About Tommy Tanks
quote:

People who follow the team know that Tommy hurt us more than he helped when he played third. He was overweight and could not field the position. Even had we let him kill us at third, he would have gone for the money. He as much as admitted it.

quote:

Didn't like Tommy when he played for us, definitely don't like him now. Prefer class and acting like you've been there.

quote:

He has dropped weight and worked on his fielding apparently. He did hurt us when he tried to play 3rd and then was poison in the clubhouse after he bellyflopped trying catch a ground ball and DHed. Good riddance.

quote:

The guy is playing in the championship while playing 3B and making good NIL, while we’re sitting at home. But sure, he definitely would’ve hurt us

quote:

Great press from USA Today... "OMAHA, Neb. — Tommy White transferred to LSU baseball for a fresh start. He missed the NCAA Tournament as a freshman at NC State. He came to LSU to not just play in it but play for a national championship. And thanks to one swing of the bat on Thursday at Charles Schwab Field, he'll get his chance."

quote:

Tommy White just walked off LSU into the finals. Cannot really blame the guy for leaving when the result is a championship appearance

quote:

looks like we are a feeder school now for teams going to the CWS.

Pack pride

Must we be so petty? Can't we just enjoy the success for our own sake, and not for the sake of getting over on others? That is where true joy comes from, mates.

It’s important to know your place in the food chain.

While it’s nice to be the beneficiary it is kind of a shitty reality for some of these programs in the portal /NIL era

Sounds like many LSU posts when a player transfers out.

If Crews had transfered out after Pulmonary stepped down you'd be in that insufferable belly aching chorus.

We've got a couple stud freshman catchers on the roster. And a third that will play as well.

Tell me how to act when you hit a walk-off at the CWS in the bottom 11th of an elimination game to send your team to the championship?

Tommy was fine at 3b all season, and has been very good in the postseason. Clearly he believed in and bet on himself to be able to handle the position, and at LSU he found coaches that believed in him and coached him up. So happy he's a Tiger for life now.

These posts are complete polar opposite from all the dealings I've had with NC State fans. My foreman texted me when Tommy committed to LSU out of the portal and told me how good he was and that he was upset he left but was gonna root for him.

NC hadn't been there in years, and judging by they antics pulled online, it showed.
