re: Nate Fury sums it up well in a tweet today....

you're better than starting a thread that stirs controversy amongs the fan base after a loss

What controversy? I'm just tired of the same fans who last week were loving the Tigers now doing nothing but criticizing them and saying how worthless the players and coaches are. It's sickening.

Paraphrasing, he tweeted, "For the fans who want to hit on us, that's fine. But if you're off the bandwagon, please stay off."

Well said Fury!! It's sickening how fast they hate on the players, like they are going out there planning on having a bad game!

For the Bandwagon bad fans .. STFO

Apparently the players received some tweets which they didn't appreciate.

Which is probably why CPM should shut down all Tweeting/Facebook during the CWS.

Social media = the devil.

Good for you, Nate!

We will see who jumped off the bandwagon by the responses in this thread.

Russian, did you have a chance to see the way Sanchez led the pre-game meeting in the outfield?*

(I'm being facetious. Forgive me for taking a teency bit of a shot at you there, bro)

Personally speaking, I've got more of an issue with either:

1.) Sanchez recruiting kids who are evidently so talented they refuse to listen to coaching when Sanchez is making in-game approach adjustments. Such as last night, when Sanchez-I'm sure-tried to have them stop laying off the high fastball and putting the ball in the air in a jumbo-sized home run sarcophagus named TD Ameritrade Park. They were feeding right into UCLA's pitching approach, and it worked wonders. They have to be more receptive to coaching.

2.) Sanchez may be so ignorant he never made the kids adjust. If so, its another brick in the GTFO here Great Wall Of Javy that I've been building for some time.

But in summation, there's absolutely no faulting the players, unless you buy into the theory that an extremely talented group refused to listen to coaching. If the staff told them to force the pitcher back down into the zone, then that's on them, and they're deserving of objective criticism for it.

If-as you seem to intimate-that the player's aren't the ones who are at issue here...Then it seems to me that whomever came up with our approach at the plate-and whomever was responsible for adjustments (if there were any) -would need to face some tough questions and scrutiny.

Which do you think it is, Russian?

I know I was just being a dick

Why the hell is Nate Fury concerned with fans and twitter when his team is one loss away from becoming the biggest bust in LSU history? They'll have all summer to worry about that crap. UNC is kinda good.

IMO you can't have a large group of passionate fans that are praised as much as LSU baseball fans that are so invested in a team, and not have some over reactive criticism after a loss.

It just comes with the territory. As much as we love being praised for being a fan base that travels well, is involved in the game, knows how to party, etc. we (and the players) need to except that along with that comes some crazy arse fans too.

It's not because our fans our any more ignorant than other fans. We just care more.

Can't have your cake and eat it

Again Id like a definition. Is it someone who is disappointed in the way they performed last night and expect better?

I corrected it with "I meant next Tuesday." totally took all the zing off the comeback.
