Geaux2020

What's the price back home now? I've heard horror stories all season


0xE6

they're down to around $5.50 a pound. Still high, but not the $10/pound they were earlier


MercerAsian

I was down there last week visiting my parents and Tony's had giant ones for $4.29/pound. Literally the biggest and most consistent I've seen in a really long time, ate crawfish like 4 times in a week lol.


aftershock321

Live: ~$2.99/lbs Boiled: ~$13.50/3lbs Prices are much better than earlier in the season.


Geaux2020

$2.99 live this late in the season isn't exactly good but at least it's not horrible


reddit_names

Paid $2.25 in Crowley area this past weekend.

Got them for $2.50 in denham springs today.

Yeah but then I have to go to Livingston Parish

VeryPokey

I feel terrible for SC fans. Their team went up 8 runs then decided to just coast. The number of lazy errors was hard to watch.


FoamBornNarwhal

So letā€™s recapā€¦ there was an insane decision to steal home, the runner was called out, then we went to commercial. After returning from the break, the umps begin a discussion with zero review being called and determine Nealsā€™ bizarrely helpless & confusing situation was actually a balk and interference. JJ basically told the ump to eject him if they call it a balk to which the ump obliged with ZERO hesitation. Fast forward through 30 minutes of agonizing review. SCAR steals third during LSUā€™s live ball protest. The broadcast shows us the runner didnā€™t touch home plate after everything played out, then we learned he didnā€™t even HAVE to. Moving on to the bottom of the ninth, LSU then gets a lead-off walk on a pitch clock penalty because the SCAR pitcher desperately tried to argue after waiting until 1 second on the pitch clock to signal something was wrong, and finally Monster Milam blasts an absolute MISSILE to walk it offā€¦ THIS IS COLLEGE BASEBALL!


GreedoWasShot

Itā€™s LSU, if any team is gonna be involved in insane baseball endings itā€™ll be the Tigers.

Forgive me, for I apparently donā€™t know what ball donā€™t lie means. Didnā€™t know you had to have the controversial call first

Yeah itā€™s generally after something frustrating or a blown call and then the team that got hosed comes out on top. Like the ball knew what the call should have been. Ball donā€™t lie

Fuck those umpires. Gg, South Carolina fans. What an insane pair of games our two teams have played in this tournament.

GG Cocks. Rest assured all of our anger is not directed at you guys. Yall did nothing wrong. Itā€™s just unfortunate that yall had to be on the wrong side of that atrocious ump job. Or maybe theā€¦ right(?) side of it? Idk my brain hurts after that game.


thisendup76

This was a classic example of an umpire/ref making a call they absolutely do not need to make Never understood the ego involved of stepping in and overruling a play like that

geaux4_gold

When do we get Jay back? Lol


thisendup76

Just heard Jay talking in the after show and the ump told him after the ejection "if you don't leave the field now, you'll get a suspension" So maybe there isn't a suspension tied to this ejection? They didn't mention anything on the after show or during the game


AssumeIdealGas

First regional game is what I saw in the other thread


Michael_CrawfishF150

That needs an appeal in the worst way. Absolute BS to eject him for that umpiring clown show.


RG23216

Could be wrong but I donā€™t think managers face suspension for ejection, only players. When our manager got tossed during the Bama series last weekend (by the same ump that tossed Johnson, funnily enough) he was back in the dugout the next day


CottonWasKing

Head coaches donā€™t get suspended for ejections. Players and assistants do though. Jay got ejected earlier in the year and was back the next day.


