re: I Was at the L.A. Protests. They’re Nothing Like What You’re Seeing on TV.

are they not showing us footage of these peaceful protests rather than the burning of a city?
Footage of 10k people calmly walking probably gets 1/10000 the clicks of a dozen people lighting a cop car on fire or looting an Apple Store
Sex/Violence/Fear sells in media, so that's what you are going to be fed.
Yes, bad shite is happening in LA and other places. Yes, those responsible need full prosecution. But it's also true that in those cities, the vast vast majority of people are as disconnected from it as we are in Louisiana

I'm pretty sure this word is going to be used millions of times over the next week on X every time more than a handful of people are seen together in a downtown
John Barron will repost every one of them

I never played, so if this is a completely stupid question I apologize
Is it really that hard to train and develop an upper level keeper? It’s not like there’s dozens of different skills needed for the job
Roughly 30 million 18-25 dudes in the US, we can’t find one to figure it out?

Not often both teams dogpile in the same game

Is this a converted little league park? Every run is just a casually stroked HR, anything in the air is at least going to the track

Doyle completely shut us down this year. We had some success against Root, so that seems the ever so slightly easier path

re: Dutton...Why’d he transfer?

He’s been shelled 3 of his last 4 starts, and his win in the regional wasn’t stellar
re: Little Rock is the same size as Baton Rouge

Are you under the impression college baseball teams are formed from open tryouts in the city's rec parks?
LSU has just a few more resources than Little Rock

Jays weekend plan didn’t account for Kade pitching like shite
re: Little Rock 0 @ LSU 7 Final
Posted by OldManRiver on 5/30/25 at 10:23 pm
So after 3-4 pages of bitching and back and forth, tunes out Jay didn’t make 5 pitching changes, or call any offensive TO, or do anything out of the ordinary at all

Top 3 or top 8, literally does not matter.
Eh, from a scheduling and home game standpoint that’s right, but no doubt the higher seed the slightly easier road to Omaha

There’s the out. He can drop this as a sound bite to get the base fired up and convinced things are happening. But when it just fizzles out, he can fall back on”I never said it was true, just that we were investigating”

Didn't they throw some dog shite left at us on Sunday and we couldn't hit him
6 hits/4 runs through 6
The reliever who blanked us the final 3 innings threw 2.1 high stress innings today, so I doubt we see him tomorrow, but they will be in desperation mode so who knows

A&M without Laviolette sounds like a winner
They also put Weston Moss into the game as well, who was the Sunday starter when we lost. So we wouldn't face any of the starters we did in the regular season series
re: UNC and Belicheck have a pretty easy schedule in 2025
Posted by OldManRiver on 5/21/25 at 7:33 pm
They were 6-6 last year with a similar dogshit schedule, and 2 of those losses they had the lead in the last 30 seconds of the game. If the D just made 1 extra stop in each game, they would have been 8-4 and Mack is still there.
re: High School/College Graduation Ceremony Attire

Was there. I’ve attended a few the last few years, and it’s getting worse.
The number of kids and the way they organize it doesn't help matters either. For those who don't know, Dutchtown has been the largest school in the state by enrollment the last few years. That should start to change now that Prairieville High is up and running, but for now the class sizes are rediculous. Last year's class was 615-620, and I heard this year was close
Couple that with the process, they have the kids walk in reverse GPA order all the way down to maybe a 2.0 or something, then switch to alpabetical. Thus, the kids that have expected to graduate since they were in Pre-K are walking 20 minutes into the ceremony, and the kids at the end that have the family and "culture" to break out the airhorns, pots/pans, etc. don't walk until hour 2 of sitting in 90 degree heat outdoors. It just creates mass chaos at the end
