Canes bs Pitt - Game 3 - 1pm, ACCNX

[RedSquare]

The game passed Morris by. That was evident. So I wouldn’t use him as a good example.

Yes you need athletes, and I agree that being aggressive matters. But that’s a long way off from what you are saying. You can have a decent mix and win big. But putting 9 guys in a lineup who hit singles and can cover ground bc they all run 6.5, just isn’t gonna happen at power school. If it does, it means you passed on the Yoyo’s of the world for a kid bc he runs faster and doesn’t swing as hard with 2 strikes. You can win with that philosophy at lower levels, not in D1.

the reality is, yes, you must (and Fraser did) mix his running team with guys like charles johnson and mike fiore, etc. etc.

you definitely need those players too. i just think a team built offensively around the speed game is still a way to win consistently college baseball.

We’re 3.0 games ahead of Virginia and Virginia Tech (play each other next weekend in Charlottesville) and 3.5 ahead of Notre Dame and Louisville.

Plenty of RPI points available if we win with 9 of the last 15 against Top 20 teams.

what are the chances FSU misses the postseason? (and will prayer help)?

Slim to none unless they collapse these last 5 weeks like Pitt did last year and/or there are a lot of upsets in the automatic bid tournaments, causing at-large bids to be at a premium.

Look at the top 50 teams in stolen bases per game and the top 50 teams in sacrifice bunts. Louisville runs a little bit, Texas bunts a little bit, other than that it’s hard to find a top 40 team in those lists.

As much as I hate the way the game has evolved, it is not accurate to say that teams are still winning at this level with the speed game. It’s simply just not happening anymore.

I would love to run more than we do, but we don’t have the guys to do it. And honestly most of the top teams don’t have more than 2 guys who do that, and they still consistently win big. Fact is the best teams have the best players. That’s it. Not just the fastest.

Dimsre is clueless about pitching ... WTF was he waiting for take Rosario out ??? WTF we have all those bullprn arms for ??? Take Rosario out & put Dubberly & give him some innings. You have Dubbetly,Gallo,Torres,Mcfarlene, in the bullpen ... DIMARE IS AN IMBECILE - TAKE ROSARIO OUT !!!!

 

[Barry's Pan Is Filled]

How in **** dors Dimare not take Rosario out sooner when he clearly is inept - Dimare is a meathead

 

[Barry's Pan Is Filled]

Middle finger why ?? Am I wrong ??? Huh

They only have to go 4-5 and play BC in their next ACC series so…. But if you want to pray on it, pray for BC (and for us to sweep them in a few weeks).

I mean, for one thing, pitching is something JD probably has just as much say as DiMare on.

Second, DiMare has deserved the criticism he had leading in to this year, but calling him a clueless meathead when we're ranked #3 at this late in the season is pretty pathetic on your end. He should have pulled him, but maybe just say that

Let’s figure that maybe this was Rosario’s last chance to hold onto his role so maybe he got a little extra rope.

This is what I’m thinking… and unfortunately it back fired and Rosario is done for unless we absolutely need his services in post season… which is possible for an inning

At this point that seems to be what his role should be. Go out there at max effort, let that 98mph sinker dance, get 3 outs and be done. The kid can throw, but he can't pitch.
