I always thought AMac ( if he was not wild) should have always been a weekend starter this season. Not sure why he is just now getting the chance when guys like Fed/Garland/Roasrio/Mederos are out there getting lit up.
I’m assuming, based on how deeply buried he was in the bullpen to start the season, that he had a particularly bad fall. Likely as you mentioned due to lack of command.
I guess that's it, like you said we were not there but I honestly don't know what took so long to give them a chance when the other guys we were trotting out had 7 ERAS.
Interesting thing with Rosario was that pre-FSU his BAA was .179 and WHIP was a touch under 1. My personal theory is that he’s worn down as the season has gone on. I have to remind myself that the true freshman pitchers lost their senior seasons and the buildup of endurance for a young pitcher that comes with it. Probably also true for a McFarlane taking deeper into his sophomore year to develop, and why Smith/McFarlane are finishing stronger than guys that got early season burn.
Yeah, it looked to me Mederos and Rosario wore down mentally. They will get better. By all expectations a weekend rotation of AMac/Rosario/Mederos or Smith should be a devastating trio. Hopefully they are all much improved next season.
I have a sneaky suspicion, aided by the number of scouts in attendance tonight, that Smith gets drafted and leaves.
He might but he should come back, guess if he thinks Gino and JD won't start him I don't blame him
Where are you seeing this? I will legitimately stop watching college athletics if they make these young men do that.

It’s the perfect out for me. Have had a brutal 20 years watching this ****** athletic department. If they make these young man who have a **** near 100% survival rate take that vaccine I’m out. Disgusting that they are even thinking of making them be guinea pigs when they have their entire life in front of themMore than 100 US colleges and universities are now requiring students to get Covid-19 vaccinations
More than 100 US college and universities have said they will require all their students to get vaccinated against Covid-19 before they return to campus for the fall semester. Drew University, University of Massachusetts at Lowell, Washington State University and University of Portland were...
Better start looking for a new hobby.
What is going to happen is that the universities requiring vaccines will refuse to play against programs that don't require vaccinations. Thus just about everybody is going to end up requiring it.
Any excuse to quit this exercise in masochism is probably for the best.
People forget that these vaccines are NOT FDA approved. They are approved for emergency use only. Meaning only the highest risk demographics should be taking them. Here's a link to a study that suggests a dramatically higher cancer rate for the first wave of polio vaccine recipients. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10472327/
