That's more like it.

All kidding aside, that would be an incredible turnaround and I would love it for these kids to experience that kind of a season. Heck, I would even make my avatar a pic of JD's head on Macho Man Randy Savage's body.
 
Hope I’m wrong obviously but this could spin out of control quick with UConn and Florida non conference and then early ACC series of FSU, UNC, Wake, and Duke. I’d bet money we lose every one of those series. Man, I hope I’m wrong so much.

In my original prediction i had us losing 3/4 of those series, if you say we lose all four, that means we would be 33-23 record and 15-16 in the ACC
 
I'll go 33-22, 14-16 in the ACC, and on the wrong side of the bubble, but like I said in the other thread this is as high an uncertainty season as I can remember.

This is sort of where I am, but do think we'll sneak in as a 3 somewhere w this record. Barring injuries, there seems to be enough depth and talent such that we should be playing well in May, which I believe is a big intangible for the Committee for bubble teams.

Although I think a 19 - 6 non-conference record might be a bit optimistic.

I'd been debating 13 or 14 ACC wins, and went with 14 at the last second.

That non-conference record should be close though if we've really improved. 3 midweek losses was our worst under Gino, figure two or three to Florida, and one to UCONN. Again, if you've really improved you have to win that UCONN series, or you get into the scenario Shoeless outlined.

The first midweek game at FAU and the UCONN series are my big early barometers.

Agree, especially with respect to the coaches' preparedness in keeping the team focused.

Bump. It appears I was not wrong.

Anyone that had half of a brain could see that marginal improvement at certain positions, while losing a ton of pop in the lineup could spell disaster. But when u’re realistic as a fan on this board, u’re tarred & feathered or scarlet lettered as a mope.

As I said, the team “looked” better compared to last season, but we played some of the worst teams in baseball at that point. I wouldn’t be able to gage how good this team was until we flipped the calendar, & this team has proven to be what many, objective fans thought.

Agree with you unfortunately.
In other threads I've said 28 wins, was told by the more optimistic folks that would be a disaster.
Now I'm thinking 23ish.
This F ing sucks
Last weekend I went down from SC for the fsu series. Typically hit 2-3 series a year. No more. No wasting any more $$

Yeah I didn’t like putting my prediction. But knowing what we lost, what we return and likely didn’t develop, and then digging into who we brought in mixed with this staff; it wasn’t rocket science knowing things weren’t going to be good.
