Agreed. The 2020 team reminds me of both the 2008 and 2015 teams. I think the pitching on the 2020 team will be better than that of 2015. In the end, who knows.... I thought that the 2017 senior laden team would definitively host a Regional, and it never crossed my mind that they would...

These are fair concerns. I think that having Cicconi, McMahon and Van Belle back ameliorates many of these concerns. Eskew and McFarlane should easily be able to provide 2-3 strong innings per game; considering that they should be buttressed by elite batting. We have Federman back for a...

You were definitely correct. I just placed him on Ignore. We are going to dominate next year, so these trolls should disappear by mid-season!

Did you watch any games this year? There is no other team in the country that generated more production out of their freshman class than UM this year. That is indisputable. An argument can be made that UM has the best collection of Freshman/Sophomores in the country at present........ You...

You are 100% correct. Florida now has over 55% of NYC's hedge fund managers. Scary what is happening to the tax bases of Connecticut and New Jersey. Our jobs keep us in California. If my wife was employable elsewhere, we would leave.

Wife grew up here. Great jobs but horrific taxes. NYC is the same as California. We are definitively not retiring here. Will probably retire in South Carolina or New Orleans

60% Bonuses in California and NYC are actually tagged at 50%. In California, between payroll, Medicare, Medicaid, SS, Federal, State, City and Neighborhood, we are only keeping 48% of our total salary. Social Security are Medicare are essentially taxes since no one under the age of 45 will...

They claim that he hesitates prior to making a throw, but the speed of the runners increases at each subsequent level. Opposing teams know this and run full tilt to the base, which exacerbates the problem. After talking to them, I notice it as well. There is a slight hesitation prior to each...

I had two scouts tell me during the FSU series that no program teaches the fundamentals better than Miami. They said that part of the team's regression occurred because Miami needed to devote more of their "practice time" to batting, since that was their weakness at the time. Di Mare corrected...

Di Mare said it in his final press conference. We were the only team without any seniors. If Van Belle returns, and both of the drafted freshman pitchers enroll, our pitching should be comparable to our batting. We will have a top-5 batting order at worst, unless there is marked regression...

I could see Keysor leaving..........

He spends plenty of time in **** already (i.e. Gainesville)! That is why he is so bitter! Well..... "that" and his conflictions concerning the dualities that he grapples with on a daily basis. If the troll simply acknowledged his true state and predilections, he would be happier!

There is a phrase in Spanish that says: "Spirit of contradiction...." That defines our resident troll to a "T"........ Here is my theory, I was born in NYC and root for the Yankees primarily; however, if the Yankees are not competitive, or in the playoffs, then the Mets become my de facto...

Rice, Vanderbilt and Stanford are proof that it can be done. There are hundreds of articles on "Operation Vanderbilt". UM raised $4B in two capital campaigns and despite that they barely reached $35M for the Schwartz center. The basketball arena took out a 10-year, $26M loan in order to...

One thing. Google the Turtle Thomas article of him at LSU where he discusses how Louisiana, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee's state lottery awards make recruiting 1000x easier than at Miami. We are competitive because the Americans and Cubans of South Florida have been fanatical baseball...

You are right. Am not doing the research again, but the NCAA bylaws clearly say that the 11.7 scholarship are exempt from merit, academic, ethnicity and need based awards. Obviously, we cannot give a Perfect Game All-Star with a 2.0 GPA a "full-ride" over a Valedictorian from a highly...

We will lose Veliz. He wants to play pro ball.

Di Mare said in an article in the Herald that the team was receiving less assistance from Academic (or other) Scholarships than in the past, but that going forward they would be receiving more assistance. That came from his article. Not sure how that works exactly. Awarding scholarships to...

I do not see Van Belle being drafted.
