How to Watch Miami's Midweek Matchup Against Florida Gulf Coast
Even with all the ups and downs of the season, the Miami Hurricanes are starting to find their groove again after dropping series against Florida and now the newly ranked Boston College.
The Canes sit No. 39 in the NCAA RPI and are still in a great position to be a postseason team; however, they have to keep up their winning ways.
The Hurricanes have won their last eight of nine games and have been undefeated during midweek competition. Now the Canes will turn their attention to Florida Gulf Coast.
The Hurricanes' offense continues to hum and be one of the best in the country. However, the bullpen continues to have questions all around. It is incredibly thin, and even a returning Frank Menedez wasn't enough to throw off what is in there.
Starters are still trying to find their role, but the Canes still have solid starts. Their bullpen remains the biggest question mark as they get deeper into conference play.
Moreover, against another hot offense, the Canes continue to look towards their pitching staff, which is also trying to find answers.
J.D. Arteaga has a lot of question marks to deal with over the next few weeks as the team's health, rotational pieces, and how he can continue to rally and fight through all the changes that have happened.
