That was just plain great. The ball did have insane movement. Great location. Suck on that MSU.

Yeah, the deliberate two fingers to the palm of the glove is begging for the umps to go out to check. They should've checked on their own. The thing is...it's a great setup for actually having something in the glove. "Nah, we've checked him a dozen times and there's nothing there. No need to check again."

I remember going to a Twins game in Minneapolis back in 2011, and first time at the park I was taking in all the sights and ambience, when I noticed that the Twins were not doing too much at the plate. Then I noted "Verlander" on the back of the pitcher, and I suddenly realized it was not going to be a good day for the Twins at all. |

MSU Baseball is one of the trashiest programs out there. When our Arizona team played them at the 2016 Starkville Super Regional, they turned off the power at Dudy Noble Field in the middle of the 8th inning, hoping to ice starting pitcher Bobby Dalbec (now at 3B/1B with the Red Sox). It got a bit tumultuous when their then head coach John Cohen refused to continue play despite enough afternoon daylight being available. Arizona AD Greg Byrne, who had held a similar position at MSU before going to Tucson, went down onto the field in order to join the heated discussion between coaches, umpires and his personal friend, the new MSU AD.
After an interruption of 37 minutes the game concluded with Dalbec, who had kept warm in the bullpen, on the mound. He finished the day throwing 8.2 scoreless innings in front of 13,000 irate Bulldogs fans and Arizona won the game as well as the whole Super regional at the following day.
So I guess that things went well for us in the end. However, apparently MSU fans hurled a whole bunch of racist epithets specifically at our Hispanic players during and after the games. Basically the same odious behavior South Carolina supporters displayed during the 2012 CWS finals towards our Korean-born player Rob Refsnyder, whose parents needed police protection from hostile fans inside TD Ameritrade Park. And if I remember correctly, LSU fans called your player Steven Kwan an "egg roll" during the 2017 CWS.
While the SEC might be ESPN's favorite conference, I've grown tired of their racist lowbrow fans.

It's a very different world down there. Like stepping back in time. Lot's of ill will towards the "other side", which viewed from the outside seems totally illogical. The world will be a better place when that kind of attitude is actually frowned upon down there. If it ever is. My partner is from Birmingham, and she moved to Oregon in large part to escape the "attitudes" down there. Her folks are great people. Her dad has been nothing but fantastic to me. I happen to be white. I know my partner has had black friends with no issues with her parents. Still, some of the things that come out of his mouth just are jaw dropping. It's really weird, and just seems so out of place with what I know about his character. Just the way it is down there I suppose. After learning some of his history I understand that he actually IS evolving from, for instance, the way his father was. So maybe there is some hope for change down there. The arc of change is slow. I'm not counting on any major enlightenment from the South in my lifetime, but I try to lean against those kinds of attitudes in my own way. I think that's about all you can do. |
