UL FAU Game 2

[Boomer]

_ Raise your hand if you knew we'd probably lose when we couldn't get a leadoff triple in to score in the 7th and were only up 3-2. :/

I thought things were going South when their batter went 17 pitches and got a walk------Anybody ever seen more balls thrown to a single batter????

well sadly enough we have two freshman that are having to help carry this team with Fredrick and traffica. U shouldn't HAVE to be relying on freshman to do that....that's what goulas, bowman, keefer should be doing. From what I've seen out of Fredrick, there is no stage to big for this youngster. He is smart....he puts himself in good hittes counts and takes an aggresive hack at fastballs. I'm glad this cupcake schedule is getting us alot of wins!!! We will be lucky to win 25 games

I hate that we lose this kind'a game....we gotta step up the pitching and we gotta step up the bats...defense was good...Fredrick did good at 3rd...hopefully 2morrow is a great day!

OK...I'M THE LAST UP!....WE GOTTA HAVE A BETTER DAY TOMORROW!...

_ Because they have a better chance of splitting the first 2 games with him pitching against the other teams #2.

With him pitching the opening game of the series and he loses they feel they probably cant split the first 2 games so they pitch him on Day 2 _

Thanks.

_ We ran into an arm. Anyone know why FAU (reverse) pitched their ace Gipson on Saturday? _

It's not anything that McCormick did intentionally this weekend. Gipson has been the Saturday guy all season. When Taylor Everest began flaking out on recent Friday nights, McCormack decided to go with the guy that had been pitching reasonably well in Friday relief of Everest (Ryan Garton). Garton has been the first guy out of the pen this year (each and every game) in relief of Everest. He now simply pitches a little earlier on Friday's.

Also note that FAU did not have a clear ace to begin the season ... as was the case last season.

I figured there might be a little more to the story, thanks.
