SBC Tourney Final: Louisiana 6, Texas State 1

I am not trying to argue, I am just saying the rule is you can not throw the bat, he threw it into the field of play. He should have been reprimanded.

Not as close to the foul line as you think, it is in the middle of play still in the dirt in front of the plate.

can you cite the rule?

can you cite the rule?

Batter throws his bat intentionally or unintentionally.
If the batter unintentionally throws his bat and it interferes with the fielders, interference is called and the batter is out. If the batter throws his bat intentionally, the batter will be ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct.

From the actual NCAA rule book (pg 56-57)

Unsportsmanlike Conduct
SECTION 17. Game personnel shall not use language that will, in any
manner, refer to or reflect negatively upon opposing players, coaches, umpires
or spectators. Any orchestrated activities by any player or dugout personnel
designed to distract, intimidate or disconcert the opposing team or reflect poor
sportsmanship shall not be allowed. This includes activities such as:
- Negative comments directed at an opponent, umpire or spectator.
- Bench jockeying.
- Bat flips near or toward an opponent or umpire.
- Use of props or signs directed at an opponent or umpiring decision.
PENALTY—The umpire shall warn the offending individual and the coach one
time. If the unsportsmanlike conduct continues after the warning, the
offender shall be ejected. If the unsportsmanlike conduct continues
after the first ejection, the head coach shall be ejected along with any
other offending personnel.

Exactly what happened when the umpire talked to the Troy coach after the incident.

Here are two of the still frames of him throwing the bat back into the field of play. If you want to watch it in real time you can go to espn.com and watch the replay at 3:08 marker

OMG, shoot the poor bastard for God's sake. Is this really a discussion ? Back in the day [Pre-wussification], nothing was said. You just better have your dancing shoes on next time you stepped in the box.

Yea I don’t think an ejection would have been warranted. That’s something that makes baseball different, there’s no in between there. Either no penalty or ejection.

Im not sure when people will realize what rules are for and respect for the game. Somewhere the line has to be drawn. Alot of the ____ these kids do nowdays is uncalled for. Thats why we are in the “look at me” era. It aint about u. Its about the team. Nothing wrong with celebrating within reason. But alot of this stuff is excessive. Be humble and play the game hard

I am shocked that USM is starting Tanner Hall for Game 1 vs JMU, who played yesterday. I thought they would have saved him for tomorrow, but I guess their thought is they can bring him back if needed later if he starts day 1.

Starting Hall is a no brainer if you want him to be available on Sunday.

Besides…JMU doesn’t suck.

My thought was win today and save bullpen while having him for championship Sunday.
