LSU vs.FLORIDA GAME 2

Wit

Without involving names are we talking about the same LSU super fan that used to support his LSU playing little sis?

 

Little sister had an inspirational story about her and softy that I am I love that kinda thing.

 

Shame if I suddenly have to dislike that dude lol.

 

Not asking for a unanimous agreement but I don't know how you can really say otherwise. I thought our bats overall were significantly worse. Aside from Otis, did we have anyone who struck fear into LSU today? My answer is absolutely not. Their entire lineup was a threat to hit today. Hats off to them.

 

Hats off they won. They did enough to win barely. I just don’t agree with the omg they were so much better in all aspects part of the statement. That’s all.

 

You can still love Shemiah -- her story overcoming lupus is heartwarming -- but think her brother is a piece of work. While he was a big fan of the sister, many LSU fans say it was really all about him. He craves the attention, positions himself to be on television, won't sit down, etc.

It was either LSU or some opponent that required him to be seated at wind-up and continue to be seated until the catcher caught the ball. Can you imagine having season tickets behind him or even near him? I think he ruins the game for many fans.

That said, some people love his act and he gets off on signing autographs, etc. ESPN interviewed him once and he has a celebrity complex. Google his name and his picture is all over the internet -- he encourages every photo op and interview.

Back in the day when his sister played, some teammates found his antics distracting (especially one particular pitcher) and ask the sister to request that her brother tone it down, to no avail.

To the dude's credit, he got out of prison eight years or so ago and hasn't had his parole revoked. Like many convicts, he says he found God in the penitentiary.

 

Everybody is a genius after the fact

 

As Sandman. Scrappy and 8 other people will tell you, when Guiterez came up I jumped up and sailealk her now. Even her outs were well hit balls. Especially with the way over hyped 5 star batting .250 up next. Easy choice who we should have faced. Not CTW best coaching job today. I will be there tomorrow rooting on the Gators. Oh by the way I also said bad choice removing Ava as her best 2 innings were 5 and 6 where she retired the side in order plus 3 pitching appearances by Keegan in 4 days is bad. She threw tired as her speed was 5 to7 mph slower and her ball had little movement.

 

On the great side, we all went to Gymnastics afterwards and watched one of our best ever performances. If we get 2 more like that. Jenny will finally win her first Natty!

 

Yea she didn't look as sharp as normal imo. I wanted to roll with Ava but I mean I get the reason for the switch with the amount of pitches she had thrown. Hindsight 20/20 but I think Keagen may need some rest. Curious to see how they play once finals are over and everything is only about softball.

 

The benefit of hindsight

 

I've told you this before, but it has been a while.
In 2019, @sandman70 and I went to Columbus, GA to the World Congress of Softball.
We sat on the front row, right behind the plate.
DeAngelo came behind us and started doing his schtick. After an inning, a lady said we all had to move. We were not happy but had no choice.
It turns out that ESPN did not want him on camera for every pitch. So, instead of singling him out, they made us all move.
I do not see how his past is related to his act. He paid his penalty and has been a good citizen since.
I have met him a few times, and he is always nice. And he never puts the opponent's players down.
On the 2019 U19 team were Julia Cottrill, Charla Echols, Rylee Trlicek, and Skylar Wallace.
Others of note: Taylor Pleasants, Kelly Lynch, and Bailey Dowling.
Skylar played 2B, and Dowling played SS.
Dowling was a high-ranked recruit who was to be the next SS for Alabama.
I cannot say for sure what went on at Alabama, but suffice it to say Sky transferred and sat out the 2020 season.
Unfortunately Dowling tore her ACL that year.
The U19 team won the World Cup.

Team USA won the World Cup that year, and Aubree, Michele, Kirsti, and Kelsey were on that team.

 

One of us becomes a super genius after the fact.

 

Ball, Ball, Ball is all I heard and he was 6' from my right ear.

Now the one I hated was "Adios, Adios, it's back to the dugout you goes" when one of our players struck out.

I was not there last night but my wife put him in his place.

After the victory - she calmly looked at him in the eyes and said:

"ADIOS, ADIOS, IT'S OFF TO THE BUS YOU GOES"

She tells me that he bowed his head and said - I guess I deserved that.
