It’s part of the game now. Most baseball purists hate stuff like this. Doesn’t matter to me. Some can be excessive.

It’s disrespectful. From what I understand both teams were jawing at each other but when we are just as much as in the wrong I cant condemn the other team. Throwing the bat at the opposite dugout is completely weird as well. If the coach was smart he’d put that bat iin the dugout since it was apparently a gift by the player

Last night wasn’t excessive by the player. The bat landed about 4 feet from the hitter and bounced and rolled over toward the dugout.

Any bat flip is gonna be considered excessive by some. But that flip was par for the course in todays game.

it was a spectacular bat flip. Beam our next batter or the one who flipped the bat and move on.

The fact that baseball is okay with kids acting like punks doesn’t mean last night wasn’t excessive. If I was coach my team would be running 25 second foul poles until they drop

Yeah. It doesn’t take a purist to say that BS needs to get the frick out of the game.

Vitello is a gigantic douchebag, so much that Thompson probably hates him as well which says alot. Also that Serraneau dude on the SEC Rant really gets under my skin. Its bad for my health.

It's better that you stay on the coach doing right arm curls. You wouldn't be worth a damn as a coach.

Corch, agree completely. Vitello was butthurt. Not a fan of batt flips, swords, etc but it is being celebrated on platforms. Who knows if pierce was doing out of jubilee or in retaliation.

I never hit one like that to have the luxury of knowing it was gone

Agree. Also, their outfield dimensions are high school-ish. Its 360 to the gaps there (Plainsman is 385 IIRC) and under 400 in center. 315-320 along the lines. I could hit jacks there. UT has good pitching though. If they get to Omaha all these bombs they're hitting are going to die in left-center and right-center.

Down 3-1 in the 5th. Need to get some folk on base to put a little pressure on their defense.

3-2 now. Looks like Gonzalez has settled in. His freaking pitch count is amazing. So efficient.

Yes 3-2 now and Gonzalez is doing his thing. What’s nice about the sinker is it gets more movement as you get a little fatigued
