  • No Apologies Asked in FSU Baseball Managerial Tirades

    Today, there was an error made to the Florida State baseball scoreboard. None other than the manager and athletic director ranted about the call to wait one hour for a critical regional game to start in the midst of their plans.

    Since when did you have to apologize in baseball managerial tirades or Major League Baseball for that matter?

    We can take instances such as the famous ex-Seattle Mariners manager, Lou Piniella. No, I was not a fan for the way Ken Griffey Jr. went out because he did not approach the game much so like Piniella.

    If Piniella roughened Griffey a bit, he would have been one of the best throughout his time but unfortunately there are other managers such as Dusty Baker who sat with Griffey depressed for sometime until that released into a tirade.

    Tirades in baseball are not to be shelved. Take, Baker for example with numerous wins and a recent World Series win column with the Houston Astros.

    The managers should not be blamed for eyeing the umpire then confronting the face of the media afterward. This is not a sham of mediocrity of what stands in the way at the class level.

    Kevin O’Sullivan and Scott Stricklin should not be held accountable for their actions and rather the timing of the default situation.

  • Florida State Upset by Georgia Tech

    Florida State Upset by Georgia Tech

    Florida State was upset by Georgia Tech by a final score of 24-21 in Ireland on Saturday. DJ Uiagelelei ended the day with a superb stat line but spent most time throwing within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Last year’s FSU team was undefeated and started discussion of a possible spot in the playoff tournament. As it turns out, Keon Coleman, Jordan Travis, Trey Benson, and multiple others have left the program and it has been a rocky start for the Seminoles under coach Mike Norvell’s and a highest scoring offense from last year.

    As for Georgia Tech, they rammed together pretty decent drives, especially toward the end when Florida State answered with a drive of their own, and Georgia Tech responded with a game-winning drive to elicit the strength of its quarterback Haynes King meshed with the offensive line. It was a solid day for Georgia Tech as they now take advantage of a brand new conference race.
