per Gamecock Radio Network - the Auburn grounds crew did not water down the area in front of home plate for game 1 tonight - our sinker ball P has had a few bounce high and a few skip through the infield early on - 
I can appreciate that Auburn - tip of the cap
USC 1
AUB 5
T3

I've no idea if this was to improve bounce but it seems unlikely. I think, with as much rain is around, they didn't want to add more water.

true on the rain -
I have no issue if it was a little gamesmanship - we used to have that in our dugouts - but really none since around 2018 or so -
for a long time it was Jim "Storm" Toman - that's a page out of his book
eta - at this point Mainieri is looking at getting run-ruled in the series opener - and there's a good chance it won't be the only time it happens this weekend -

This year's SC team doesn't look like a normal SC team.

South Carolina hasn’t been to Omaha in over 10 years
This is normal for them at this point

Holbrook had 2 Supers as well -
but yeah Carolina had just played in Omaha in 6 of the previous 11 seasons prior to the year Holbrook took over for Tanner -
Gamecock baseball went 17 seasons between trips to Omaha in the twilight of June Raines' successful run as HC and the early Tanner years -

Poor SC. We’re obliterating their pitching.

Y'all have no bullpen. I don't know why but it's bad.

Justin Parker now the interim at State
Matt Williams now at Coastal Carolina
and finally Terry Rooney who Mainieri had to have in order to take the USC job -

That's hard. My assumption is that you turn it around in two years but it may be a rough two years. We've obviously been there before.

Paul has a 5 million buyout and is hurtling us toward the abyss. We are screwed. Good luck recruiting if this is the product you are putting out

Oh shite, bases loaded.

Poor USC. This is hard to watch.

Why change pitchers at this point? Save arms for tomorrow.
