Louisville

So no honeymoon season?
Is this a Brad Kelley year? Are we looking for his replacement already?

Facetious, but .... am I?

The minute they decided to promote from within, I knew nothing would really change. They’ll get to the tourney most years but Super Regionals will be this program’s ceiling with DiMare.

This is what happens when you have a lazy AD with ZERO vision for anything. He’s **** lucky Richt had Manny on staff. I’m sure he’ll promote Caputo when L retires too.

Coach DiMare deserves an immense amount of criticism for the way he handled the pitching today. You simply cannot allow Van Belle to get into any kind of trouble once they got the lead.

Federman and Veliz hadn't been used all weekend and you let Van Belle stand out there and walk that many hitters is absolutely maddening.

The wild pitch tying run, not touching 1B on a leadoff double, missing a tag on a guy trying to straight steal home. Miami has pretty much self-inflicted wounds all over this game, but to allow Van Belle to get into that much trouble is inexcusable quite honestly when you consider the weather and how likely they would be to call the game if it were 6-1 or 6-2 in the 6th.

Let's not forget the Vilar base running blunder. Would have had a runner at 2nd with no outs. Totally agree that the coaching staff has mismanaged our pitching today. IMO, they have done this all year. It's clear that their philosophy is to let the starter work his way out of bad situations. I don't agree with it. I think it's bad baseball. If the starter can't get out of a jam, then the damage is already done and the only thing a reliever can do is try to limit the damage, but can't prevent it since it's already happened before they get into the game.
 
Personally, I would make a change based on the way DiMare has exhibited a complete lack of ability to get the team to understand how to grind or win deciding games. This loss would be completely unacceptable to me as a leadership team within an athletic department.

I go back to letting Van Belle stand out there and lose the game in that situation. You cannot lose a game you led 6-0 without ever using your best pitcher. Cannot do it. That doesn't include the chances of the game ending early, the extra day off with Easter, the importance of the swing game, and the national statement it makes if you win the series at their place.

I pretty much need to log off because I feel like leaping out of my skin thinking about this game today.
