    4/19/24 Game 38: Louisville 16-21 L

    Actually, I don't recall mentioning before, but I wouldn't like it because it would be another easy, lazy hire that gives the decision makers air cover if he fails, i.e. "but he won a WS, you can't blame the choice". And would he have the drive and energy it takes to recruit? That said, if he...

    Would be an immediate and massive upgrade. And please, no Alex Cora when the time comes.

    4/17/24 Game 37: Bethune Cookman 16-20 L

    That's just ESPN rubbing it in, as they know the outcome and score at the time. At least Ben will have something to show his grandkids, who might not have ever existed w/o his reflexes.

    What’s next for Canes program after FSU Sweep? Javi Salas talks offseason shopping list

    I think you know the answer. May not be 4 years, but next to impossible he's fired after 1 year.

    4/17/24 Game 37: Bethune Cookman 16-20 L

    We're blaming the wrong people - what Asst isn't going to accept a HC job and more money?!?! Unless and until the people making the bad hiring decisions are gone or held accountable, NOTHING meaningful will change (think Herbstreet rant on the FB program). And please, no more "who's our next...

    4/13/24 Game 36: FSU 16-19 L

    The only thing coming from the AD'S office will be a vote of confidence, or crickets. More likely the latter, since Rad will probably distance himself as far as he can from the hiring decision. And, that's another HUGE part of the problem. Let the finger-pointing begin.

    Javi Salas reflects on a disappointing weekend for Canes Baseball and looks forward to FSU

    Probably need to win 3/4 (especially VT) of the remaining ACC road series and then have a good ACC tourney, for any hope of getting a bid. But, @scane or someone who knows RPI calcs would have to weigh in on whether that would be enough RPI-wise. It should be enough to get us into the top 7 or...

    4/9/24 Game 33: FAU 16-16 W

    And they used the middle of and RF well, like they're supposed to when that's what the pitcher gives you.

    Blake Cyr broke thumb?

    These are the potential serious unintended consequences of not doing the right thing as a program when you had the opportunity. He stayed true to his commitment, so, it's time for the boosters who wanted J.D. to pony up and go get some studs in the portal. And pay Blake and Cuvet enough NIL to...

    4/7/24 Game 32: Duke 15-16 L

    I had high hopes after the first few weeks of the season, but the progress has seemed to fall apart since we started conference play. Probably too early to tell, but where's the fire from these coaches? These guys look comatose half the time - get yourself thrown out of a game, have your...

    4/7/24 Game 32: Duke 15-16 L

    I rest my case, just like when Shalala thought she knew how to hire HC's. Stick to what you know.

    Define "booster". I suspect there are a lot of silent boosters who get paid little attention, yet know far more than the big money boosters seeking attention. Run a competent athletic department, and you don't need a lot of interference from the outside. Sadly, we haven't had one in two decades.

    Blake Cyr broke thumb?

    That's what they said - left thumb from the slide on the attempted steal in the top of the 9th.

    4/6/24 Game 31: Duke 15-15 L

    I feel bad for these kids, but did anyone realistically expect us to beat the team/HC who wanted to be in our dugout, at their place in NC?

    Oh, Ok. Couldn't watch or post yesterday.

    He'll be fine - let's just hope we do enough this season to keep him.

    Not the best of efforts from Costello.

    4/6/24 Game 31: Duke 15-15 L

    Bringing their closer in the 7th - let's hope that backfires.

    4/6/24 Game 31: Duke 15-15 L

    This team - lol. At least they've got grit. I'll have to sign out so they don't rip my heart out again by teasing me w a would-be comeback. :)
