Baseball at Miami, Sun 3/3, 1:00 pm

​

 

Is it my imagination or has Jac's change-up really improved?

 

It's games like this that causes me to drink. Has for 66 years. Ok maybe when I was in high school. That would be 69 years.

 

I've been sober for 18 years.

(round of applause from the audience)

And then I turned 18.

(Ricky Gervais joke)

 

Neely didn't put the other guys on....of course he shoulders some blame, as does Slater
And Slater inherited 2 runners Fri night from Fisher, and promptly let the next 2 guys reach and a run to score. Were you saying Slater was "struggling" at that point? Gotta call facts facts

 

Actually Slater pitched poorly to load the bases and if coach called for a fastball on Neely's first pitch doesn't Sully share some of the blame? Just a thought.
I always wonder when Sully or any coach calls a throw and it could be a perfect throw but sometimes a batter could be sitting on that pitch and it makes the pitcher look bad. At any rate, we are in really good hands with both pitchers.

 

The names will get wasted on this thread, as it'll die out in a day or two. Separate thread would get good back & forth going.

 

I think so, as as his approach at the plate. Not trying to pull everything out of the park. Strikeouts are way down and he's going with the pitch more. As great as he was last year, he seems even better this year in all aspects.

 

Too much damn work!

 

Smart

 

it would’ve been a brawl

 

It was the best I’ve seen it today as long as he’s been a Gator.

 

In August

 

Cane's Take on the Weekend
Miami Edged by No. 4 Florida in Series Finale
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes baseball team fell to the fourth-ranked Florida Gators, 8-4, in front of a sellout crowd at Mark Light Field Sunday afternoon.
“After any game, after any loss, nobody feels good about themselves,” head coach J.D. Arteaga said. “There is not going to be any quit in this team. I’ve said it all along that this week would give us a better idea of where we’re at. We’re obviously not where we want to be. The Selection Show is not tomorrow. The season isn’t over. We know we’ve got to work on some things and get better to get to where we want to be.”
After the Hurricanes (6-5) knocked off the Gators (8-3) Saturday afternoon, Florida responded in emphatic fashion Sunday.
The Gators smacked five home runs, highlighted by Colby Shelton’s seventh career multi-homer performance.

Shelton clubbed a pair of two-run blasts in both the first and ninth to bookend the derby.

In the fourth, junior right fielder Ty Evans and senior shortstop Tyler Shelnut socked back-to-back round-trippers to double the lead.

Florida starter and utility player Jac Caglianone crushed a solo shot an inning later, providing himself with a 5-0 cushion.

On the bump, Caglianone (1-0) recorded a career-high 11 strikeouts across six shutout innings. The junior southpaw limited the Hurricanes to just three hits.

Despite trailing 6-0 heading into the bottom of the eighth, Miami didn’t go down quietly.

Co-captain Dorian Gonzalez Jr. delivered a pinch-hit grand slam to pull the Hurricanes within two.

Shelton’s second home run of the day gave Gators closer Brandon Neely a four-run cushion in the ninth, as the junior locked down the series for the visitors.

Miami starter Herick Hernandez (2-1) was tagged with the loss. Hernandez surrendered three earned runs over five innings, striking out nine batters.

Up next, the Hurricanes welcome Stonehill to Mark Light Field Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

“We’re working our tail off,” Arteaga said. “We’re going to continue getting better and we’re going to keep fighting, every inning, every pitch, every at-bat. It’s right around the corner. We’re going to get to where we need to be.”

 

Unfortunately I was at a funeral today and didn't see the game. So it got feisty? Am I seeing that stats correctly that Kurland earned a golden sombrero today? Ouch.

 

Miami ain't going to Omaha big guy
