Thread: From "Will they even make the conference tournament?" to West Division Champs

    Roug, in a perfect world, it stays in the locker room, but the reality is, these kids put their feelings on the internet. It's just the way things are now. Handy has the leader status in the clubhouse, and it wouldn't surprise me if he was cleared to put that out on twitter. The baseball team was bashed all year. I'm not arguing whether it was justified or not. I'm just pointing out, it happened.

    I disagree 100%.
    Young team, showed they could beat top 25 teams, got off to a really slow start and had to battle major injuries. Those things had to be taken into consideration. You also had to take into account just how bad App St was, and on talent alone, we were going to be middle of the pack.

    No doubt about young ppl and social media. I wouldn't think Robe approved, but he probably isn't telling Handy not to do that either.

    They were bashed but they had a lot of support too. For the fans that continued to support, they take it personally, which I don't think they should. Players have to believe in themselves and their teammates. If they don't, the lockeroom fractures. I would rather players fighting fans than fighting each other.

    As I mentioned in the other thread, it will all be love at the end of the season no matter where it ends. The truth is that this mid major baseball program gets a lot more support than others and I think the players realize that when the season ends and when it begins. In between things get testy.

    If you are one that said "Are they even going to make the conference tournament?” then this tweet is for you. If you are big enough to post it to RP, you should be big enough to take it when someone points it out. I see the guy standing up for his teammates. Geaux Handy

    Exactly. And to be honest, it fired me up. I want players with BLEEP you attitudes. Puts you back in the dugout for just a second when you read stuff like that.

    I was one of the fans that questioned whether or not our boys would be working the concessions or the field of play...I absolutely love this tweet! Throw that ____ right back into my face!

    I had doubts they would get over 25 wins. The bigger chip on their collective shoulder, the better. Good for them.

    It’s like Robe says, “they never let their perception become their reality” because let’s be honest, we were all scratching our heads and concerned earlier in the season. But the players fought through it and got themselves to this point of becoming the Western Division Champions and the #2 seed in the conference tournament. Now, they have the tough task of performing well next week and getting a spot in a regional. I have faith in them to get it done.

    Robe said last week he's proud of the way these guys have stuck together. This team has tremendous chemistry and they never let the locker room get fractured when things have gone bad. A lesser team couldn't have done that.

    This team didn’t win a series until April and had a team batting average of .100 and sitting in 9th place...I’d be much more impressed if handsome would have taunted the fans then. Congrats on winning the west, i.e. 5th place. We have seen a team not make our own tourney after going to the CWS the year before...not sure why a team coming off a non post season year and started the way they did is not capable of missing the tourney. It wasn’t some obsurd thought. Don’t think it shows fight, their “leader” is immature. Wonder how many teams would have the kind of fan support they had all year playing like that. Out of all the things he could have put out there he chose that...must have been working on that tweet all season long.
