I don't know anything about this, but as one of the best players in my entire little league, I got invited to move up a level a year early. I strutted out there with my new team for my first practice with them and proceeded to manage two infield fly balls and one really late grounder foul into the first base dugout after flailing at approximately 25-30 pitches. I then, confidence completely decimated, got my chance at short-stop and proceeded to screw up everything that came my way, and I rarely if ever made an error until that evening. I lasted one game and knew I was in way the heck over my head. I returned to my previous league and team, but I lost the edge I had always played with and was never the same on the diamond again. I focused on other sports, because my skills up until that point did not translate to the next level. Maybe it only took 30 swings in the cage to realize that the kid's skills did not translate to the college level. I'm suspect Deon would tweet nothing different had the kid whiffed on 25 straight lollipops from the pitching coach, so it's difficult for me to get too bent over this. That said, I have lost any confidence in our current staff, and it is entirely possible that they just screwed the pooch in a big way. Time will tell.
“I can’t wait ‘till I’m grown” is the stupidest @!#* I ever said!
I see there's still alot of anger left over from Bourbon Street.
30 pitches is generous. Most walk ins don’t get more than 10.
Magic Johnson's sister, Evelyn "Sweet E" Johnson, played for the Gamecocks when I was there...we'd go to watch the women's game and leave before Jimmy "take the car to Australia" Foster and the boys hit the floor...
There was a game when the visitors where fouling the heck out of Sweet E and jeering at her. When she lined up for the free-throw she stared at their bench and hit the shot without looking at the bucket. The crowd went wild. Life was more simple before the Clemson dynasty...

To be in the heyday of their beloved school they are an angry bunch. If the tables were turned I wouldn't acknowledge a Clempson fan.
Baseballs not even a sport anyway until Clemson has a NATTY in it so who cares
You’re absolutely right. On the same trail, BOOM only wanted Shilo for the attention having prime times son would bring to the program. Play with fire you may get lit up. If Shilo was really worth a shit does anyone honestly think he’d have gone to UofSC?
Old man I used to work for always said know who you’re fuckin with cause you’ll be the one to deal with it.
