My comment about "goo" is that when you are standing in the coach's box, you don't know what is on the hat. I have agreed that the umpires checked the hat and found no illegal substance.
The crowd can boo all they want. The player jawing with the opponent's coach (if that is who he was talking to) was unnecessary. He lost his focus and had to be pulled from the game.

Also, while what Riser did is perfectly legal if he thought there wouldnt be backlash for calling someone a cheater than he's living in a fantasyland. Reynolds response was completely justified.

Disagree. Plus he was being jawed at from the players in SLU bench.

He probably did. And it probably increased Reynolds likelihood of walking the guy by about 10%. It's not like he's a model of consistency under normal conditions.

But even Russian's BFF Paul Mainieri thought Reynolds lost his composure
RR was just falsely accused of cheating (and you continue to falsely accuse him of cheating by repeating your "goo spot" claim) and he reacted. He walked the next batter and as Mainieri said in his post-game interview he felt like it was best to take RR out because he was too emotional after being called a cheater.
quote:Yes. He directed his first outburst towards Riser who was coaching third base and who asked the umpire to check the hat.
Was Reynolds speaking to the other coach?
quote:Yes. After Reynolds spoke his mind towards Riser, #35, Trenon Trosclair, a player in the dugout, yelled something at Reynolds.
Was he responding to the SELU players in the dugout?
That's when Reynolds yelled "frick you, too" towards the dugout.
Maybe if you'd actually attend games rather than listening on the radio you'd know what's going on. If you did, you could even boo the LSU players and coaches in person rather than doing it on a message board.

quote:Most coaches when they see an old hat with a brown color on that spot, know it's just dirt, especially when the discoloring is on the top of the bill... why would a "cheater" put something so visible on there?
when you are standing in the coach's box, you don't know what is on the hat
And if you're going to use the "well he didn't KNOW" argument, does Riser check every pitcher's hat? It's not like he can KNOW what's under every single bill...

This is BS. Just one page earlier from you.

If you don't wear a 3 year old hat with goo on it don't get offended when the umps check your hat.
And several pages back.

You don't have to be a coach to know it's dirt.
Or even a ball player to get a dirt spot like that.

Obviously. Which is why I'm pointing out how apparent it should be to players and coaches.

Riser knew it was an old dirty hat. He had to. Unless he's just dumb.
I think he claimed that Reynolds kept "going to it".

You should realize how wrong you must be when you've got ell, bbap and me all siding with each other against you.

Speaking strictly from a fans point of view, it was bush league and it actually accomplished what riser wanted in the first place which was another pitcher.
I personally think Reynolds should have kept his mouth shut and just beaned the next batter. He walked any how.

Which is what exactly? It's not like he got Jared Poche out of the game. So he got Reynolds rattled and he had to come out. Anything but that!
He has the 3rd worst ERA on the team and 2nd worst BAA.

All this new technology we have now a days allowed me to search a thing called a "twitter app" and I saw a picture of Reynolds holding his hat.
quote:
RR was just falsely accused of cheating
Are you saying that no pitcher has ever doctored a baseball? Is the SELU coach wrong for having the umpire check his hat?
quote:
(and you continue to falsely accuse him of cheating by repeating your "goo spot" claim)
I am not accusing Reynolds of anything. There is a big spot on his hat. The umpires checked it and said it was fine. Never at any point have I said that Reynold's was guilty of doctoring the baseball.
quote:
Yes. After Reynolds spoke his mind towards Riser, #35, Trenon Trosclair, a player in the dugout, yelled something at Reynolds.
So it's nearly unanimously agreed in this thread that Reynolds had the right to mouth off to the SELU coach. Are the SELU players not allowed to back their coach up?

Oooh, you got me. I guess I should have skipped my own son's baseball game last night to attend the LSU game. That's what good dad's do, right?

I'm not defending Reynolds... I just can't see why anyone would "defend" Riser in this way.
If you want to say that he was trying to bother Reynolds, fine. It's not totally different than picking off 4 times in a row, walking slowly to the mound for a pitching change and waiting for the ump to come say something, etc. Baseball is so mental that there are things coaches and players do to make players on the other team lose focus, or even help their own players stay focused. This was obviously one of those tactics.

I don't think it has anything to do with "trying to rattle the other pitcher". I just think the coach noticed the "goo" on Reynolds hat and asked the umpires to check it. The coach is well within his rights to do that.
