The University of Miami baseball team opened the Gino DiMare era with a record-setting victory over Rutgers on Friday night.
The Hurricanes (1-0) dominated Rutgers (0-1) for a 19-3 victory on opening night inside Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field.
The 19-run performance set a record for runs scored on opening day against a Division I opponent, surpassing a 17-3 win over FIU on Jan. 28, 2006.
"I feel happy about the game and I know our players have to feel good about it; they have to feel confident," DiMare said. "It's the most runs we've ever scored in an opener against a D1 team. That's a lot of openers and it's the most we've ever scored. We've played Rutgers many a times and we've struggled with them at times over the years. Certainly, you feel good about the game."
Miami's offense was impressive from the start, as shortstop Freddy Zamora crushed a 3-1 pitch from Rutgers starter Serafino Brito to the wall in left-center for an RBI double. Freshman Anthony Vilar, who worked a walk in his debut plate appearance, scored easily from first and the Canes had their first run of the 2019 season just three batters into the game.
"We wanted to set the tone for the game obviously early, but I've talked about setting the tone for the season and I don't think you can draw it up any better than that," DiMare said." We absolutely set the tone in the first inning. We went three up, three down and then put some runs on the board in the first inning."
The Hurricanes broke it open with a six-run second inning that featured a two-run triple by Willy Escala, an RBI double by Vilar and was capped by a two-run homer by Zamora that cleared the scoreboard in left field.
"I definitely noticed the ball was jumping off the bat more than it did last year," Zamora said. "It's all about approach at the plate and getting a good pitch to hit, a pitch to drive, and I think I did a good job of that today."
Miami hitters had 20 hits on Friday night, but were especially successful with runners on base (14--for29) and with runners in scoring position (11-for-20).
"Overall a good start, " DiMare said. "I'm happy that we swung the bat because that's kind of been our nemesis the last few years and we've been working really hard on trying to improve on that. I've been looking forward to watching us play for a while now against somebody else and I am looking forward to moving forward here and getting better."
After driving a ball to the wall an inning earlier to send two runners home, Escala drove in his third run of the night with a perfectly placed safety squeeze that allowed Lala to score easily from third and give Miami an 8-0 lead. Two batters later, Vilar battled through an eight-pitch at-bat before smacking a two-run single to left that put the Canes up double-digits.
Hurricanes' ace Evan McKendry earned his first win of the season in impressive fashion. The junior right-hander held Rutgers to three runs on four hits over six innings while striking out eight and walking just one. McKendry retired the first 10 hitters he faced and did not allow a hit until Rutgers' 13thbatter of the night.
"It was awesome, I mean a dream come true," McKendry said. "I always wanted to be the Friday night here. It was just a great experience."

Wouldn't be great to have a great baseball team and a great football team this year. Is it possible?

Clemson is sticking at No. 1.
A month removed from their decisive national championship victory over Alabama, the Tigers top the first 2019 rankings for the Football Power Index (FPI) -- ahead of the Crimson Tide, again.
The same was true last year, though 12 months ago Clemson being in the top spot was more controversial and was fueled by a roster stacked with defenders now headed to the NFL. This year, the Tigers boast the nation's best offense, led by quarterback sensation Trevor Lawrence.

