South Carolina catcher

Why doesn’t he take a fastball to the ear after running his mouth on the homerun. I miss the old days of baseball.

I wish our pitchers were that accurate.

Agree. That REALLY pissed me the **** off when he kept on with that

You would think we would shut him up by winning. But that was the difference, his home run ends up being game over

The type of guys that win can hit them in the ear. Think about that.

Win or lose, If they try to show us up they need to pay the price.

I’d hit it…

I seriously don’t know if we have the kids that should get pissed at that. I haven’t seen it if we do.

I wish we had a catcher that was good enough he could talk **** and back it up, receive the ball well, and throw runners out

With past competitive MSU teams, they would have found a "will and a way" to come back after that.

But there's no fight or pride in this bunch obviously. I'm thinking we see a bunch of them hit the road after this season, some of them just quitters and/or don't have the talent and a few that can play but don't want to be a part of another year like the last 2 and want to play for a winner. Some leaving can be a good thing, or a bad thing depending on how whomever is at the helm soon after the end of this season handles it.

And just think, they didn't even wear helmets back in the day.

Why is there not a penalty for taunting in baseball like there is in every other college sport? Apparently in only baseball can you zero class or sportsmanship without any consequence.

The umps rarely call it. Lemonis wanted an out after the barking to his dugout and then again at home plate. It was excessive and the ump just let the kid act like an idiot

Baseball used to police itself. There wasn't a need. They've taken away the ability to retaliate.

Thread hijack:

Just clarifying that you hit a batter in the middle of his back, not in the ear hole for talking ****. I know it's just a saying, but a baseball hitting you in the head at 95 mph is the same force as a 12 lb bowling ball being dropped on your head from 10' above.

But yes, smoke him right in the middle of the back by all means. That's the game and he sure as **** needed it. I promise it still hurts like a mofo.

I just worry when people say "hit em in the ear hole" kids might take it literally and start head hunting.

Old man rant over. Now all the fat old mouth breathers that haven't seen there peckers in 25 years can come tell me about how tough they are and how it was when they played ball in their day... Similar to the targeting threads during football season.

I'm of the opinion Chin Music & Over the Head throws are warnings. Messages delivered are in the meat: a$$ to shoulders.

Never head hunt - I’ve had to experience last year with my 10 yr old at the time playing up in 11u

took 3 HBPs to the head in the same day - velocities that day were 65-70 for the kids

had dizziness on Tuesday- two days later - went to practice just to be present and maybe do light skill work on side - kid over threw one and got him again

long story short - he went into concussion protocol for over a month with symptoms and just stayed fatigue the remainder of season once released

kid is still fearless but we don’t take hbp just anywhere now

I’m of the opinion, tell the next batter, sorry for what’s about to come but you can blame your teammate. Then, smoke in the ribs or back with a fastball.

No no no no. We already give up 17 free baserunners per game on accident, we don’t need more of them on purpose.
