is todays game being streamed online?

I agree it's going to get tougher. A lot tougher. And we probably won't win it all. But I'm going to enjoy this season as we are one win away from Omaha.
 
I went to the game today and was surprised to see that we were playing VCU not Oregon St. Antwan said that Oregon St was winning their regional. I guess not.

You just wait... when they start playing teams worthy as opposed to the teams that are winning their way into these games Miami's in trouble...allegedly.
 
We are 18-2 in our last 20. Were we supposed to go 20-0???? And score ten runs in each of those games?? I personally don't see how we could be playing much more dominantly right now. You have odd nights in baseball when your bats go silent, but that's been a relatively rare occurrence for us the last half of the season. Frankly, I find it hard to complain about that. I do agree I hope we don't go cold all at once. That's why I prefer dominant pitching over dominant hitting. Big time hitting teams are fun, but IMHO dominant pitching squads (with solid defense behind them) are more consistent.

18-2 is nice. But who exactly have we played? Georgia Tech? New York Tech? FIU? Proud of the team and we can only play who were scheduled to play. But it's been basically all below average teams in that stretch. If and when they get to the CWS, they won't be able to have these off nights where the bat goes silent. Or else we will be seeing an influx of smokey posts saying 2 and bbq.

Teams that get to Regionals and Super Regionals or into the ACC Tournament aren't below average teams. We haven't played the vanguard of college baseball, but these are still good teams. And even outright bad teams can have pitchers that can shut you down. It's not like we've had a lot of off nights. Only 3 times in the last 23 games have we been held under 4 runs. This year is a success if we make if to Omaha. I don't recall anybody before the season started saying we had the talent that we should expect to win the NC.

All of this because I made the factual statement that an offspeed pitcher was shutting us down and we weren't making any adjustments. Some of you people need to MTFU.

Good comedy that people are more interested in arguing with you than discussing.

To summarize: no one is unhappy, but there is a concern that the team does not adjust when the opposing pitcher is on a roll and that as the pitching and teams get better as we advance, that makes winning more difficult. Some already find the season a success. Others will not define success until all games are played.

You play to win the game.

Only five of the last twenty have been regional/super regional games. In that stretch, we've played a few good teams but none that will be contending in Omaha.

AngryIbis said it above best. We all are just defining success differently.

I'm not arguing with anybody. I'm discussing this every bit as much as any of you. In fact I'm being even more civil and not referring to your posts as comedy or saying any of you need to MTFU. If you'd like an example of a player adjusting just look to DT's at bat that tied the Virginia game. He wasn't swinging for the fences there. We have as a team won with the 3 run homer, not small ball. I can appreciate the argument that you guys want to make adjustments against a soft tosser that seems to have our number, and just try to slap the ball around, but the other side of that coin works as well, and sometimes it's best to ride the horse that got you here. For instance, I'm comfortable with DT jetting back, but I think with Collins, Heywood, and Kennedy they might not quite have the plate discipline for that to be effective.

11 of our last 20 games were against teams that made Regionals. I agree though that they aren't the vanguard of college baseball.
 
I'll wait till it's over to be upset. Right now I'm going to ride the wave and if a tube forms I'm heading in. I'd rather be smashed in the tube than miss the wave entirely. Go Canes, it's game time.... get it done today!

Game broke open when I remembered to put my correct U shirt on (just a U and a MIAMI on it and no mention of football). Question now is should I wash it. Ithink not ... will also guarantee privacy while watching the Omaha GAMES.
