College World Series Predictions: Texas A&M vs. Florida
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- Chris Lee and Alfred Ezman talk about the Florida-Texas A&M matchup in the College World Series. Highlights include: Texas A&M’s Kaeden Kent got an opportunity to shine with Braden Montgomery’s injury and did so, getting perhaps the two biggest hits of the Aggies' season in the super regional vs. Oregon. That illustrates a lot about a deep lineup that includes Jace LaViolette, Ted Burton, Gavin Grahovac, Jackson Appel and others. The Aggies survived last week with a bad start by Ryan Prager, and now suffered a season-ending injury to Shane Sdao. But Chris Cortez and Evan Aschenbeck headline what remains a deep Aggie pitching staff. Meanwhile, Florida has ridden Brandon Neely and Jac Caglianone on the mound to get this far. The numbers weren’t always pretty with Gator pitching, but the run through Stillwater and Clemson remind us that the Gators still have plenty of young talent on the mound. Florida has one of the top home-run hitting teams as Brody Donay, Luke Heyman, Colby Shelton and others have stepped up to supplement Caglianone’s power. All this, plus a prediction.

From D1 Stats:
Texas A&M is 4th in scoring at 8.8 RPG; 6th in ERA at 3.94 ; Evan Aschenbeck leads all D1 baseball in ERA 1.66; Cortez is unhittable right now.
Florida 126th in scoring at 7.0 RPG; 158th in ERA at 6.16;
Probably not the greatest measure considering we've been playing 10X better in the last 2 weeks. Should be a good one.
@@TheRayOfBlue Yes, Florida is on fire right now and not a great matchup for A&M. Schoss would need to get creative on his pitching matchups against your lineup.
Metrics measure season totals. FL is peaking at the right time.... They beat the BIG 10, BIG 12, AND ACC champions. Their lone loss in the regionals and super regionals was to one of the best pitchers in the country. There is a reason why they were rated so high early in the season.
Yeah A&M finished 15 games better than Florida over the regular season. Insane. This is not the regular season though and UF hits Prager well, so let's see if he gets revenge on them, or if Cortez has to come in early and pitch 5+
@@christophertyrrell4018 Looks like he's not even pitching anymore
If A&M takes walks, they win. Simple formula this year for them.
Prager averages 6 starts between bad games so by that logic, we’re not due to see a bad Prager for remaining of the season
Florida tagged Prager for 6 runs in 2 innings off 5 HR's back in March. Prager is not a dominating pitcher. He's kind of a Greg Maddux type pitcher, nipping at the edges, control, movement, etc. If Prager's stuff is floating in the zone, he'll get tagged. He's got to have life on his pitches in order to play. His last outing, he kept laying his pitching down the gut of the plate. The only pitchers that had success against Florida in their earlier series were Aschenbeck, Moss, Perry and Rudis. Everyone else got hammered. Maybe the best strategy would be to pitch Florida with Rudis or Moss, and have Perry or Aschenbeck for relief.
Don’t ever count the Gators out. How’d that super regional prediction work out for you?😂
I've been following the college world series for a long time, including covering it in 1993for the A&M newspaper. This may be one of the most talented and most balanced fields I've ever seen. Should be great baseball.
Don't count out Florida. They were young at the start of the season but they grew up a LOT against that terriffic and terrible schedule. No one is a freshman anymore.
Gig'em! Florida scares me because they clobbered our pitching. Florida tagged Prager for 6 runs in 2 innings off 5 HR's back in March. Prager is not a dominating pitcher. He's kind of a Greg Maddux type pitcher, nipping at the edges, control, movement, etc. If Prager's stuff is floating in the zone, he'll get tagged. He's got to have life on his pitches in order to play. His last outing, he kept laying his pitching down the gut of the plate. The only pitchers that had success against Florida in their earlier series were Aschenbeck, Moss, Perry and Rudis. Everyone else got hammered. Maybe the best strategy would be to pitch Florida with Rudis or Moss, and have Perry or Aschenbeck for relief. Save Prager for game 2.
think it’ll be a close one in a hot florida gator team and a very talented a&m lineup. all depends on both teams pitching. if cags has competitive ABs and finds the zone early i think florida comes out slightly. although i think if ryan prager puts up his usual numbers a&m has a great chance of winning.
Wouldn’t be surprised if A&M walks Cags every AB he gets
There is no reason to pitch to him unless the bases are loaded and even then you should consider it.
I love that they pitched to him in the 9th with all the pressure to win the game!
@@travisshepard2350 He still got on though
Give em hell , Aggies !
really surprised that the gators made it to the ncaa tournament
Do they not know that the game is Saturday
Gig em
Pitch to the Jac Hammer 🐊
I want to have confidence in RP, but it seemed like he was starting to lose his edge a little bit against the longhorns on the College Station regional, and then pitched worse against Oregon. I hope I am wrong but he may be going in the wrong direction...
I think Schloss goes to Cortez FAST if he struggles. Cortez absolutely destroyed Florida. And Florida destroyed Prager.
Exactly you don’t squeeze in at a number 3 seed Go Gators 🐊
Florida was not even close to the cut line on getting in.
Florida beat themselves they played like 💩 texas AM didnt do anything Florida gave them 3 runs batters looked horrible in this game swinging at everything no plate discipline texas AM pitcher living on the outside plate Gators kept away and swinging and missing instead crowding tbe plate worse i seen Florida at the plate in a long time they looked like Florida middle of the season garbage Florida played not to lose instead playing to win if they play like that against NC state It will be 0-2 and a barbecue
A&M has had top 5 ERA in baseball all season, and at one point was #1; and their pitching was nails all game. Also, their defense was spectacular and they take professional at-bats every game. How about giving A&M some credit for that win? LOL
Florida beat Texas AM 2 of 3 during the season im not saying Texas AM not good but Florida played scared beat themselves not stepping on third and Heyman letting the ball pop out his glove at home plate take them two plays away Texas AM has one run Florida beat themselves is all im saying
@@coachjody1971 What a soft ego. Regular season means nothing. You got beat by a better team. If they played scared, then they weren't better mentally. If they let a ball pop out, then they weren't better skillfully. D1 Stats: Texas A&M is 4th in scoring at 8.8 RPG; 6th in ERA at 3.94 ; Florida 126th in scoring at 7.0 RPG; 158th in ERA at 6.16; Woulda, shoulda, coulda....LOL
