The Sarge

I don't think that Roth was thinking so far ahead as to try to rally the team. He is a competitor, and was frustrated at that point. From what I have heard, Koumas was frustrated for getting pulled, and the frustration between him and Roth was like static electricity, and it just arced out between them. Holbrook had to get in between the two for a second, but I doubt they would have fought.

Roth, BTW, is a good hitter. If he does not make it as a pitcher, do ya'll think he could make it as a 1st bagger and hitter? He is an athlete, there is no doubt about that.

Well your info is bad because Koumas didn't have anything to do with it.

No. He's not an every day college level hitter in my opinion and not a pro as a position player.

I doubt there is a story to tell. It happens in every locker room, every sideline, every dugout. It gets intense and emotions run high sometimes.

I disagree with some of the guys on this board that I hang out with at games. But it only lasts about 15 seconds and we move on to the next play.

I'm pretty sure they were all high fiving and laughing with each other after the game.

I could see it going one of two ways if it happened at Carolina Stadium -- First of all, everyone would have noticed it so...

1) Everyone would have realized it wasn't a big deal and it wouldn't have been brought up, but more than just Andy would have mentioned it at the time.

2) Everyone would have seen it and thought it was a big deal and there would be a half dozen stories written about it with lots of folks asked for on-the-record comments.

Andy was just doing his job. Since the game wasn't on TV and no one really saw it, then it has prompted a lot of questions, and I can understand that. That being said, everything I've been told (and to reiterate, I wasn't there) was it was a minor thing. I don't think anyone has really done anything wrong, it's probably just something that doesn't need to be rehashed over and over again.

For the record, that sounds like a Three Stooges routine. Maybe they'll start doing one of those instead of a back flip. That'd provide some new entertainment!

"Win Anyway"

Guys can we just drop it? Why make something out of nothing? Team morale and cohesiveness has never seemed higher. I understand the inquisitiveness but now that we've all got the story, or lack thereof, can we just focus on the great weekend and our standing in the conference/nation?

This happens all the time. Athletes are competitors, competitors are aggressive, aggressiveness leads to confrontation. Therefore, athletes are very used to confrontation and move on quickly afterward. I suggest us fans do the same.

What goes on in the dugout is NONE of our business. It is a team issue and should stay that way.

What happens in Vegas, stays in the Gamecock dugout.
