The Canes are now 10-9 a month and a half out the gate, in a year where they were a preseason #2 and were coming off a heroic postseason run which got them to Omaha in 2006.
Miami opened the season 0-2 at the hands of Mercer. Sunday’s game was cancelled due to weather, which is probably a blessing as the only thing worse than 0-2 is 0-3 and Mercer fans showing up at The Light with their broomsticks for the sweep.
The Canes bounced back and swept UCLA at home, but then dropped 2 of 3 the following weekend in Gainesville. Nothing like giving those Gators more bragging rights than they already needed.
Outside of UCLA, Miami has looked atrocious against any decent opponent. Six of the ten wins game against the likes of Elon, Fordham and La Salle. (Miami actually dropped the opener to Elon.)
This bunch best get it’s collective head out of it’s collective can or things are going to get really ugly. Maine and Rutgers are on tap this week, but after that it’s all about the ACC. Over the next few months Miami will face Maryland, Virginia, Clemson, Georgia Tech, NC State, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Wake Forest and Duke, with some non conference games sprinkled in there.
Someone needs to step up and start making some plays. This bunch is too talented to continue underachieving they way they are. Until Miami Baseball starts playing like Hurricanes of old, I won’t be covering them anymore in the blog. It’s not worth my time to write about a bunch that went from #2 to #23 in a matter of weeks.
Get it together, fellas. A lot of ball left to be played, but the turnaround has to start today.
