Florida, down 10-1 to Stetson..

[57stratdawg]

Decided not to resume the game after a lightening delay. So, basically like nothing ever happened.

Really think UF is pretty overrated.

Stetson RPI is currently 256, BTW.

I wish the same thing happened to us tonight. Poor scheduling at best.

 

[CuzDawg]

Definitely looks that way yet Baseball America has them in their Eight for Omaha after this past weekend. They've really not shown much to warrant that. Your numbers regarding SEC hitting stats are staggering.

 

[patdog]

Poor scheduling? How? Some of you guys would like our team to rest every day and only play on weekends. 5 games a week isn't too much. Kids the same age as ours are playing 28 games a month in the minors right now. The only pitcher who won't be available this weekend will be tonight's starter, and that's only if we don't pull the change pitchers every inning or two stunt.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Pretty ****** but typical OSullivan garbage.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Dumb. Any other year it wouldn't matter. You do realize we play at least 5 games a week in the OOC right? It sucks for us at this moment but that's life.

Talk about having no ability to see big picture.

 

[patdog]

You do realize we play at least 5 games a week in the OOC right?

Not to mention we may need to play 5 games in 75 hours in a regional. If not for the academic aspect of it and the NCAA limit on games played, we should be playing 2 midweek games every week.

Meh, I'd rather do things to prepare for the post season than worry excessively about our seeding. If you slip up in the first game of a regional, don't you have to win the next four to advance? I'd rather my fifth starting pitcher not be starting his first game since OOC. Plus it helps get some of the younger pitchers experience in a starting role or just experience in general.

It does suck that your RPI gets hammered for a loss when you're fifth starter is pitching against another team's 1 or 2 pitcher because they care more about the big name win than their conference wins.

It is gad timing this year since worrying about post season seeding could mean worrying about getting to the post season period.

***** move from a ***** program with a ***** coach

I don't claim to know as much as you about college baseball, but why is this poor scheduling? At some point in the season we will need to win 5 games in 6 days to have a chance to get to Omaha. I don't mind having to play 2 midweek games a few times during the season to prepare for this.

It sucks for us right now because of our pitching situation, but at some point you have to sack up and play. Last night we did not.

One positive about this year is the fact that our young pitchers are getting tons of experience that they would not have received if our pitching depth was normal. Our staff will be good next year.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. But I remember the 1990(?) SEC tournament when we got a co-championship even though we were losing to LSU about that badly when the rains came. Different circumstances to be sure since both were hosting regionals as #1 seeds.

 

[The Peeper]

Sorry but that wasn't their "1 or 2 pitcher". His record is 2-4 this year, and only pitched 6 innings last year and had a 6.0 era. They leave here and play a 3 game series against USM this weekend so we won't see a 1 or 2 tonight either

 

[patdog]

Yeah. We almost never see anyone's top 3 pitchers in midweek. Still, it was one freaking game. People are overreacting. We're not as good as we looked in the winning streak and we're not as bad as we looked just before it started. Overall, I think Cannizaro is getting all you can get out of this team and he's looking pretty good to get them in a regional, which would be a very good year.

8 pitching injuries and defections ago, this schedule was no problem. Contract for this series was likely signed well before any of that happened.

 

[57stratdawg]

Their guy last night pitched very well though. His stuff had alot of run and he was nailing his spots. He'll probably come out next week and get ripped, but he was on his game last night.

My bad. I was taking another poster at their word that this was their number one and that they had flipped their pitching despite having a conference series this weekend.

If our midweek competition basically never flips their pitching to get a big name win, then I really, really don't have a problem with 2 midweek games. We should have a huge advantage putting our 4th and 5th starter against the 4th and 5th starter of smaller schools. Obviously our injuries change that this year, but you can't schedule with the expectation that you're pitching staff is going to be destroyed by injuries.

It's poor scheduling because of where it falls in SEC play. Very few SEC teams play five games a week during SEC play. It happens- but it's not the norm. I'm fine playing five game a week- but I just us to do that mostly the first four weeks of the season. You can't really compare us to the minors because a lot of times those pitchers are on very strict pitch counts or they are in rookie leagues where the season is much shorter than the four higher levels of MiLB. The reason for pitching most college starting pitchers once a week is because of how the schedule falls in college normally- Tues, Fri, Sat, and Sun. It's hard to pitch a starting pitcher twice in that timeframe safely or without limiting the pitch count a good bit in the second start.

 

[thekimmer]

Yes he is a weasly piece of you-know-what...

SULLY is chicken ****. nothing new.

And his teams tend to take on his characteristics. UF should be made to forfeit that game.
