Man, I cannot imagine living in an era in which takes such as these were common and taken seriously.

In evaluating team performance, absolutely. If you don't believe that, you have 20 years of analytics research to catch up on. Canes have played very well this regional.

Your ability to build strawmen is unparalleled.

Miami outscored CMU by 14 runs over 2 games. Margin of victory is a much better measure of team quality than W-L. You're really grasping. It's standard practice for teams to hold their aces until game 2.

So you're suggesting he should've blown his ace in game 1? Even though it wasn't an elimination game? Or you're just grasping for a reason to criticize him? Today's win sealed the deal on this being a very good season. Top 20 team, easily made the tournament, top 4 in a loaded conference, on...

I think he's done fine. We are exactly where we expected to be through 2 games (1-1), and haven't used our ace, nor our closer. Our #2 and #4 starters should also be able to pitch again tomorrow. We could lose to CMU, so I like using BVB vs them. We were a good-not-great team all year long, so...

"Be **** sure that you win" - a 100% meaningless statement. Guess we should've saved him for when we were up 12-0 yesterday. And no, I doubt Arteaga agrees with your Monday morning QB hot takes.

That's only part of the story. How about games 1 and 2 vs FSU, 2 and 3 vs GT, etc.? We lost some games, as you pointed out, and we won some others. The net effect is a good-but-not great team. It's silly to look at a few losses and say those are the most meaningful outcomes. They all count.

Federeman gave up 1 run in 2 innings, on a softly hit liner, after 5 outs and 30+ pitches. Would've been nice to have gotten at least 1 more out, but he was fine, it wasn't an implosion. He pitched about as well as everyone else did.

8 hits is not enough. Pitching wasn't great, but only 3 earned runs with 12 Ks and 2 BBs is good enough. Defense didn't help our pitchers. But 5 teams gave up 6 runs and won today, including the host of this regional. Need to be able to outslug other teams in college baseball. For the second day...
