Game 20: Duke 3/15/26. 20-10 L (14-6)

This could be the most embarrassing loss I've ever seen, and I thought we were going to win that game.
Actually, the loss to UCF in Orlando was the most embarrassing. But that was partially because I was up there, went to the game, and was taunted.

Is this loss our clemson moment in football when golden was around
 
Naaa. If Derais played for Sully, he’d be 95-97 consistently and a better sense of command…easy.

Dude had AJ Puk starting for him and even the marlins couldn’t figure him out as a starter.

The problem is JD.
Maybe he’ll transfer there then. Sounds like it would be the smart move

As a long time vet of this baseball program & its trend over the past decade or so, pls do me a huge favor:

Stop basing this team’s abilities/season when they bludgeon non power conference programs to start the season.

Once we face a fairly good team, that’ll tell u all u need to know. This Dook team is mediocre at best, & we just got walked off, mercy ruled by a score of 20-10. I don’t blame JD, just like I didn’t blame Manny (except his excuses & apathetic nature when we faced losses); I solely & squarely blame the administration.

In two instances alumni coaches who couldn’t cut it willingly walked away for the betterment of the program, & in both instances, two different regimes made lazy, internal hires who were, wait 4 it, apart of the problem.

Last season was a Cinderella story, getting hot in the tourney w upset victories; & yes it’s good to be lucky vs. good at times, but the two r not mutually exclusive. I’ve seen no improvements from this team yr over yr:

•We’re still the “Cardiac Canes,” winning games in dramatic fashion
•Pitching is still mediocre
•Bats r still scrappy vs. dominant sans 1 or 2 players each yr
•Poor fundamentals both in the outfield and on the mound
•Way, too, many free passes via errors or base on balls
•Too many ill-advised challenges
•Zero feel for the game
•Inconsistent w/ situational baseball opportunities

We beat up on bad teams, struggle w decent teams, & get moked by elite teams. That’s not the signs of well coached, developed team.
