Florida Game 3 1pm ACCNX

[scane]

HBP and a Jenkins infield single puts a pair on for Del

 

[scane]

Another HBP and it’s loaded for Gil

 

[scane]

Takes strike three to end the inning

 

[plantcity3]

Despite only two hits, we have had our chances with runners in scoring position

 

[Miami04]

Gil is absolutely killing us.

Have to swing the bats. We have too many guys that can't hit the curve ball. They have to change their approach. The only guys doing that are Del Castillo and Toral (this year).

Elite pitchers throw curveballs for strikes. Our guys can't just sit on fastballs especially behind in the count.

Palmquist on to make his debut

Gil is absolutely killing us.

Gil drove in the go ahead run yesterday and our only run today. Plenty of other targets

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Palmquist is a beast!!! We have some really good young arms!!!

 

[scane]

Quick work from Palmquist. I really liked what I saw from him preseason.

Barco done for Florida after 5.1 innings

 

[Miami04]

Gil drove in the go ahead run yesterday and our only run today. Plenty of other targets

I get it. But Gil is batting .154 and it feels like he has struck out 10 times this weekend. Unfortunately for him every time he comes up it seems to be a big spot.

 

[scane]

6 up, 6 down for Palmquist. Wish we’d had this arm the past two nights

 

[Miami04]

This team better figure out quick had to manufacture runs vs being a long ball team.

Tuero PH for Paige

Not to become the resident Gil apologist, because you’re right his hitting hasn’t been great this season, but he has 4 Ks and 3 RBIs this weekend versus 27 Ks and 3 RBIs (and two of those were down five runs) for the rest of the team.

fair enough. I can’t argue with that.

Palmsquist with 5 Ks and 1 BB through three innings

 

[JBCanes-NC]

Tuero needs a shot to play several games in a row. I’m done with seeing Paige at the plate and his glove isn’t all that.

 

[scane]

Palmsquist with 5 Ks and 1 BB through three innings

Doubt Gino does it, but there’s some merit to Barry’s suggestion in the other thread that Federman be the fourth starter (he did it well as a freshman) and leave the late innings to Gates, Keysor, and Palmquist with Munroe, McFarlane, and Garland available in middle/long relief. We’re getting to the point with Maury where he may never get back to his pre-injury form.
