Not any different here

I monitored your game thread last week against A&M, and yeah, some of the comments were just off the wall bad. But, multiply that by 50, and that’s the Tiger Rant when we lose!

 

[TigerMan]

It doesn’t matter really, I try to not respond, which can definitely be difficult, frustrating and more importantly, just shows a complete lack of manners and history. LSU is the gold standard of SEC baseball, our fans could learn lots from spending a week in Hoover with your fans, which I have. Showing up for the last game is bush league.

As for today, yall are gonna figure it out. No doubt!

I hear ya! I don’t even post there anymore. Just watch and read. But, it takes a lot of will power not to call these people out. What they do is not fandom. It’s just being… well, you know!

Understood.

 

[taylorvol]

And let me tell ya, I absolutely despise the Tiger Rant on game days. The negaTigers are out in full force! Makes me want to vomit reading all the crap from these people, who mostly don’t know a damn thing about college baseball! I’d honestly prefer to take jabs from some of y'all here any day rather than put up with the crap on that board!! It’s so annoying!

Good to know we aren’t alone. I usually avoid the game threads at all costs but broke my rule.

I disagree with the last part. No, not bush league at all. Not everyone can afford, prioritizes, or have the vacation time off to take the whole week off for Hoover or 11 days for Omaha. I’ve been at both for the entire tournaments but certainly don’t begrudge those folks who only show up for the championship game. LSU travels like no other fan base for baseball but they have their share of bandwagoners and jerks as well. TigerMan is solid no doubt. I’d love to talk baseball with him one day.

 

[CAVPUT]

SEC road can be brutal

The goal is to not get swept. We already got that so no pressure tomorrow for us. It's all on Ole Miss. Taking a road series in this league is a tough ask. Either way we did what we needed to do. Having said that, a series win would help off set the aTm nightmare.

It comes with the success, or so I’ve been told. However, people jump all over the kids they are here to support. It is so easy to do, right? Curley got a lot of it today in here. He’s been asked to do a lot and it’s hard to get settled in. I don’t have the answers, but he’s giving his all, there is no doubt. We were in it today, pitchers did enough. We’re okay. Go get ‘em tomorrow.

It’s not about us. It’s about them. For instance, Doyle. He checked his emotion, that wasn’t the case a few short weeks ago. I could say the same for others. The complaints on Marcus, Ariel…on and on…They can’t hear you! They don’t read you, thank goodness, but their parents might.

GBO!!!

That’s fair. It’s true, we do save up for it and use vacation days. Sometimes I go by myself, I have @feathersax to thank. Still, it’s not a right, maybe it’s a luxury. Hear me as I say this…I’ve gone to the play in games, the experience is fantastic and we lost those, we won a championship and I felt like I was in a packed house of folks who weren’t there for the players, just a trophy they’ll never touch.

GBO!!!

Would be a pleasure my friend.

No worries, just win the series tomorrow. My suggestion to Tony, is he needs to start evaluating is weekend starting pitching. I'm very SURE he is. At this point he's given them a chance, or more, and they've come up negative. Who else ya got, because these folks ain't cutting it so far. At this point your Friday guy, gets you to Sunday -- hit or miss. Last week it got you there but was a miss. Either way we'll see tomorrow. Definitely not a bad think to encounter at this point in baseball...IMO. Just the outcome is unknown...weekend pitching.

 

[floridavol25]

You need to go take a couple of courses in baseball. Those steals were 100% the pitchers fault. A high kick and slow release time from the start of your pitch will get you run on all the time. Pop time is how you judge a catcher and Curley's is ok. That pitcher does not need to throw another inning till he learns to do a slide step and speed up his delivery.

What are you talking about? I was referring to his awful throws to first and his lack of clutch hitting as a leader of the team

The mods and elders here do a good job of keeping this place in line. We still have drive-by’s, but we’re a mostly sane group. You’re good company to have.

Utah Valley takes control of the WAC tonight with another trouncing of Grand Canyon, wow!

 

[vol66]

Sacramento St. walks it off vs. Seattle, B11, 7-6

All I got, GNVN

Countdown: 13 hours

GBO!!!”

Looking forward to returning to Hoover in May. Baseball fan's perfect storm. Lots of SEC friends over 22 years. Incredible competition. Go Vols!

Some individuals live and die by every play. I look at baseball like Golf. You may shoot a double bogey on first hole but you got 17 more to make it up. Baseball teams may give up 2 runs in 1st inning but got 8 more to make comeback. The dramatic posters usually are football or basketball fans first. Whole different mindset needed to watch baseball...

Well said. Well said! The Aggies seem to be on fire now. They’ve always had the talent.

Yep but as the great Earl Brown would say, we are all fans regardless of how many games you're able to attend. I judge fans by how they support the team. Do they only support them in good times? Do they turn NegaVol and attack the players and coaches when times are tough? Do they only wear the colors or fly the flag after wins? If you’re a front runner and make personal attacks on the players, I have zero respect for those jokers. They need to hit the fan portal ASAP!

It was nice meeting you last year. Hoover is very special. How do you feel about single elimination this year?

Curley is the SS. The catcher was Peebles. No P at TN will do a slide step as long as Coach Anderson is there. They’ve been very successful with his philosophy. You might see more pickoff attempts in certain situations but no slide steps.

 

[SGMVols]

Kerrick Jackson makes Todd Raleigh look like Skip Bertman. It’s beyond comprehension how bad Missouri is. 0-15 in the SEC.
