Savage Husker Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 When/where was the 1st incident that Bland is referring to? The “protection” reasoning is bunk or he would’ve been out there in the top half playing SS before pinch-hitting him next time his spot comes up. That was an immediate benching. Just own that. Twice I’ve been thrown at and twice I knew it was coming, both times my coach prepped me for it, he didn’t pull me for my “protection” or to avoid a fight. I’d rather he just say it was benching rather than this excuse making. Quote Link to comment

This was for sure a backtrack after looking silly on multiple outlets for not allowing a college kid to have fun. Also for anyone watching those games, that was the last bit of energy we really showed all weekend, the effort was butt after that homer (sans Hohensee). Quote Link to comment

I’m not a fan of staring down homers and I’m whatever about bat flips, unless they’re egregious like Joey Bats a couple postseasons ago. I think their should have been a conversation and if there was already a warning, then I understand the benching. Saying it’s for protection is a PR spin when he could have just reiterated his response from Friday (choosing not to comment and leaving it at “the conversation is between us”) or expanded on it being about prior conversations.

SouthLincoln Husker Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I said before that the team was going through the motions. DE is a tyrant and not letting the kids have fun. Time to move on. Quote Link to comment
