Starts with video about the Ball 5 chant vs TCU in the supers. Then goes on to talk about general A&M stuff. Decent read.

Sort of odd that a lot of people mentioned the clapping for a strike after the Ball X chant was sarcastic, I never really thought of that as sarcastic or mocking really. I guess in the mess with your little brother way of mocking

For me, it was always an "oh, bless your heart. You finally got a strike!"

Never really mean, but totally sarcastic.

I always took it as genuinely giving the pitcher a hand. He's a young guy who worked his way our of a really bad/stressful situation. He throws a strike, cheer him on, he doesn't do it every time, obviously. (Which I guess is kind of sarcastic)

Wtf?

You guys did not realize that the cheer at the end was sarcasm? Seriously?

OK, nice thread but this is fantastic! Further down a guy says he's part of the "couch crew" at Abilene Christian where they go out, sit on their couches and "cheer" for the other team in a pee-wee dad kind of way. he gets this is response:

I played ball for a team in the ASC and I distinctly remember you guys giving me **** in left field.
One of the chicks was hammered and offered to toss my salad. I kept a straight face but we all lost it when we got back in the dugout.
Keep doing what you do.

I've always thought the clap for a strike was meant to be patronizing

Iirc, it's patronizing, sarcastic, and a little bit of relief. Finally our guys get a hitable pitch.
