I hope not too. Would love to see us come out and have another homestand like we did against Arkansas.
Here is the tale of the tape coming into the weekend:
Florida
ERA - 4.54
Total BB's - 130
Bat AVG - .283
Total HR's - 71
Tennessee
ERA - 2.15
Total BB's - 78
Bat AVG - .316
Total HR's - 88
IMO, the keys to being able to win the series are:
- Work ahead early in counts. The Vols top 5 hitters all hit over .345 so we can't afford to fall behind or get deep in counts to where we have to give them pitches they want to hit.
- Mix it up. I've watched bits and pieces of some of the games they've lost. When teams pitch backwards and keep them off balance early in counts they tend to struggle with the off-speed.
- Have a plan at the plate (whatever that may be). Maybe it's to try and work deep into counts to get their starters out of the game. Maybe it's looking for the first pitch FB to hit. It's going to be an uphill battle for 9 innings regardless. Their weekend starters sit 95-97mph and lead the SEC in ERA, WHIP, and K-BB% in conference play.
What's the old saying? The bigger they are the harder they fall?
Go Gators!

Florida's Hunter Barco shut down indefinitely due to elbow discomfort

Florida baseball got some terrible news on Wednesday evening when a report surfaced that its ace starting pitcher Hunter Barco is dealing with elbow discomfort, forcing the team to shut him down indefinitely. The news was first broken by D1Baseball managing editor Kendall Rogers on Twitter.
The sophomore southpaw out of Jacksonville, Florida, was having a stellar season in 2022, posting a 2.50 ERA in 50 1/3 innings, giving up 34 hits and 11 walks against 69 strikeouts over nine starts. He left the April 15 game against the Vanderbilt Commodores after just two innings — easily his shortest of the year — having surrendered two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four. At the time, there was no indication of an injury.
According to Rogers, Florida’s Friday starter will continue to be evaluated by doctors as the professionals determine the next course of action. Hopefully, Barco can avoid the surgical scalpel and return in time to help the Gators push into the postseason. Or at the very least, allow him to be healthy enough to prevent his professional stock from dropping too much heading into the MLB draft.
