If the price is right, I'll head up to Starkville for Saturday's 🏀 game, dress up as a MSU fan; and proceed to throw stuffed Bulldogs on the floor during important parts of the game.

Lots of good ⚾️ stuff happening in South Carolina.
The D2 Defending National Champs (North Greenville Crusaders) are 24-2.
The South Carolina Gamecocks are about to be 20-1 after they sweep Georgia.
That's a lot of winning! 💪🏼🔥📈
Enjoy the good times.

Well, Congrats to Arkansas. They are a very good team.
Loved watching this Gamecock team compete. Hoping all the guys who don’t get huge sums of money will consider coming back for another year.
Proud of the effort and fight in this team.

JMF continues to rake in Indy ball with Billings.
Never drafted. I guess because he played for little ole North Greenville.
For the record, we would beat plenty of D1 teams.
Career: 81 HR's; 330+ RBI; Career .400+ BA

You mean, like better facilities, better technology, more money, more tutors, full training staffs, your own weight room, nutrition on demand, student managers, endless gear, huge fan base, and every top prospect in America dreaming of playing in the SEC?
If Landon Powell ever wants to be the coach at South Carolina, he needs to take a step up first. Go after Winthrop, Citadel, Charleston Southern. There is a huge difference in D1 baseball and D2 baseball.

Spencer Rattler is not discussed enough on the national scene. Dude is legit.
He's better than the UNC guy I keep hearing about.
Maybe it starts translating to wins. 🤞🏼
LSU and Wake Forest's weekends are done, which means it's time to start thinking about who will be No. 1 on Monday.
Looking at the case for and against South Carolina and the top spot:

Pat Monteith (Jr. Super Utility) has come a long way!
@MonteithPat
He used to only give himself a small window to hit. Now he hits Forever; and the results have spoken.
1.257 OPS, 19 HR, 55 BB, 28k
Watch his transformation‼️🔥💪🏼
Looking for a few successful arms, with good numbers; regardless of how hard you throw.
Nestor Cortes/Johnny Cueto movements a plus.
Looking for a couple winners on the mound.
Consecutive seasons of 50+ wins. (Very difficult for D2 baseball) Multiple All-Americans and B2B trips to the CWS.
Plus 6 guys in starting lineup with double digit HR's. 😳💪🏼
Future is bright. Proud to be a part of something special

Unlike D1 ⚾️, in D2 only two teams in the Southeast Region are allowed to host a regional.
There are deserving teams every year in the SE region who do not host because of this rule.

This is so sad to hear. Tommy Moody was a wonderful man.
He loved the Gamecocks!! And loved
@GamecockBasebll
with everything he had.
We lost a real one. Prayers for his amazing family!
I am devastated to learn of the passing of my dear friend Tommy Moody. He was an amazing father, grandfather, friend and colleague. His love of Carolina was immense, but his love for his family was so much greater. We love you Tommy. Thank you for gracing our lives.
Pitchers- unless you are Greg Maddux or Tom Glavine circa 1990's...
Trying to execute unhittable paint jobs in 0-0 counts will typically result in falling behind and walking far to many batters. Both are equally bad.
Set up down the middle. Let it eat.
Great job Cocks. Way to play mediocre baseball and breeze through the regional.
Time to rehydrate, get a new pitching machine, and break out your inner Michael Roth for the tough test that is ahead.
Great job boys.
#GamecockNation
The boys gave it their all. Just couldn't get the big hit when we needed it.
Great group of kids, coaches, and community. Loved every second of it!
Thank you
@BaseballBengals
for a great year. I'm proud of all of you!
These kids ain't perfect...But they know how to perform in the clutch!
40 wins in a D2 season is something to be proud of!
Onto the real season... The postseason....And now we go‼️

@GamecockBasebll
bats are 🔥 compared to 2017.
🚀 +.221 in OPS (on base%+slugging%)🚀
4 SB thru 5 games last year. This year, already 10.
This has translated into 4 more runs per game.
Nice start boys!
Ideas for Gamecock baseball fans tonight in Ark.
1. Dress in Ark. attire & sit amongst Ark. fans.
2. Make loud political statements that make those around you extremely uncomfortable.
3. Be relentless.
4. Sit back and watch it throw them off their game.

My kid is starting to feel it more and more each day. Trying to get him to understand what 'staying back' actually means.
He's actually right handed. But this is all I could get from him today. 😀

Not what I thought I would be tweeting on March 5 in the dead bat era in college baseball -- through 10 games and change, South Carolina leads the nation in HRs with 25.
Shout out to all the Dad's and Grandad's who support their sons/grandsons in baseball!
There are a lot of special bonds formed between fathers and sons through baseball. I know I'm grateful for my dad for all he did for me.
