The Past Decade: Revealed

[cane since birth]

I get the so called "randomness" of the sport but come on after awhile if it aint working anymore you need to make change

 

[Brian Piccolo]

UM V. Missouri State - Miami wins 7-5 with Missouri State's lead off hitter for the inning getting on 6 times, Missouri State's multiple errors handing us 2 runs. We won that game because Missouri State let us win.

Stopped reading after this.

Your issues are pathological.

It's all about winning unless we win then you come up with another reason why the performance wasn't good enough.

Jagr does the same thing. He rails about our results in the regular season but when we have 50-win seasons it doesn't matter. Only the postseason matters! Then when we win in the postseason it doesn't matter. Only Omaha matters!

It's the ultimate bait and switch.

These guys are just perpetual whiners. They live for this stuff.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Omaha results are the whole population I'm concerned about. It's not a sample of the whole you've claimed all of this time because CWS competition is for the national title. In that population of 5 games, we are 1-4. That sucks, and it deserves analysis not just limited to statistics.

You're suggesting that we change something (you have't told us what) that has worked all season (both regular and post) because in two games in two seasons we struggled.

It's nonsense.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

I've honestly never heard of a program in any sport at any level that has a permanent attitude that regular seasons are great and winning the whole thing would be fun but isn't really part of the expectations.

That's because you're just making stuff up.

The goal of the program is to win national championships but to enter any season and expect to win the national championship is delusional.

This is just observable fact.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

There isn't anyone inside the programs at LSU, Fullerton, South Carolina, UCLA, etc., who has the attitude that championships aren't attainable by hard work and that Omaha is just a random crap shoot.

More lying.

That's all you do.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Unfortunately you don't get that it's part of a bigger picture.

I love how the ultimate 'big picture' guy gets nitpicky about individual regional losses that didn't effect the outcome.

In order to make Jim Morris out to be a postseason failure you had to dig deep and cobble together some really silly numbers.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Look under our scoreboard and tell me which years are listed, and why.

Just like nobody is going to put the number of higher seeds we beat on the scoreboard either.

Yet you dumpster dove to find that irrelevant information.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

no one here criticized do=list&action=hash&hash=3]#3[/URL] for the job he did during the probation years. Its like they don't get it. If you wanted to be petty, you would mention those years specifically.

You actually just quoted a post that was criticizing the probation years (circa 2003-06) for not winning in Omaha enough.

I know, I know. We only went 3 times in that span. What a disgrace.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Why? Because it would be unreasonable to EXPECT a team on probation down ships to win a title.

This is comical and ironic.

Once again you quoted a post that was specifically criticizing probation teams (2003-04) and their performance in Omaha.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

It's not 2 games. It's about 10 games at Omaha since '01 and I'm pretty sure we played bad baseball in 2 of the wins.

It is 2 games.

2 out of 64.

And yet you dismiss the overwhelming majority (62) and base your judgments on just the last 2.

Somehow we're soft (even though we're not) and we failed against the best teams (even though we didn't).

@cane since birth, @BWCD, @Jaromir Jagr, @imurcane, @KeyWestConchs,

Since they love talking about 50 win seasons, winning conference championships, national seeds, and getting to Omaha is "winning". Here's our performances at Omaha since '01 because I put up a "small" sample size.

College World Series history: Past champions and game recaps - Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald

2003:

UM v. Texas - Texas wins 13-2 with 5 UM errors, 6 walks by the pitchers, and 12 K's by our players. That's bad baseball

UM V. Missouri State - Miami wins 7-5 with Missouri State's lead off hitter for the inning getting on 6 times, Missouri State's multiple errors handing us 2 runs. We won that game because Missouri State let us win.

UM v. Texas - Texas wins 5-1 with 8 walks by our pitchers, 1 walk by our batters, and 7 runners left on base. That's bad baseball.


2004:

College World Series history: Past champions and game recaps - Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald

UM v. LSU - UM wins 9-5 with 2 errors, 4 walks and 9 K's by UM players. That's bad baseball but we still won because LSU's bats went quiet 3rd inning on.

UM v. Cal State Fullerton - Fullerton wins 6-3 with UM commiting 4 errors and leaving 8 on base. That's bad baseball and it could've been worse because Fullerton left 11 runners on base with only two walks by us btw

This one is a gem. UM v. South Carolina - South Carolina wins 15-11 with 11 K's by UM players, 9 walks by our pitchers, 9 runners left on base, 2 errors, and only 1 walk by our players. That's bad baseball.

2006:

College World Series history: Past champions and game recaps - Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald

UM v. Oregon State - UM wins 11-1 and even though we left 8 runners on base, it was a **** good ball game

Another gem. UM v Rice - Rice wins 3-2 with 10 K's by UM players, 11 runners left on base, only 2 walks by UM players, and 2 errors. Bad baseball

UM v. Oregon State - Oregon State wins 8-1 with only one total walk by us but we just got outplayed

2008:

College World Series history: Past champions and game recaps - Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald

UM v. UGA - UGA wins 7-4 with 10 strikeouts and 7 runners left on base. That's bad baseball

UM v. FSU - UM wins 7-5 but with 9 runners left on base and 2 errors. That's bad baseball and FSU left 17 runners on base ( a fuggin record) and K'd 9 times so our bad baseball wasn't as bad a theirs.

