Peter/Piccolo Question. You mentioned being a "college baseball power". How much does that help? Do you think that there is institutional knowledge gained from being an established power for so many years? UM's strengths are its history, its location in the best high school area for...

In 2012, UM lost to Missouri State and Stony Brook. I already discussed Stony Brook, which was clearly a better team than UM. Missouri State's best player was Nick Petree, who was named a semifinalists for the 2012 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award. He was also named the The Louisville Slugger...

(1.) 1-out; (2.) a 4-run lead; and (3.) a fellow on first base should be the ball game..... Every single time. Hopefully, the pitching improves... Fielding cost us a run, maybe 2. Fine, even if it cost us 3, we win the game... At least this fielding debate is within the realm of...

In 2007, Vanderbilt was a #1 seed overall. In 2012, UM was seeded #16. How does that even compare? That is idiocy on an epic scale. Also, during 2012, Miami lost to Stony Brook, who beat the overall #7 seed LSU and then advanced to Omaha. Miami lost to a team who beat the #7 seed at home in...

That is not true. I watched those games. NC State did not score 4 runs in the bottom of the ninth due to errors. The errors compounded the problem of the pitching, but pitching was the primary culprit.

Definitely not. In college baseball, pitching and batting are paramount.... then fielding. A 96% fielding percentage versus one of 98% does not increase the odds of winning a championship in a statistically significant manner......... That is the acme of foolishness. This is not even minor...

It is very strange. We seem "snake bit". McMahon was very good last year and McKendry was excellent. Veliz was great in 2017, but did struggle some last year. I thought that the 2017 team would be quite good. It was a senior laden team returning 6 players who had batted close to or over...

Hopefully, we sweep FSU and the trolls disappear. Their #2 pitcher has a 4.54 ERA and VTech drilled him. NCState pummeled him as well and scored in the 2nd game. The third pitcher has an even worse ERA of 5.94 and Boston College is still shelling him as we speak. Their starter has a good ERA...

Am sorry, but who cares? Perez threw away two games in successive years against the Gators, but fielding has yet to adversely impact us. Why do we need to get to 98% from 96%. Who cares? UM has the youngest team in the NCAA. Of course there will be more errors. I would trade the best...

It is really amusing to read this thread and not see who they are arguing with. Am assuming it is the gnome. Reaching Omaha is the "Final Four" of college baseball. How is it not? Not sure how even the gnome would say that it is not. I understand the underlying probabilities of Omaha, so am...

Who cares? It is not costing us games. I personally could care less about 200 basis points. Meaningless. We are looking at a 10-game swing this season. Hopefully, we perform comparably in the second half of the year. If this team is such an abomination, then stop watching. Am not sitting...

You are quibbling over 0.00015.......... We are at 0.961% versus 0.971% in 2015 and 0.983% clip in 2016. This is like the old man on the Simpsons who rages at the clouds..........

We are fielding at a 0.961% clip versus 0.971% in 2015 and 0.983% clip in 2016. We had nationally seeded teams both of those years.... You are quibbling about 0.015%, which is = to .00015................
