In light of "pride month" - here are two things to remember.
Do Love:
Behind every self-identified label is a person made in the image of God. People are more than labels.
Don't Affirm:
One of the most unloving things we can do is affirm & celebrate what the Bible calls sinful.
The Lord didn’t check who inside the house was worthy. He checked for blood on the doorposts.
None of us is worthy. Only the blood of Jesus can cover us.
South Carolina Baseball under Paul Mainieri is now 7-34 against power conference competition, 6-28 vs the SEC.
The worst this program has been in my lifetime… I was born in late 1976.
This despite…
-A top 10 baseball operating budget nationally.
-A top half in the SEC (at least) NIL budget that was increased significantly year over year.
-A mostly new roster and a lineup that was supposed to be the strength.
Beyond the wins and losses
-Founders Park is way, way empty for the first time ever
-The state of SC is loaded with baseball talent and a double digit number of those players are heading to power conference programs the Gamecocks have to compete against.
-It’s interesting that some of the pitching has been better and some has been elite and the catcher is calling the pitches this year, the only coaching type change that was made after last season.
Baseball folks, is there hope? Is this “just baseball” … seems that either the recruiting coordinator (Terry Rooney) whiffed on double digit players in the portal or they aren’t being coached for success. But you folks that know the game well… what do you think?
Barring a major change of heart on the part of the South Carolina administration, Lamont Paris will return for a fifth year to lead the Gamecocks men's basketball program, multiple contacts have confirmed to me (90 percent plus maybe higher). @johnmwhittle reported the same last night on TBS. Paris is 62-67 with four seasons nearly complete.
