The University of Miami baseball team (12-9, 0-3 ACC) dropped the series finale to the 14th-ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons (18-3, 6-0 ACC) Saturday night at David F. Couch Ballpark, 12-10.

Matt Bedford (3-2) earned the win for Wake Forest, allowing two hits and no runs over 1.2 innings in relief. Lazaro Collera (0-1) took the loss for Miami, surrendering five runs on three hits in just one-third of an inning.

The Deacons carried their momentum from Saturday’s game one extra...

Yep, and each year it seems like we try and reach new lows. Really sad that the University clearly cares a fraction as much as we do about the program.

Seems like we're low-key de-emphasizing baseball in preparation for a move to the B1G.

File under collateral damage, but sadly there's zero chance the program reaches anything close to its previous heights once that takes place

That would require Miami to have a plan other than friends and family --- no evidence to prove we are that intelligent

I don’t blame JD for this. Give the car keys to a 9 year old and let them drive. When they crash the car, you don’t blame them, you blame the person that gave them the keys. This is Rudy and Rad, letting JD’s buddies bully them. Everyone on this board knew exactly how this was going to end.

Agreed. But JD needs the fire because he's the head coach and the beneficiary of this friends and family approach. I am fine lighting up Rad and Rudy, and Joe too. **** em. They made this mess. Fix the ******* thing.

It has been said here -- if FSU can fire Meat, Miami can fire JD.

Meanwhile it is **** Us!
 
I’ve made this exact post before on here, but I will keep posting it till I get an answer that makes any sense? JD has been in charge of the unit of our team that has been the Achilles’ heel of this team for 10 years minimum. Please tell me how in the world it makes sense, to promote your team’s weakest unit coach to the manager of the whole team? Anybody?! it makes no freaking sense from the minute It happened until the results were seeing now. Anyone with a brain cell knew exactly where this was going to go. Listening to @DMoney podcast this week, I get it that it needed to be a cheap hire because the funds are going to football and rightfully so. Football is King and there is no denying that. But just because it had to be cheap, doesn’t mean it had to be lazy. This was a lazy higher near the levels of Diaz, again not that lazy but in the ballpark. JD needs to go and he needs to be done at the end of the season without a doubt. This experiment didn’t work and I hope the powers that be, make a qualified higher the next time around even if it is on the cheap level. No more lazy hires!

Disagree with the last third simply because Diaz was a competent coordinator. I’ll argue he was a well above-average coordinator. Someone was willing to give him a job, albeit Temple, but still, there was an FBS program who would have hired him. Did hire him, in fact. Who was going to hire JD Arteaga? Literally. If Miami had hired another head coach who didn’t retain JD, would he get the keys to ANY program? Would FIU have hired him? I genuinely don’t think so. An underperforming pitching coach with zero HC experience. Who hires that resume?

Oh, only a 4 time national championship winner. Yeah, makes total sense. I agree with most of what you said 100.0%, but my argument from the beginning is this was (and is shaping up to clearly be) an even LAZIER and WORSE hire than Diaz was. The only ******* job this clown would have gotten would be here. And we give it to him!!

If @DMoney stated that the head coach of baseball needed to be a cheap hire because funds needed to be allocated towards football, than Dmoney and anybody else attached to the University need to shut up about us being "serious" about athletics and stop asking everyone for money.

First off, UM baseball is a ******* blue blood program. This isn't the basketball program who has never won ****. This a 4x NC program. Only morons in charge would dismiss that.

Second, this isn't football where you need to spend $10M per year to secure a top HC. The highest paid coach is at $3M per year. Only one other head coach gets $2M+. With $1.5M - $1.75M per year we can hire an ELITE HC. If we can't afford that, or are unwilling to spend that on a 4x NC program, again STFU about us being a serious athletic program.

Lastly, if a few people who are big donors have that much control on who gets hired, well we can all see where the athletic department is heading. Arteaga is EASILY the worst hire ever made for a HC of any major sport at UM. Think about that and what it says about the morons in charge.

I didn’t say that, and I don’t believe it.

Ok, glad you didn't. As far as not believing it, than why was the hire made?

We all know Arteaga was not even remotely close to qualified. So, if not for not wanting to spend money, than it was a typical Miami bro hire or we are completely incompetent.

Are you willing to publicly say what your real opinion is or afraid of receiving backlash from the school for speaking the truth @DMoney?

I’m not the person who has those answers. All I know is that we have money for baseball.

We'll find out if we are serious about baseball after this season because this team will at best be a .500 squad and that's likely a stretch. Meaning we will miss the post season again. Which should without hesitation get JD fired. First step is to fire JD and second is to hire a HC worthy of this program.

If BOTH don't happen we don't care or are incompetent, or maybe both.

This is true.

However, the real problem is that the "we have money to pay for JD Arteaga" people and the "we have money to pay for baseball NIL" people may have some...overlap...
