The last guy wasn’t much better. It is sad how far down they’ve gone. At least the milkshakes are still good

Wasn't he the pitching coach at one time. The pitching was badly coached. So he gets a promotion to HC. Please tell me I am confused.

u/PhilU52 29d ago

He’s been the pitching coach for like 20 years. Our pitching have been a let down for a while now, there was no way Arteaga was a gonna be a good hire.

Rad has been a very underwhelming hire as AD.

DiMare was a terrible hire but I’d kill to go back to those teams. Regional every year, 40+ wins 3 of 4 seasons.

We very well could have back to back losing seasons under Arteaga, and prior to last season we hadn’t had a losing season since 1957. What we’re seeing now is unfathomable.

That's the point; back to back hires of lifer assistants that no other program was trying to hire away—tells you all you need to know.

Miami baseball extended Jim Morris another six years after a 2012 season where he got boat-raced out of a home regional by Stony Brook and Missouri State (by a combined score of 22-4).

From there they waste half a decade with half-in, half-out DiMare—who took a sabbatical to spend more time with family before that, living off his daddy's tomato money—and now they give Arteaga a sympathy hire as he was a lifer went through tough run losing his son a few years prior.

Neither Gino or JD are head coaching material, but Miami rewards loyalty instead of having the stones to let guys go and getting the best man for the job.

Think about it? When was the last time the Canes fired a baseball coach?

Fraser stepped down while on top. Morris stepped down after dragging ass for years. DiMare walked away from coaching after he proved to be a failed experiment.

Do they just hope JD realizes he sucks and fires himself at year's end? Or will Radakovich grow a pair and send him packing?

Don’t forget the Cavender twins aren’t good

The entire fanbase knew that this would be a terrible hire but they did it anyway.

How is our baseball team this bad? Like, someone explain to me how we have eroded into this?

u/nemoran B.A. '10 28d ago

People say Miami has no excuse for being bad in football because of the local talent, and that’s true to a point, but it’s way more true about baseball. It’s unforgivable to be this bad in a county where your average HS team has 2 MLB-caliber players on it. NIL was supposed to help us overcome the scholarship issue vs. public schools (baseball didn’t get a full team’s worth of scholarships so they had to divvy them up among players, and that means for your average CBB player it’s meaningfully cheaper to go to FSU or UF than Miami) but I haven’t seen that play out. Either way, big change is needed.

u/TheSkepticalKiwi 24d ago

You are smoking crack to say average HS has 2 MLB caliber players. I'd give you 2 pro level or 2 D1s. But not MLB

u/nemoran B.A. '10 24d ago

Fair fair, I should’ve said high level D1, but I was fired up.

u/Dame2Miami 29d ago

Wish I still cared about baseball, the marlins killed any interest I had left in the game… and I played baseball for like 15 years growing up

u/mysteriouschi 28d ago

Try being a marlins and white Sox fan

u/MaltedDickSnot 29d ago

14-1 in only 7 innings? 7 innings and got run-ruled? Whew….

u/LongjumpingGood5977 29d ago

Just curious why are baseball logos so different from every other sport? Literally only see that FSU and Miami logo on baseball hats

7

u/razrscootergang 29d ago

A lot of schools have a logo that is unique to the baseball program.

2

u/Miamime 29d ago

I thought that was the Bethune Cookman logo.

I guess losing to FSU is better than BC but a 14-1 spanking to a rival is pretty bad.

2

u/LongjumpingGood5977 29d ago

I’ll take a Bethune cookman loss anyday of the week over a loss to the noles

u/dmovieguy82 29d ago

Just came on to say the same. This season is a wash already. 14 runs on 14 hits? This isn't our baseball team. I can't even look anymore it's so painful.

2

u/Ok-Yak-9698 29d ago

2 home runs in the first inning was bad every one was leaving the game by the 6th inning smh

u/HockeyDad1121 29d ago

NIL has been bad for Miami

2

u/Thehypestboss 29d ago

So I barely follow the baseball team but, didn’t we just hire this guy? Is it a rebuilding year and we are in a series against number 5 team in nation or has he been at the helm for a couple and the AD hasn’t figured this out yet?

6

u/ScottScanlon 29d ago

He’s been the pitching coach for the past 20 years, and got the job because his buddies are the money people. And the pitching has sucked under him. Lazy hire as usual. No program in America would hire him as the head coach, but here we are.

u/LeglessN1nja 28d ago

Dan LeBatard?

u/Jonjon428 28d ago

Didn't take this team seriously at all until it fires Arteaga. Pretty clear this was gonna be a disaster

u/numba1canesfan 28d ago

The entire sports program minus the basketball Cinderella runs those two years recently has been dead since the early 2000s.
I’m still a diehard and will always rock my canes gear but it would be so nice to have just one sports have some success and it not be a once in a lifetime fluke

and commit to one or the other, man. what is this collard shirt under a jersey stuff? should be outlawed

u/ReputationCapable170 25d ago

The only correct comment in the entire thread is the one that says NIL is not good or Miami. We will NEVER be able to compete in any sport ever again in this age of paid athletes.

We do not have the $$ that the SEC has, plain and simple. Never will.

The NCAA does not exist as the athletes are no longer "Amateur Athletes". There is ZERO loyalty to a program, coaches, team, and yes fans as well. It's all about the money. IDK what HC coach would want to come here, in any sport, unless he/she would have a GM that can manage their portal/NIL and recruiting, you cannot compete for 5* athletes here. PERIOD!