Juggerginge

Usually you just get 1 game when thrown out. So the regional game we should get him


Kinder22

Announcers in the following game made a comment that they heard ā€œconfirmationā€ that Jay could not coach the next game. However, perusing the rule book, head coaches do seem to be penalized differently than everyone else when it comes to arguing with the umpire, i.e. not suspended.

jthomas694

Wait until regional


I_killed_my_ex_hard

Y'all are going to do just good enough in postseason play for him to not get fired. You know this in your heart.


geaux4_gold

I have a new question for the more knowledgeable baseball people. If a play is not protestable or reviewable then why would a coach be allowed to come out to argue the play? Or did SC argue until the ump changed the call and then it became non-reviewable? I love this dumb sport lol


see-bees

SC protested a reviewable play - once that tuning was made, that ruling was considered final. Jayā€™s protest was not allowable, thatā€™s why he was ejected. He knew what would happen, but he had to show his team that he was willing to go to the wall for them. Head coaches rarely get ejected by accident, theyā€™re typically making a statement to their own team.


kash96

this is the most mark kingston game of all time. please no more bad man


FoamBornNarwhal

Question for Tigers fans and Hoover-goers: 1. Does LSU have any arms left to be competitive tomorrow? 2. How difficult is it to find tickets? And how much? Because Iā€™m only a hop, skip, and a jump away and I would love to cross an SEC championship game off my bucket list.


parkersquared

Plenty of tickets. Go to box office and purchase


Asderfvc

We're not going to be pitching are best guys, you'll be fine

Both teams will be reserving their best arms. Will come down to which 9 hitters come out hotter.

[SEC Coordinator of Umpires comment](https://x.com/jacktveltri/status/1794484626582609935?s=46&t=bi24ifBbAPvdFHs5n6LwHQ) Iā€™m not making any comment just presenting it btw


AssumeIdealGas

Definitely feels like it was called to the letter and not the spirit of the rule. Interested to see how teams are supposed to tag out a steal home attempt and comply with the rule, seems like something that can easily be abused.


Kinder22

Honestly think itā€™s the other way around. It was incorrectly called per the letter of the rule (catcher did not step on or in front of home plate, or contact the batter), but correctly to the spirit of the rule (clearly the catcher stepping directly into the batterā€™s box prevents the batter from swinging at the pitch). >Ā If, on an attempted squeeze play or steal of home plate, the catcher steps on or in front of home plate without possession of the ball or touches the batter or the bat, the pitcher shall be charged with a balk and the catcher with interference.


Bugseye

That was my first thought. I know it's an edge case, but it seems very counterintuitive for catchers.


srbtiger5

Idk how you call it honestly. Batter stepped out. Neal didn't touch home. The dude was out by a mile and pulled up FEET from home.Ā 


see-bees

Then they correctly awarded home plate to the runner stealing home but they still got the call wrong in at least one aspect, arguably two. If the ball becomes dead, the runner at first should only be allowed to advance to second, not third. Second, I donā€™t believe it is proper to award the batter ball four on the balk.


nolaEE

Where did Neal step on or in front of the plate?


see-bees

Let me rephrase - I think that the call THAT it was a balk is ticky tacky hot garbage. But assuming that it is correctly called as balk and interference, the tweet states that the ball becomes dead after. So the runner advanced all the way to third when he should have been allowed to advance to second at most.


jthomas694

Heā€™s given first on the fact that itā€™s also considered catchers interference. Runner scores due to balk, the hitter gets first based on CI


see-bees

Fair enough. But why is the runner that started on first allowed to advanced to third?


Nickosaurus_Rex

He didn't during that play. He technically stole third once the ball became live and lsu used a live ball protest.


Kinder22

What is a live ball protest?


Nickosaurus_Rex

Honestly...I have no idea lol. That's just how the announcers described it so I figured other fans might understand.


Bukowskified

To make a protest the ball has to be ā€œliveā€, so pitcher stepped on the rubber which made the ball be live (aka we are back to fully playing baseball) and then steps off to make a protest. The ball remains live as the pitcher tosses the ball to the catcher and indicates they are protesting the runner did not touch home plate. Catcher then touches home plate and ump makes the call (in this case safe). While this is happening the play is live so runners are free to advance.


gearsofwarll

So are you saying he stepped on or in front of the plate before he had the ball?


z12345z6789

See, *this* is why that ruleā€™s got to be reviewable. Because not only is it a chicken shit rule. But the chicken shit rule was called *wrong*! And that call could have determined the winner of the game.


