H. is fine. Tanner was good, but it still took him time. Assembling a team that is special takes time. Learning to coach like Tanner will take time. If you guys are willing to jump off a bridge.. and say that 44 wins wasn't good, then by all means.. please leave the Gamecocks fan base.

Great post, points to you

44-18 is not a lot of excitement....GG and Schrock hitting walk off HR in the last inning....how did the Clemson series work out this year......you need to find a new team....

Just got back from the game.. The glaring thing I noticed us the lack of fire and leadership on this team... Never saw any emotion tonight...

Maryland was by far the better team tonight...

In hindsight, Crowe should have thrown last night... If that happened, Maryland would gave had to win 3 straight, and I'm pretty sure they would not have done so.

what happens if Crowe shuts out Maryland.....just asking.....

robgusc76 · 06-01-2014, 11:45 PM

You really need to look no further than how many runners Carolina left in scoring position. That defined this season. SO many games left out there on the bases, including the SEC regular season championship.

I do think that if Jordan moves on, that Crowe takes Friday's. If I were a betting man I'd say Taylor snatches the #2 spot. But I don't know squat.

I understand, but we had to win 3 games, not 1 or 2......I will say this, if Holbrook had pitched seddon against the camels today and lost, that would have been brutal.

Dont argue with him. Had Holbrook started a mid-week guy and South Carolina lose, he would be arguing that they should have started Crowe.

You always start your best. I don't care what awaits in the "next game" if you can't get to the next game you can't win it.

Depends on how high Jordan gets drafted... Crowe was the best pitcher we had the last month of the season, he could easily be a Friday starter... Wynkoop needs to get mentally tougher....

Koop was the most consistent pitcher on the team this season, had two bad games at the end of the season. Koop didn't get the run support.

I'm sad too.....but don't look at that way.....football is around the corner, then Frank's got the guys moving in the right direction, and I think we will improve in baseball next year. There is always room for hope and optimism....don't you ever listen to anyone that tells you any different......you see there are lots of people on here that aren't smart enough to understand the fact that it's the nature of sports, somebody has to win and somebody has to lose....and there is no shame or disgrace in losing.....it will make you a better man for it.

I do embrace this sentiment ! Go Cocks...................

now that it's over with maybe all of the negative Nancy's will go away and not come back.

Great year. Look forward to next year.

His last 3 starts..got shelled at Vandy, fell apart in Hoover vs Florida, and did not get out of the 2nd inning last night...

He was solid up until that, but his last 3 starts have been bad.

Ok so the two bad games were bad three games. And honestly, which pitcher didn't get shelled at the SEC tournament?

Has anyone mentioned firing Calvi yet?

I'm just saying it might help.

lilhornet · 06-02-2014, 12:22 AM

Next season will be determined by the choices of English, Pankake, Montgomery, and Griener. If they all, if not most of them guys leave we are looking at a reloading year next year. Just look at how many games were won or lost because of those guys. It'll be interesting to see what those guys do regarding staying in school or going pro.
