For those who still don’t get the Jones situation
Posted on 4/16/23 at 7:13 am

Quick pitching is one of those unwritten no nos in the game of baseball. It’s a bush-league move. Doing it once during an AB is a bitch move, doing it twice on back-to-back pitches is straight up disrespectful. Think A-Rod screaming “I got it” on an infield pop up, but it gets dropped. Or, more fitting given UKs HC, screaming a base number to confuse a fielder in the midst of a crucial play in the game.
Naturally, Jones was bottling up some well justified anger given the scenario. To then get time granted by the ump and take the very next pitch (which the pitcher still tried to quick pitch him on) 453’ to dead center, the kid is naturally going to have an explosion of emotion and a feeling of vindication. We can debate whether the actions were appropriate (I loved it), but it’s no different than the shite everyone loves in football after big plays in big moments.
So all you bitching about his actions and saying shite like “he needs to be suspended”, kindly remove your tampon, and go frick yourself. Kid did nothing wrong.

Thanks for clearing it all up for us

I really don’t care that he did it like I don’t care about angel reese taunting, it’s competitive sports all kinds of emotions are involved. Sometimes the heat of the moment gets the best of you which is why I can care less. The only people who care are the ones who never competed

He was already frustrated by the called strike 3 on a pitch well off the plate on a previous at bat.

Add to that, it was a tight game and at a crucial spot with the series on the line. It was a boiler plate moment in the game.

Isn't that before the pitch clock? LSU has had some pitchers that looked to "ready set go" when they're out there.

Just curious. Why did you start an entirely different thread to reply to a poster that started another thread?

I dont agree with the suspension but if he said what I thought he said from my TV living room lip reading I am surprised he didnt get tossed. It looked like he dropped an F bomb or two on the pitcher.

Not many people are saying he should be suspended, that why that post has 450+ downvotes. Some people don’t like what he did and that’s fine. I personally don’t care and thought it was hilarious. But I also don’t get all riled up when other teams like Tennessee do it to us. It’s high level competitive sports, there is going to be shite talking on both sides. I think fans should just not worry about it to be honest.

He got quick pitched once. And not really on the first pitch of the at bat or the homerun. If you are gonna try to be the beacon of light on the situation, at least get it right. He got quick pitched on the 2nd pitch of the at bat and got upset about that one.

Wow. If people don’t like it, it’s their opinion to like or not like it.
I was not able to watch the game, but I saw the replay. Doesn’t bother me.
To say he needs to be suspended? We do have some anti fans here. Nobody hates LSU players, like LSU fans.

From what I understand Kentucky talked a lot of shite all weekend. I’m actually glad to see our players give some of it back to them.

Those that don't understand likely were never baseball players or cared enough to be extremely competitive. Baseball's match-up of pitcher VS hitter is pure 1 on 1 competition. You're at thatplate alone and when you "win" an at bat in the way he did with circumstances the way they were, of course the kid is gonna explode emotions. Its human nature. Even the greats we lore as bastions of sportsmanship had an emotional outburst or two. Funny how the old heads came up with these unwrittens but apparently never got upset when someone broke them. Get real

I sure would like someone to post a gif or video of it since I’m way out in the woods and haven’t seen it.

Your explanation is a good one, and it’s mostly correct, but not this part. The kid absolutely did something wrong. Yelling FYP. FY is wrong. Period. It was funny. I laughed. But it was still wrong.

You quick a guy twice in a close highly contested game and series… you’re gonna get some blowback from a guy who hits bomb down 2 strikes.
If you’re Johnson…You talk to Jonesafter the game and explain why we don’t want to make this a habit going forward and move on and I’m sure that’s what he did and then patted him on the back and gave him an attta boy..

I think Everyone understood. UK were a bunch of classless douchebags all weekend.
If they could I’m sure they’d bay flip burns. They act like 2021 Tennessee but at least Tennessee was going cool stuff before rubbing it in people’s faces.
