Pitchers chirping, bats flipping, but nobody wants to defend their teammates. All talk and no walk. My travel ball team cleared the benches for less. What happened to the game I love?

Dude deserves his nose broken, but it’s not worth anyone getting suspended when we’re already thin.

Pick 2. It can’t be all 3.

LSU does the same thing. All college baseball does. These kids grew up playing travel ball and it shows

Whats the point in clearing benches? Honestly...it accomplishes NOTHING, and possibly gets some of your players hurt or suspended. Nothing like a bunch of retards going after each other for no reason, smh

You still see it in MLB…because who cares about getting suspended for a few games when you play 162. College doesn’t have that luxury. Most of these guys don’t have pro ball to fall back on. Why would you want to be suspended for important games?

Coastal Carolina coach decided to swing his dick around in the finals last year and focused more on “standing up for himself” against the ump than winning the ballgame. And all it did was get him run out of the game and left his players high and dry without a leader, in a must-win game where they were facing adversity that they hadn’t faced in two months.

Maybe Yorke could do something in your scenario.

I wish they would frick with Stanny and chirp him just one time.

Dude wouldn’t even flinch.

Zero facial expression while he whoops that arse

He smoked one last night on them, probably after they chirped his two consecutive catches as the Sun went down and the lights of the stadium were turned on.

That second catch was ridiculous.

Clearing the benches would only encourage more antics. The only real deterrent would be the threat of a ball in your ribs or a fist on your chin, and the schools would probably expel a kid if he tried that.

Or go the super soft route and start ejecting players for some of this stuff, which I don’t think anyone wants

Umps let all that talking shite happen instead of giving warnings. Players don’t respect the game by all of the showboating. Just walk off the mound or take your base without all the bullshite.

Society full of pu$$ies.

That’s why we have the two bags at first.
No more taking out guys on double plays.
Targeting calls in football.

Soft people make soft rules.

The best way to shut them up is to take the pitcher yard and strike the batter out. It’s that simple. If you can’t do that then you have to let them talk. Maybe those kids are grown up enough to not let some other kid talking shite bother them.

It’s been said many times. It’s easy to be a bitch and run your mouth and call opponents names when you don’t have to bat. That skinny little girl would have a 98 mph seed in the ribs if he had an ab after his FIRST pop off.
