Thought Texas State's barstool account getting mad at fans was hilarious. Probably an upset closet sip.

Any team can do the Ball 5 chant.

Section 203 is as good as the Monmouth Hawks BB bench. You can imitate if you want, but no baseball heckling will ever be as good as section 203 at Olsen field.

I'll never forget watching a 1st base coach totally flub a play because he was doing the hokey pokey in and out of the box and not paying attention on a Sunday afternoon.

I remember when the sip softball team tried to do a ball 5 chant against the Aggie softball team. No coordination and it just sounded like random yelling. Aggie yells require a bit more planning and preparation than other fan bases are actually aware of.

In 2015 I was deployed in Africa and becames friends with a guy who pitched for Penn State. He said the Raggies were on a whole new level. Also said he was glad he didn't have to pitch against us, said one of their pitchers got to Ball.8.......said it was awesome, but felt really.sorry for his teammate.

And we are very well-trained for it, too. People like to make fun of Yell Practice, but you know, it works.

I only played a little baseball growing up and never pitched…

But the Ball 5 chant has to be excruciating for a pitcher. You are already on an island on the field and if that chant is happening it's because you're struggling. The pitcher already knows he's struggling without chant but making it so painfully obvious again and again has got to be so demoralizing.

As a fan, I love it.

It's almost like we practice our yells. (ok, not ball 5, but we are damn good at it).

In 2021 or 2022, we were playing Georgia, and the stadium was pretty empty.

Section 203 was pretty light, so I was one of about 10 fans leading the ragging, not something I usually do.

I remember we were down by 1, bottom of the ninth, and pitcher loaded the bases, and had a full count.

I yelled really loudly to the pitcher. "One more ball. We only need one more! Please throw us one more!"

The pitcher made eye contact with me, glaring, threw a meatball to the SS (Coleman?), resulting in a walk off single to the fence.

Most I have contributed to a game as a fan.
