USC Baseball Gurus: What is your honest prediction for the 2021 Gamecock Baseball Season.

[USCBatgirl21]

There are around 8 -9 SEC teams that can finish in the top 25 with Florida and Vandy picked to be 1 and 3.

There are 8 -9 SECteams that could finish in the top 25 with Florida and Vandy 1 and 3. Read up on the SEC teams with the players they have returned and their recruiting classes. Look at the All american and SEC top 3 allstar teamss. We onlly had 2 or 3 to be listed. We were around 19th in one of the polls.

Don't worry. I have. Probably moreso than a lot of people.

Expecting (but more like hoping) ---
Non-Conference: no worse than 18-8
Conference: no worse than 15-15
SECT: win at least one game
** If all that happens, we'll likely be a 2-seed in Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Miami, somewhere like that
Regional: make it to Sunday / whatever the final day is

Predictions are tough in a Covid year bc we do not know how many games will get played vs cancelled. Football got them all in and men’s basketball had a ton of issues. On the surface baseball would seem low risk, but there were a couple of MLB teams that demonstrated how easy it could be to knock out a few weeks (Marlins, Cardinals, etc...)

I think we end up being a 2 seed in a regional. Still could host as a 2. I think the idea that this is a top 16 team is a little premature. I’m going to have to see them do it against solid competition before I believe it. In 2020 we were off to a good start, but had lost series to Northwestern and Clemson. In 2019 it was a dumpster fire, especially when conference games exposed our lack of pitching depth. I think we’re better, but we’re still a long way from Omaha.

So, anybody want to guess what the starting lineup will be tomorrow?

This was actually pretty damn close!

I think this was pretty spot on as well....but it’ll trigger those that think I’m a tater or not a real fan.

My take. Great start of the season and another June Raines fall flat on our faces end of the season.

We did seem to get worse at everything we tried to do at the plate. It was a slow death. In the end, nothing was there