While Clemson's 44-16 drubbing of the Tide might have college football fans recalibrating their expectations for Nick Saban's team, make no mistake -- it's still Clemson and Alabama and then everyone else. The difference in rating between No. 2-ranked Alabama (plus-27.6) and No. 3-ranked Georgia (plus-22.0) is the same as the Bulldogs' advantage over 10th-ranked Oregon (plus-16.4). Clemson ranks first in offense and second in defense; Alabama is vice versa.
Clemson is predicted to be better than every other team in the country, so it makes sense that we're forecasting the Tigers to have a dominating edge over every other team in the conference. The ACC is thin on upper-tier teams. In fact, after Clemson, it has basically ... nothing. Clemson is more than 17 points per game better than every other team in the ACC. Our conference and playoff projections won't be out for a couple of months, but it's safe to say that the Tigers' outlook for both of those will be awfully strong.
At this point, if you're wondering how FPI works, jump to the bottom for a quick explainer. And if you want to see last year's rankings at this time, you can check them out here -- where you'll find not only Clemson ahead of Alabama, but Notre Dame in the top five, a major surprise to most back then.
But let's shift back to 2019 now -- because there's another story of dominance brewing aside from the Tigers.
Superior SEC
This is something you won't see in any of the preseason polls. The SEC has placed 10 teams in FPI's preseason top 20.
Let that sink in for a minute.
The SEC has three of the top five teams in the country, five of the top 10 and half of the top 20!
The 10th-best SEC team (Missouri) is better than the second-best ACC team (Florida State) and the second-best Big 12 team (Texas).
The best division in football is the SEC West. The second-best division is the SEC East.
For the SEC -- or any conference -- this sort of depth is unprecedented. No conference in the past 15 years of FPI has had more than eight teams in the top 20 of the preseason rankings.
How can this happen? And can it be possibly true?
To the latter, sure.
One problem the polls -- and humans in general -- have is that they fail to divorce themselves from win-loss records. That's a problem when judging conferences, since the majority of every team's games are against other teams in its conference. That leads to guaranteed losses and the appearance that conferences are more similar than they actually are. Because FPI is judging teams' performances with their opponents' strength in mind, it has no problem believing that the SEC is that much better than everyone else.
And if we look at perhaps the most surprising inclusion -- Tennessee -- it's easy to see why the Volunteers have flown up our board. Tennessee is one of just three FBS schools to return 10 starters on offense (and it brings back 17 overall), including quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, who posted a solid QBR of 67.4 last season. Even though Tennessee struggled on offense overall last season, teams that bring back that much talent tend to undergo significant improvement from one year to the next. The Vols also rank highly in recruiting over the past four years.
While the overall strength of the SEC is outrageous, we'd be negligent to ignore the fact that in addition to Alabama and Georgia ranking No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, LSU has climbed to No. 4. That might not seem like a particularly far climb from the No. 6 spot where the Tigers finished in the AP poll, but FPI was relatively unimpressed with LSU last season and had the school all the way down at No. 17.
Still, coach Ed Orgeron has work to do if he wants to compete for an SEC title: FPI predicts the Tigers are about 6 points per game worse than the Crimson Tide. That's within striking distance for sure, but LSU isn't in that elite tier just yet.

Texas is not back
One of the teams expected to generate plenty of preseason buzz is Texas. But not from FPI.
The hype that the Longhorns have finally produced is, in our model's estimation, overstated. Tom Herman's team checks in at No. 26 in our rankings, just missing the cut for our accompanying table (you can find them in the full rankings at the end of this post).
Though Texas took strides last season, it had the benefit of starting 13 seniors and graduate students. Even with a cumulative top-five recruiting rank over the past four seasons, the fact that Texas is returning just eight starters is very likely to be a problem.
As a result, FPI believes Texas is not one of the top 25 teams in college football and will more closely resemble Iowa State or Baylor than Oklahoma in 2019.
Oregon among major risers
The Pac-12 is absent from the very top of FPI's rankings -- hardly a surprise to college football fans over the past couple of years -- but the conference's best chance might be a team that didn't even play in its championship game last season: Oregon. Thanks in part to Justin Herbert throwing a stiff-arm at the NFL draft, the Ducks flew up the FPI ranks from No. 31 at the end of 2018 to No. 10 now.
The aforementioned Volunteers had the biggest rank jump (plus-50) of any top-25 team, but close in pursuit were UCLA (plus-47) and Florida State (plus45).
The Bruins, in particular, appear primed for a major improvement in Chip Kelly's second season. Last season's 3-9 record comes with important context -- no FBS team had a more difficult strength of schedule than UCLA. When FPI judged the Bruins' performance in 2018, it kept the tough schedule in mind. Throw in 19 returning starters and it believes Kelly & Co. could shock the college football universe with a big jump this season.

