I've been noticing this in the Gen Z demographic. Sportsmanship is changing with the times, and unfortunately some of our fans will get left behind to bitch into the void of the internet (surly). You watch basketball and see how acceptable it is now, everybody has a "signature" celebration now. There are no more enforcers, it's just accepted. Older baseball fans will talk about beaning people the next time up like when they played Little League in the 80s, but these kids don't give half a shit as much as the fans, they just want to talk shit when it's their turn. Those days of retribution outside of the playing field/court are fading fast.

I still think we should bean people. On purpose I mean. We do it enough on accident already.

Pretty sure Tennessee was the team that had a player hit a home run and after rounding first he flipped off either the second baseman or the right fielder. What Jonah did was like a 3 out of 10 on a scale of nothing happened to very bad. And our coach still went out to intervene and calm him down. Who gives a fuck what other the other fan bases think. 

Its the SEC. SEC fans thought it was uppity, because, you know...

I couldn't give two shits about what Florida fans think.

Why would ya? But I’m pretty sure the Fox News and Reddit posters were not mostly gators.

Jonah’s attempts to get the crowd and his teammates fired up was not something I have a real problem with.   Sure, I would’ve preferred to see a brushback pitch after - just because that’s enjoyable old school baseball to me.   But good grief, he’s young - and I think the entire experience will turn out to be a good lesson.    

At least he had a good sense to do it at home.   If he’d made his error at the wall the next game after Stare-O-Rama and it was in Gainesville, that would not have been as fun. For him.  That would’ve been a crowd pleaser.

All both programs need getting ready for the tourney is healthier pitching staffs.  A team of average meatheads with two starting aces and a wicked closer is all you need to make a decent run.  And don’t worry, y’all are gonna be regular season champions..Why? because the Aggies will hate that….And God hates Aggies.

You can't get ejected from a game as the penalty is no longer just that game, it's the next game too... It has to stop.

Just did the math for the weekend:

Friday- watched first pitch in 37 of 39 plate appearances, strike percentage on those takes: 72%

Saturday- watched first pitch on 28 of 36 plate appearances, strike percentage on those takes: 50%

Sunday- watched first pitch in 33 of 38 plate appearances, strike percentage on those takes: 42%

@NBHorn7 this is how it works

Also we had to stop playing ASU back in the day because of animosity between the teams, I believe it upset Gus and Brock back then because they were friends outside of baseball.

Is there any pushback on your dipshit 1st baseman?  The one that not so subtly got in Williams face but then also did the Horns HR celebration/acknowledgment to LF.  Congrats to Mr. Notgonnawintheconference.

Well, we have 40 real wins this year.

And playing the worst ball of the year in May. You're such an expert, seems like you would understand the trouble there. Oh well, I guess.

With annoying frequency.

Seriously, have we already set a team record for HBPs by our staff this year?

I think it really started with mid to young Millennials and Gen Z took it up a notch. For baseball in particular, the players started to differentiate between what is meant to be a celebration versus something that is actually meant to disparage the opposing team.

I think I saw a graphic that said our pitching staff is either 2nd in the nation or 2nd in conference for hit batsmen

I don’t think the interwebs went after him. So I guess not.  

Why on earth should he not have gotten in Williams’s face after that display? If one of our batters had acted like Jonah and your first baseman not had a word to say about it, I would have less respect for your guy.   

There’s nothing wrong being confident, nor is it a sin to be a little chippy in the heat of the contest.  Jonah now knows to tone it down a bit that’s all.  And it had to be the least important event in the whole three game series.   Good luck this week.

It could be 2nd in conference. We are nowhere close to leading the nation, weirdly.

His actions were in two different games.  He could have subtly said something to the barely out of high school freshman.  There was a tad “look at me” in his actions.  But that’s fine.  Had he ended it there.

But the next day after his homer, he mocked the crowd and the Horns in rounding 2nd base.  I’m not sure there was necessarily anything intense in the moment that he was responding to at the time.

All this from a 3rd year player.  On a team that trails by what 7 games.

Ebbs and flows. Hitting is contagious. We just need a couple of our dudes to get hot this weekend or in the SEC tourney, not just hit a random homer, but consistently get the fuck on base. Everyone hits better with people on base

do gators not have a baseball fan site for gator fans to comment?

They do. But ten years or so ago a bunch of posters on Shaggy told me it would annoy you off if a gator posted on the Texas board, and to come over. 

I really have no idea what they have against you. You seem nice.

I’m pretty sure he’s been here much longer than you have. He also helps fund this site, something it appears you do not.

Havent seen this discussed on here but apparently the entire Texas team was sick before the series on Friday and Riojas and many others were running 100+ fevers all weekend. Apparently that played into Jonah's cramps too. And apparently we were so sick that we were getting the Florida player's sick too.

Yep. It was second in the SEC.
