I remember we had an athlete that played in a baseball game and then in a spring football game the same day.

I live a mile from the stadium. We had a little rain cloud come over us and dump a lot of water in a little time. Fortunately, no lightning and thunder.
For some reason the guy doing the infield watering is trying to grow trout out there. He overwaters and the infield is full of mud. If I was an infielder I would be bitching about it. Johnson must think that gives us some advantage for him to allow it.
Is it just a coincidence that the two teams leading the SEC in DPs played us. Seems like we were getting out on double plays every other inning against those two.

We choked on free throws.....especially at the end of the game.
Josh Pearson....according to Johnson.
I took my grandson......we only could make it for 4 innings. I hope the opener is not the usual 50 degrees with winds out of the north.

Sunday Baseball Scrimmage

Posted by tigerwat on 2/1/26 at 11:09 am
The scrimmage is now slated for 2.
We have season tickets, but I never noticed it until last night. I dont know why but it looked like there were cracks in the floor.
Coach Johnson stated Thursday at the Coaches Committee meeting tonight.
We attended the 93 series......for the championship game we had horrible tickets.....all the way down the left field line surrounded by WSU fans. They had huge players.....remember the two studs they had. We watched batting practice and just about any ball they hit went out of the park. The fans were all over us thinking they were going to beat us up.....and I was afraid they were.....and then Mr Laxton took the mound.
Nobody saying its ok to keep bumping the game back hours is not sitting out in the hot sun and waiting for updates.....which never come. Everyone has weather radar on their phones these days and can see what the weather is really doing. This afternoon there was no rain anywhere around BR or moving in our direction. The sun was shining brightly when the last announcement came at 5:30 that the game was delayed again.....and I would say to a lot of booing. Most folks leaving said that they were not going back.....we are not.

BTW.....
In the NCAA baseball regionals, the decision to start a game is primarily made by the NCAA Regional Tournament Director in consultation with the umpire crew chief, the host institution’s athletics administration, and sometimes the NCAA game management committee.

There is a plaque where the old Yankee Stadium was located in the new stadium parking lot.

There is a plaque where the home plate was and also a marker where Harmon Killebrew hit a home run in the Mall of America in Minneapolis.

Makes you feel old.....we lived across the street from him in Deer Park when his son was born. We gave them a Cajun blanket for the baby.....Andy was born in BR.....dont think his wife appreciated it.

Another expected brain fart for Johnson
In the days back in the ole Box, we were at a night game with fairly nice weather. Bianco was coaching at third base when out of the blue a lightning bolt struck a tower near the Married Student Housing complex. He streaked to the dugout and literally dove in......funniest thing I ever saw at the Box.
I was there as a member of the Coaches Committee ground crew. I remember Koerner made the third out....I thought he had also made the first out We were in the ground crew pen waiting to go work the field after the game ended.....and it went on and on. I had a friend that worked with me at Dow that was a GT grad, and he was sitting in the seats behind home plate. I ragged him after about the 10th run. Most enjoyable game I ever saw, and we made it to 5 CWS wins.

re: LSU baseball: Where are they now?

I just messaged that Chris lives in Houston.....missed the other messages that he moved back. We have not seen him for over a year since his former home was destroyed by a fire and we have not seen the family for over a year.....they are in the process of moving into the rebuilt house. Great to hear he is back in BR.
Chris lives in Houston and works for Shell. He grew up down the street from our house. Unfortunately the home was destroyed in a fire a year ago....was rebuilt and parents are in the process of moving back in. Chris is one of the nicest players we ever met. He came home for Christmas a year ago and saw our grandson practicing in the front yard and he walked over to throw batting practice for an hour. He has a great family.....wife and young son who hopefully grows up as nice as he is.
