Game 17: UCF 3/11/26

[FreddyCane]

Cooney with one of the few good pen appearances this year.

 

[Zbrod95]

Ok so why is a kid this talented from Southwest Ranches not playing for us? Who decided we didn’t need a 94 mph fastball??

 

[Zbrod95]

Btw put that Smith kid on the shopping list for the transfer portal.

 

[ErickMarreroU]

I thought Milano was the real deal - what's going on there? Is his defense suspect?

He is the real deal. The issue is they had him practicing all fall and spring at 3B. I never saw him take reps at 2B, Jailen and DeGoti took all the 2B reps.

 

[scane]

Bilka on for the non-save situation

…can we pin this?

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Kid's behind on fastball and you throw him a 2 strike change up.

 

[BP Joe]

They needed that W, obviously. Sometimes, a road trip is a good thing for a team in a funk - allows the players to relax and bond a little as a team.

Let's hope it carries over to the weekend.

 

[scane]

Canes win 9-5

 

[ErickMarreroU]

Big win!!!!! and it's the season sweep vs those bums!!!!!!!

 

[ErickMarreroU]

First time we have swept UCF in a season series since 2015-2016. (We have only played them two times in a season, four times since 2015)

[Pentagon Cane]

***** and Bilka came through. Yes sir.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Nice win. Really nice outing from santos Olson. I believe he needs to be given a shot on Sundays. A lefty that throws strikes is better than anything else we have right now.

They moved the UCF student section over the Miami dugout. They were trying to get under the players skins doing different songs about each player on our team "sucking" while we are beating them. It got a little chippy back and forth with our fans and all I could do was laugh because their best chant at us was a Hoosier chant. This is a five win football team, that has never beaten us, with a fake national championship sign.

Good W and good showing by the Cane's fans.

Cuvet and getting thrown out running the bases (it was a great throw)

Their RF was a complete player

 

[canesfan4508]

Last nights approach to utilize the bullpen to get to Bilka which is a more traditional way to manage a game, instead of bringing in the Closer in the 7th and hoping he can hold on for 9 out seemed to fit better. I like Bilka's stuff but using him they way we used A. Cabezas is a miss IMO

@Sebastian Font do we know how close Drummond is to being ready to get some innings?

I expect him to get some form of work against Duke. Probably not high-leverage as he still needs to ramp up

Do you know why Fernandez isn’t getting any work ? 3 innings , 6 punches and 0 runs … Just wondering … TY
