Game 11: Florida 2/27/26

I am too but the way you recruit is different. Football, it’s almost instantaneous when it comes to change. Baseball recruiting is for the most part 2 years out.

Like I said though, he really ****ed the transfer cycle when it came to pitching. He could’ve had Trey Beard but he was stubborn about it.

He’s completely unqualified for the position he holds. I had fun last May too, don’t get me wrong. But I said it at that time, and I’ll continue to say it. It was the worst thing that could’ve happened. I’ll never root for this program to lose, ever. But it’s going to happen in the long-run, I’ve never been more convinced of anything in my life. Just rip the band-aid off and get his guy outta our lives. It was a joke hire.

Whatever, though. It’s one game. I’m done for now talking about it. I hope he stuffs my foot so far down my throat I **** it out. But I’d bet a lot of money that doesn’t happen. Go get em tomorrow, I guess.

Philosophy. Sully looks for projectable frames while JD’s first 2 years, he’s looked for himself. The next incoming cycle has guys that has more projectable frames that as they get into a college weight room, you would naturally see velocity increases.

Alot of these guys were recruited because of “pitch ability” meaning stuff instead of projecting what he’ll be down the line. It works great if he’s Ciscar but as you see we only have one of AJ.

Recruiting classes in baseball are usually 90% percent done by the end of junior year of that class so you won’t see the the difference in the philosophy 2 years down that line. Hence why Gio Rojas, Ty Van Valkenburg, and Andrew Gette don’t look like the rest of this pitching core.

I appreciate your post, I understand everything you said. we all know JD can't recruit to save his life. My question was more inlined with NIL and portal. I feel like a MIami storied baseball program should have elite arms in this era no excuses unless its Miami wont pay they dont care about baseball.

Because JD’s philosophy has always been to find guys like him.

This team is better under JD but not much better. Cuvet would’ve been a 1st baseman at any other school and let’s not even get started about pitching. We’re not contending annually until we get better in the field and on the mound. You can’t hit your way to Omaha these days.

Apparently they tried moving him to first and he threatened to transfer

What are you talking about? Williams, Ogden, West, Cuvet and Galvin would need to be replaced and Cian Copeland is going to be the one replacing West. Oh and news flash, Dubovich already replaced Galvin. They are probably only pursuing a SS and another power bat. 2 spots.

Sosa is gone. That’s 6.

Galvin is gonna start the second he gets back. There’s a small chance Vance gets drafted if he repeats what he did last year. Half the lineup has to be replaced. Copeland and Dubovich look good but that was against the easiest part of the schedule. There’s no guarantee either of those guys get 200+ ABs. Then what happens with Alvarez when Galvin gets back? There’s no guarantee he gets 200+ either.

Not that simple.

He ****ed up with the pitching portal acquisitions but you also are trying to fix a problem with guys that if they were good, would be properly compensated already. Hence why Trey beard, who is probably the best portal pitcher since Skenes (Skenes is better), should’ve been given a blank.

You have to fix it through HS recruiting and then use the portal as a depth filler. Going there for 4-5 pitchers every year will lead to what we have now.

Didn’t mind riding Ciscar a little too long and him giving up the homerun. He was rolling and he’s a bull dog.

In hindsight, didn’t matter because you didn’t score anymore anyway, but how ***** is the first guy out of the pen in a 1 run game on Friday night is mind boggling.

As I mentioned earlier, you had to send AJ back out there bc he’s the best you got. If you send the bullpen out for the 8th and they get rocked, everybody questions you. It’s a no win situation if it goes wrong. That’s what happens when your staff sucks.

Lmfao. Galvin’s time is up. Dubovich took his job and ran all the way home with it. Same with Alvarez and anybody trying to argue different should be ignored.
 
Best thing about these threads is that if you go to the last page and just check the first post you already know how it played out, even if there’s no mention of the score.

The 3 guys you’re claiming are basically starters will be fighting for the available 25 AB’s a week when Galvin and Vance get back.
