The storm clouds are gathering over Georgia Baseball. The bright and sunny preseason is fading into the gray and dismal late season collapse. I'd say this pic sums it up:
They look small and lost here; like Vandy football. Georgia is really scraping the bottom of the barrel baseball-wise right now. We broke an 8-game losing streak and avoided a sweep two weeks ago by edging Vandy in game 3. That qualified us for the SEC tourney and seemed to motivate us a bit, as we went on to beat Tech last week at the Ted. However, it all came crashing down again this past weekend against South Carolina, as we were swept for the second time in three series. We ended up seeding at SIXTH for the conference tournament; a far cry from late March when we clutched first place with an iron grip. LSU and Ole Miss ended up splitting the SEC in-season title. Here's the conference tourney seeding:
1. LSU*
2. Florida
3. Ole Miss*
4. Alabama
5. South Carolina
6. Georgia
7. Arkansas
8. Vanderbilt
* SEC Co-Champs
Georgia draws Ole Miss in the first round (we beat the Rebs 4-1 in round 1 last season). The eight teams play in a double elimination tournament slated to run from Wednesday through Sunday in Hoover, AL. Depending on our first round performance, we either play Florida or Arkansas in round 2.
WTF happened?
