re: Fla pitcher got ejected for celebrating strikeout

1990s LSU baseball (led by their head coach) "inspired the other team." Hmm didn't seem to change things. I wonder why?

LSU did not act this way in the 1990s. You think Skip Bertman telling a few jokes about Starkville is the same as a pitcher giving the DX suck it after a strike out is laughable. Skip and Ron Polk were/are great friends. There was no ill Will involved. It was friendly banter.

Did LSU in the 1990s walk the fine line from confidant and cocky, sure. Was it crossed at times, perhaps. But was there a nonstop display of douchbaggery every weekend, no. I’ve said this before, Skip instructed his teams to NOT act in such a manner. “That’s how they act at a place like Vanderbilt.” (They weren’t any good at the time)

So you think he’s telling his players to be jerks? Do I have that correct?

You get what you allow.

Other than arguing with umps, we have strong Tennessee vibes going right now

As I stated in the last page, I would venture to say that CJJ talked to Jones about it afterwards.

Some of y’all are acting like the players go out there and tell the opposing team to screw themselves after every inning.

They might be a little cocky ( crossing their arms at home plate after a HR) but that’s hardly the worst thing in the world.

They’re allowed to celebrate. That’s part of playing sports.

This is so off base it’s pathetic. Until we start flipping people off while rounding the bases, maybe quit the Tennessee comparisons.

you know what i said and if you think this is what i said then your a stupid mfer

No I don’t know what you said. That’s why I asked. And I don’t understand why you’re being so defensive about my question.

I’m not changing any “back and forth.” Not sure what you meant by that but in any case I was simply asking you a question.

Judging by your response, I think you agree that he’s not telling his players to be jerks.

They get caught up in the moment and sometimes their emotions get the best of them.

You’re acting like they go over to the opposing dugout and start fist fights.

They’re allowed to celebrate. He allows them to have fun, like I said earlier. And I would assume that Johnson spoke to Jones about it afterwards.

If you want to think he “allows” them to react to the gravity of the game, knock yourself out. That’s human nature to be like that in the heat of the moment.

If you know Skip then you would know your arse was going to the bench for some cry baby shite like these guys do today.

You don't know skip nor do you know players who played for him in the 90s. I do. They like what they see under the Johnson regime much more than they did under the Manieri regime.

Let me guess, you just know a guy? Sauces?

And I can’t stand Florida and ordinarily I’d be like,”good” but unless there’s more to this, and based on the video, the ump is overreacting.

---

The Florida kid celebrated in a pretty low key way. To even call it a "flex" like some people did is a little disingenuous. And, he was pointed toward his own dugout, yelling toward his own dugout.

Absolute overreaction by the umps.

Completely agree.