Cain: Fields' eligibility will turn waiver system 'into a joke'Will Cain says the NCAA must be consistent with exceptions after Justin Fields received a waiver making him eligible to play for Ohio State in 2019.
FPI places a special emphasis on the most important position in football, though it doesn't always understand the nuances of a team's situation or the latest on the NCAA's transfer situation (who does?).
The most notable example of this is Ohio State's Justin Fields. While Fields is a major acquisition who has been approved to play in 2019, FPI does not award the Buckeyes extra credit for securing the transfer QB because he didn't earn significant playing time at Georgia. Instead, the Buckeyes are treated as if they will have to play a completely green QB this season, which, technically, is true -- he's just a high-profile one. Austin Kendall (West Virginia) and Tate Martell (Miami, if declared eligible) are handled similarly by FPI.
This is in contrast to situations like Kelly Bryant at Missouri, for example. The Tigers receive some credit in FPI for bringing in a transfer QB with significant starting experience. Jalen Hurts at Oklahoma, Brandon Wimbush at UCF and Jacob Eason at Washington are all treated this way.
As for Florida State -- though Willie Taggart booted Deondre Francois off the team -- FPI counts James Blackman as a returning starting quarterback because he previously started for the Seminoles.
FPI refresher
FPI is our predictive rating and ranking system for college football. It's set to the scale of points per game above average, and it fuels all of our predictions and projections (out later this offseason) before and during the season.
You can read a full explanation of FPI's inner workings here or watch the accompanying video. But the quick version is that in the preseason, FPI ratings are determined through four factors:
Team performance over the past four seasons (most emphasis on last season)
Returning starters at quarterback, on offense overall and on defense
Whether a team has a returning head coach
Recruiting rankings over the past four seasons

It took a little longer for Miami's offense to get going after a 19-run barrage on Opening Night, but one big swing by first baseman Alex Toral sparked another offensive explosion that led to another Hurricanes victory.
Miami (2-0) put up seven runs in two innings to pushed past Rutgers (0-2) and secure a series win on opening weekend, 7-1.

Easy to type but you don't even offer up a replacement name so even easier to laugh at and dismiss.
Besides, you're calling for firing him for roster mismanagement at this point for not knowing Dewan got hitched up with a scum bag thanks to lack of compliance oversight in the AD by Fake Lames and his cronies like GD. The Pimp's turning in one of the better coaching seasons of his time at UM this year and one of his better coaching jobs of his career considering how wafer thin he's got his bench with the former walk-on until this season playing eight man minutes out of no other choices left. If anybody loses their job it's the over-promoted peter principle ticket distributor pretending to 'direct' athletics at UM while they've circled all the way down the drain to irrelevance under the dumbass and the bots that back him.
Posted by: orange 'n green in the vein | February 18, 2019 at 07:16 AM
"The bench is wafer thim." True! But whose fault is that?
The starting 5 ain't so good either. Indeed, our best player is a midget - who is pretty good for a player his size, but not nearly good enough to be a starter in the ACC.
The head coach earns over $1 million a year. But we appear to have bargain basement players (from here and abroad). Why?
We're one of the worst teams in the ACC. Compare that to the FSU men's basketball team (coached by UM's former coach) and UM's women's basketball team (which is a contending for the ACCC).
Coach L is a good guy. But no one cares any more about his "good old days" at Providence or George Mason. It's "put up or shut up" time. It's time to win; or it's time to be gone.

Yes, I understand you: old guys rule. We all love old guys. You convinced me 100%...We should keep Coach L around as long as possible.

GC,
I love that quote from Cheney: “We’re going to make them pay. We’re going to make everybody pay for they’ve done, what they’ve said about UM."
It’s always good to see a Canes who plays with a big chip on his shoulder

Soup you have Ageism complicated by Gerontophobia....I recommend 2 hours in a wheelchair and a visit to the old folks home for your condition...
Hey, at least Larranaga aint a DIRTY old man!

Two hours in a wheelchair will probably do me good. Especially after eating a heaping helping of bacon wrapped, jalepeno stuffed, grilled Venison! I know a guy who knows a guy.
I visit the "Old Folks Home" every time I am in Miami and visit my 93 year old aunt Dorthy. Trust me it ain't a pretty site.
I stick by my comment. I like Coach L and appreciate all he has done at Miami and I believe that he should do us a Richt and copy Marky-Marks lead. We have to do better than a mutant midget and The Bust from Down Under at guard.

Is this the same guava jam that was served a few years ago at the Miami vs USF tailgate?
