Game 3 vs UVA "Brunch with the Canes" now in rain delay

[Lance Roffers]

The ump has been calling a big zone both ways.

Did I say something that would suggest otherwise? It's a big zone. Going to have to swing. Quit whining about it and adjust.

UVA is starting to hit the ball hard against Dubberly.

Nope. Was agreeing with you.

 

[scane]

Tied on a two out single because nobody covered second

 

[BP Joe]

And the bungled defense on the first hitter comes back to bite us.

UVA is starting to hit the ball hard against Dubberly.

Been the pattern in his last two outings in his fourth inning of work

 

[Lance Roffers]

How do teams beat more talented teams? By making winning plays.

Getting to 2B allowed his team to score a run in that situation. Villar making a poor slide cost his team a run.

Analytics won't show the full impact of those two plays, but they're big in opposite directions.

That throw was awful and looked like it might cost another base as well.

 

[scane]

I’d send him back out for the fifth but he needs someone warming behind him

Just sleep walking thru this game. Nobody covers 2nd.

Miami baseball has been sleepwalking for 10 years. Why stop today

 

[BP Joe]

Without ADC driving the ball lately, someone needs to step up behind him.

 

[Pitcher in the Rye]

Sounds like CDC will make a great meth cook someday.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

And just like that momentum fully shifts toward that 3rd base dugout. Hold on tight boys

 

[BP Joe]

They've got all the momentum now based on our crappy execution and energy. This will not end well I'm afraid.

You're not lying. Watch Vanderbilt play, which I bring up because they are another private school with lots of draft prospect talent.

They play the game very hard, they make smart decisions, and they execute at every part of the game. But they also play the game with an edge and are ****y and intense the whole way. No hits are relented. No extra base is conceded. If you even want one hit against them, you have to earn it.

I do not pretend to know why the difference is there for Miami, but it is certainly there in my opinion.

 

[scane]

Yoyo is going to be a really good third baseman here

 

[Lance Roffers]

Costing himself a ton of money.

 

[BP Joe]

This should probably be Dubberly's last inning - they are squaring him up.

 

[scane]

Ballgame for Dubberly. About as much as you could ask for him in his first start after pitching midweek.

Fed coming in to replace him.

 

[BP Joe]

Costing himself a ton of money.

I agree. He should be DH or RF more often. Catching almost every game is taking its toll.

 

[SanAmaro2005]

Giving runs away again.
