toughness of these seniors...they must have been living in a cave the past three years!

Yea, no kidding

 

[MJWilliamson]

Got through the top of UGA's order. Now just need three more outs with no runs.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Munro, another senior, with a nice base hit.

 

[ifuaintagatorumustbegatorbait]

My gawd I'm getting nervous...I really don't wanna lose to these Leghumpers.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Two more outs

TOE WAS DOWN! That was bullsh1t!