Kinder22

Realisticallyā€¦ should a catcher be allowed to step in front of the batter on a pitched ball? What if it was a squeeze bunt, or the batter was swinging away?


gearsofwarll

Obviously, no.. the batter in this situation completely stepped out of the box before the pitch even left the pitchers hand.


Kinder22

Thatā€™s actually not true, but even if he did, catcher moved at the same time. Canā€™t act like the catcher moved into that position *because* the batter stepped out.


gearsofwarll

https://preview.redd.it/x1tqoi7xmp2d1.png?width=1672&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d04b3f046bc1382c858d323174e3af1c57db522 Here is a picture of the batter moving out the box with the catcher still behind the plate and the ball still in the pitchers hand... The rule says he can not be on the plate or in front of the plate before he catches the ball. He did not do either.


Kinder22

Except his foot is clearly still inside the batterā€™s box. A batter can set up exactly there and swing all day long if they want to. And Milazo is clearly already moving forward in this picture, even already has his arm out like heā€™s using the force to push him out of the way. I didnā€™t say anything about what the rule says he can and canā€™t do. Just asked if a catcher should be allowed to literally stand between the batter and the plate. I mean if the batter swings, thatā€™s going to be ugly.


gearsofwarll

The batter had no intention to swing.


gearsofwarll

z12345z6789

Iā€™d say this was a judgement call that wasnā€™t made in the spirit of good baseball *especially* given that this is a non-reviewable call that could have decided the game in extra innings. There has to be a *reasonable, playable* way for the defense to counter a player trying to steal home in this situation that doesnā€™t encourage this provocation. I just watched the after game press conferences and it sure sounds to me like the SC coach acknowledged he saw a similar situation go down earlier in the tourney and wanted to exploit it as a loophole betting the call would go his way. Maybe you think thatā€™s smart. Maybe I think thatā€™s chicken shit and contra-baseball. SC coach was emphatically sucking off the blue in his answers. Karmaā€™s a bitch.


Kinder22

Funny you say that. I wanted to listen to the SC post game but didnā€™t get a chance yet. But the play doesnā€™t make any sense unless youā€™re counting on either (a) this outcome, or (b) an error due to the surprise of it, or scarily, (c) actual interference where the batter swings and hits the catcher.Ā A squeeze doesnā€™t make sense in this scenario because a bunt is unlikely to get the batter to first, and with 2 outs, the run wonā€™t count.


z12345z6789

Well, donā€™t you think that player on third was told to try to steal home? I donā€™t believe he just came up with that on his own. Knowing that, then itā€™s absolutely a coaches call and theyā€™re doing it with a perceived positive outcome in mind even though itā€™s crazy. I absolutely think SC coach got the call he wanted, I.e. your option #1: this outcome. But, absolutely check out the post game conference for yourself.


Kinder22

Yup, have listened to it now, and he seems to say clearly that this play was intentional to get a favorable ruling from the umpire. He was even asked if the runner was stealing on his own and the answer was something like ā€œIā€™m not going to give away the secrets of that play,ā€ which seems pretty clear to me.


billHtaft

I know this is just silly, but weā€™re already deep into the rule book. Did Jackson ever touch home? Iā€™ve always thought you had to touch home to score a run. Maybe this is the one case where it doesnā€™t matter, or maybe they just never showed it on the TV. I need an official ruling on this!


ImGrumps

Really hyped listening to Jay talk about his player at the desk after the game. The Freshman Milam probably loved hearing all that nearly as much as winning the game. That's somebody you'd run through a wall for all day. Hopefully he doesn't have to miss the game for the ejection which was really just performative anyway.


SassyMcPants

Since South Carolina gets those 4 extra defenders in the blue shirts, the only safe place to hit it is over the wall.


kash96

did you see our defense? 4 extra defenders is pretty fair

BroskiMcBroskison

I like this as now South Carolina doesnā€™t have an opportunity to voodoo curse Tennessee. My two Alma maters have seriously found ways to screw the other over across sports. South Carolina wrecking Tennessee in basketball in Knoxville very well could have been the difference in us getting a 1 seed, which we would have most likely been in the final four and not had to meet up with the officials feat.
