Doesn’t seem likely.

Will need elite performances. The one thing to note is Georgia has a match box field. Hoping we can hit some dingers with the power we have.

Will need pitching and defense to be great.

1 is doable. 2 or 3 is a pretty major uphill battle with how good they are.

If the pitching can perform the way it did this weekend we should have a good chance with the way the top of the lineup is performing. Cade, Serena, Braun, Curiel, and Milam should have good success this weekend in their park.

If we pitch similarly to how we did this weekend, limiting the free passes especially, we have a good chance. We have had significant pitching issues in conference games, and UGAs pitching stats are very similar to ours. They're worse in a lot of categories, the notable exception is WP, where we're way above everyone else.

I don't see any reason why we cannot win the series, provided we play the way we did against SC. Their pitching allows a lot of runs.

If we can get the pitching performances we got out of Schmidt, Paz and Cowan like we did this past weekend, anything is possible

That being said, UGA's lineup is a lot different than South Carolinas

Winning a game is a success. Gives us the chance to come home somewhat in control of our own destiny for the postseason... sweep UF and you're at 14-16 in league and PROBABLY in the field.

Take 2/3 from UF and you're still in a decent position to put yourself in the field with a couple of wins in the SEC Tournament.

For one game, I think we realistically could win. Two seems unlikely, and a sweep is nearly impossible. But it's baseball, so we will have to wait and see.

That park is geared for left-handed hitters, with a 314-foot right field line, and might be a little tough for right-handed hitters unless they are good opposite field hitters; the left field line is 350 feet.

I'm a little concerned that this may prompt Jay to put Yorke in the lineup, but if he starts jacking pitches out, I'd be happy.

Brown would be salivating.

Below are our lefties. We may see Reaves or Hardin in left field rather than Yamin.

Tanner Reaves
Derek Curiel
Daniel Harden
Ethan Clauss
Mason Braun
Seth Dardar
Jack Ruckert
Zach Yorke

I want Dardar in there swinging out of his shoes every at bat.

This isn’t correct. Winning 1 this weekend and sweeping next weekend would put us at 13-17 league as we are currently 9-15.

Caraway is a righty.

Right field line is short. The rest of the dimensions are similar to other SEC fields.

Their power alley to right is also short

In the 350-355 range

Their "365" measurement is almost in CF for Right center. Why you cant trust field measurements sometimes field to field and compare directly

I've been to Foley a bunch of times, it is very easy to get balls out to right field. Loading up left handed power hitters in the lineup is not a bad strategy at all. On top of all that, every single pitcher they just used against Mizzou this past weekend was a righty. Their top 7 pitchers in innings pitched this season are all righties. Their top lefty has thrown 16.1 IP
