Game 28: Clemson 3/28/26. 8-6 W (21-7)

[Rellyrell]

Sometimes it’s better to b fortunate than good. Oy vey

 

[rok]

A road ACC series win despite 9 errors and another bullpen implosion. Clean that **** up and get Robert and Menendez back in the pen for the stretch, and maybe there's hope?

Absolutely nothing will get cleaned up or fixed imo, but we can still find ways to win.

 

[BP Joe]

Although you were asking a lot of Bilka after the number of pitches he threw Thursday

Ya, at least he challenged them and there was a pretty stiff wind to RF. Throwing the split finger for strikes is his issue.

 

[IamaCane4Life]

Miami baseball needs a new coach! We cant beat FL for 5 straight years, we suck in our conference and teams like FIU and UCF are getting closer and closer. Arteaga is tome to go

The problem is we’re starting to accept its not “despite, like a 1 game thing”. Errors and bullpen are a staple problem now.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Way to get it done….. yes we still have major problems

I hear ya. If there's a silver lining, it's that most of the errors have not been in the middle of the field. It's stupid errors like errant pick-off attempts and West boxing balls around to his right, etc. If Torres returns, we're pretty strong up the middle.

Bullpen remains the big question mark.

Yep there are issues.

Well we need Cuvet to show up in big series
And we need Ogden to continue in the right direction.

If JD doesnt figure out his bullpen, we're not going to make any kind of run.

I mean how do not convince a kid to just throw strikes with an 8 run lead

 

[CANESCANES]

Let’s keep it rolling next week

FIU is getting closer and closer? Which FIU players do you think could start for us?

Really not sure why they used him again today.

 

[Plymouth99]

I am old school. Love the traditional gray unis today.

Thursday night with the classic orange top and old English M and lettering is my favorite.
I'm glad that we wear gray on the road unlike a lot of teams.

 

[Disgustipated]

having to sweat out and 8-0 7th inning lead sums this team up perfectly

 

[DieHardCane27]

Next up we get Virginia Tech at home. They are pretty awful barely over 500 overall and they are batting .255 as a team with a team E.R.A. over 7. Zero excuse to not sweep that one.

 

[Letetespinosa]

I think this was a most need it win build confidence but yes bullpen and defense are definitely a problem we need to better that ASAP.
In another note BC beating Virginia doesn’t make us look that bad after all.

Really had no business throwing Bilka after a 50 plus outing on Thursday.

It isn't the BC series so much. They are a good team. The Friday night loss was inexcusable. Duke on the other hand is not good and that Sunday loss was embarrassing.

 

[CaneTheGaytors]

There is no doubt that this bullpen is the worst conflation on relievers that we have ever seen at Miami. Terrible from top to bottom. No lead ever feels safe, and that’s a huge issue.

Be prepared for more of the same unless Ciscar can come back along with Robert and Menendez giving us a lift out of the bullpen.
If Menendez and Robert can give us two innings each during the weekend series would be huge .
Who is our closer this weekend? Blinka is not the guy. He definitely lacks an out pitch.
