This is exactly what the doctor ordered. Give you first time starting Frosh a nice cushion to pitch with

Dang! Great throw from left field. Still. I like pressing the issue and forcing a play the way that inning had trended. Great start!

We are being patient - which I appreciate.

36 pitches for Florida pitcher in first inning.

Austin did not get a great jump on Vastine’s hit - gunned down at the plate. 4 runs was a good start.

At least we won't have to watch long.
Still watching? 4-0 end of first.

Glad no one reminded Thompson he's just a freshman.

They are definitely sitting fastball. This kids curveball is good and not 1 swing but he throws it for a ball. He should use that as a strike pitch today because they won't swing at it

JD Thompson. Pitching well.

Not getting many favors from the ump, either.

Not getting low strikes - and just denied one that seemed dead middle.

Florida made 2 errors in the first. A walk, a HBP (that was another ball 4), and a run scoring wild pitch.

That was unusual. That throw from left was huge.

We are making him throw strikes. Smart.

Wow. The team deserves some credit for very patient and timely hits. Knocked him out in the 2nd inning.

Diaz just pulled a 96 mph fastball foul. Wow.

Then worked a walk.

Caglionone 59 pitches and not out of the second yet. And he is pulled. Reeeeally nice at bat by Noland.

Up to Maldo to deliver.

Reports of VU’s death due to lack of pitching depth have been greatly exaggerated.

A lot of game left.
