We are better than Florida by a good margin I think and that to me was the most telling thing. It took multiple spectacular defensive plays, us not putting out our best lineup, and our starter not even going 4 innings for them to beat us by 2 at their place. And we had the tying and go ahead run at the plate multiple times in the last 1/3 of the game.
Yep. I think us having to play a DH put us at a little bit of a disadvantage. It factored in leaving Ginn and Leibelt in too long. And it pretty much took Cole out of the series. We weathered it pretty well though.