3rd gem. UM v. Stanford - Stanford wins with10 k's by UM players, 12 runners left on base, and 2 errors. That's bad baseball

2015:

UM v UF - UF wins 15-3 with 11 runners left on and 3 errors. El juego de pelota fue horrible....that's spanish for bad baseball because I know you sapingos aren't bilingual like I am.

UM v Arkansas - UM wins 4-3 and benefit from Arkansas playing bad baseball with their four errors causing our 2 errors to go unnoticed but we played ok.

UM v. UF - UF win 10-2 and other than the 12 K's, we got outplayed

2016:

UM v. Arizona - Arizona wins 5-1 with 14 K's by UM players and only 3 walks. That's bad baseball, they didn't even adjust to the strike zone at all, they stood there with the same approach all night long.

UM v. UC Santa Babara - UC Santa Barbara wins 5-3 because we got outplayed


So it looks like "randomness" is their word for playing bad baseball or getting outplayed at Omaha.

Exactly, not just 1 season, but 16. Its funny, no one here has criticized #3 for the job he did during the probation years. Its like they don't get it. If you wanted to be petty, you would mention those years specifically. But you don't. JJ doesn't. No one does. Why? Because it would be unreasonable to EXPECT a team on probation down ships to win a title. The other years, expectations ON!

I mean this demands further mocking.

You clowns consistently talk about Omaha failures, 16 years, etc.

And then turn around and claim that you're not being unreasonable about probation teams because it would be unfair.

Of course those teams are in the last 16 years (and were among our post 2001 Omaha teams) that were being specifically criticized by zbrod.

It's amazing how consistently dumb these bozos are.

maybe you should read the article where the Missouri State players literally say they gave us two runs

"It's tough to come to the College World Series and give people runs," SMS shortstop Shaun Marcum said. "We gave Rice a run or two Saturday. We gave Miami two runs today that I can think of, and maybe more."

You can deny the absolute facts all you want, call us dumb, delusional, misinformed, stupid, or whatever other petty insult you have said in past because you can't refute anything we say. The most consistent thing about Miami baseball since '01 is that we play our worst baseball of the year once we reach Omaha.

Ignorance is bliss ain't it bud

So now you're going to pull quotes out of the newspaper from the opposing team telling us how they gave the game away?

And you take it as gospel?

Talk about pathetic.

Just stop.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

This is just revisionist garbage.

Just like taking the word of a Southwest Missouri State player about how they gave us runs.

It's " revisionist garbage " because it proves everything that you've said was a big fresh load of *****. When someone brings you the actual stats that we played bad baseball in at least one game in our six trips since '01, you throw them aside because it doesn't coincide with the agenda you like to push and only deem your " facts " meaningful. Webster's should remove the definition of hypocrite and just leave a picture of you because you're the biggest one of them all.

Maintaining 45-50 win seasons are great

Conference Championships record is great since '01

Grabbing national seeds are great

You know what's not great?? playing a maximum of 3 games at Omaha because we played bad baseball the entire weekend

 

[BWCD]

You're suggesting that we change something (you have't told us what) that has worked all season (both regular and post) because in two games in two seasons we struggled.

4 games total for those playing at home...and in Omaha for context.

Now - I'm not 100% sure what needs to be changed...I have some ideas, but nothing ironclad that is a lock to make us win in Omaha. That's on Morris to figure out, he's the manager - and that's where the criticism/examination begins. It's pretty clear when you win a bunch of games over the regular season/regionals/supers, and then you get to Omaha and **** the bed...that you need to examine why that happened. That's all I'm here for, and I'm willing to discuss all possibilities except for this randomness/bad luck BS you've been peddling, because that's just a copout to deflect any criticism/examination of the job Morris has been doing once we reach Omaha.

It's nonsense.

Yes, it's nonsense that we play so well during a major part of the season, then **** the bed in Omaha. I agree with that.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Jagr does the same thing. He rails about our results in the regular season but when we have 50-win seasons it doesn't matter. Only the postseason matters! Then when we win in the postseason it doesn't matter. Only Omaha matters!

We don't win in the post-season. We occasionally advance when the seeding falls our way. We haven't "won" in the post-season in a long time.

I love it. Now it's on us to figure out why we can't win in Omaha (if we even get to Omaha).

 

[KeyWestConchs]

It was funny watching Coastal Carolina celebrate. Don't they know we had a higher regular season RPI? Chumps.

 

[canesproponent]

The bell-hop-gnome deserves credit. As Jagr predicted back in February, Coastal Carolina just defeated Arizona for the crown of Omaha.

Omaha is not the least predictable tournament in sports. We will add this accomplishment to the troll's litany of accomplishments (i.e. giving proper directions in the keys, great luggage porting ability, identifying best key lime pie in the isles, etc...)

Coastal Carolina wins the College World Series, therefore Jim Morris has done a fine job of navigating the post-season for the last decade.

Logic is gooder than unlogic.
