2/21/24 Game 5: UCF 3-1 L

[scane]

I have no idea what this guy’s strike zone is

 

[Number1CanesFan]

That’s always the big test.

Don’t love the way we dropped our early plate approach as soon as we reached their bullpen.

Yes, a lot of young players trying to figure it out.

 

[scane]

Vargas looks really sharp

 

[Number1CanesFan]

What's going on with Cyr? Why is he not in the lineup?

 

[scane]

Crowd wasn’t great to begin with, but has really thinned out with tip off approaching. It’s tempting.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Way to get us out of that drought Torres

 

[DieHardCane27]

What's going on with Cyr? Why is he not in the lineup?

He's dealing with a family issue apparently

 

[BP Joe]

Surprised we haven't been playing more small ball tonight w this wind. Make this team make plays.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Louisville lost its 3rd straight game. They got smoked by Xavier 9-1. It's early in the season, but that team has fallen against competition much weaker than the ACC.

 

[scane]

No question for me who should start against FGCU

 

[canesfan54]

Urso got a nice arm

 

[BP Joe]

No question for me who should start against FGCU

Agree - he looks sharp and nice movement on his FB.

 

[BP Joe]

Urso got a nice arm

Jimenez is at SS.

 

[scane]

Jimenez is at SS.

And he does have very nice arm.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

just terrible since we plated that 3rd run

 

[BP Joe]

Long should have been moving early in the count. Kid's throwing 95 but is slow to plate.

 

[plantcity3]

terrible

 

[ewcanes]

Well that was pretty terrible.

I know CIS baseball had this debate last year of Long vs Villegas. It's obvious the coaches feel Villegas has beat him out.

However, I just don't see Villegas as a more productive option especially in the leadoff spot. Long brings a running game with less strikeouts and better speed in CF getting to balls other guys can't.

Just my opinion. Any thoughts?

Don’t have to convince me. I agree.
