Why does LSU insist on playing Callin’ Baton Rouge for every pitching change?

It doesn’t exactly hit the same at 1:57 on a Wednesday vs Nicholls in the 2nd inning with LSU up 5-1 like it does on a close Friday night game in the SEC.

They’ll play it twice in the same inning too if there’s two changes

Stupid rant, I know. Just had to vent.

Because the manager is getting on the phone with the dugout

They don’t. It’s the first time our opponents make a mid- inning pitching change. They don’t play it more than once per game,

And as to your “it doesn’t hit the same”.. of course it didn’t. Just like the Golden Band from Tigerland playing pregame before the Southern game doesn’t hit the same as it does before the Bams game.

Anytime the visiting team changes pitchers after a homer, they should play "Momma Said Knock You Out".

Another pitching change for Nicholls.

Did they play Callin Baton Rouge? King of Stupid Takes said they play it every time. Surely that wasnt Guns N Roses just playing during a Nicholls pitching change.

Whomever is in charge of the music at the box needs to hang it up.

Because they're "calling" in a new pitcher, and LSU is in "Baton Rouge".

I've heard it so much for pitching changes over the years (tarp crew '12-'16) that I'm now totally sick of it even in Tiger Stadium.

But, it's cool and harmless to have unique traditions like that. This is a "me" problem.

It's a local call to the bullpen.
