If you sit along the outfield wall follow this plan

Bush League, but effective

Earlier in the season one of those cold nights (Rhode Island maybe) I sat in the OF and came up with a brilliant plan. If the OF is in a sprint back towards the wall for a ball, wait until the ball is 50 or so feet away from him and start yelling "Kid! Kid on the field!" But have like everyone around you join in. One initial shriek (Johnny!!!) and then everyone else join in(Watch out! Kid!). It's believeable if a crowd is yelling it out. We got our chance later in the game and I swear to God it worked. RF took his eye off the ball for a split second, got turned around, and the ball landed a few feet away.

Unsportsmanlike? Yes
Are we trying to win games and become a national seed? Yes

It will probably only work once a weekend so don't waste it on a can of corn. He can't be able to camp underneath a popup or get his whereabouts back.

Just passing this on.

Jeez didn't think everyone would hate on this...

Do yourself a favor and open a new account with a different user name. Then, I would suggest that you do a lot more reading, and a lot less posting.

Either way, carry on...

I do think it's different.

Faking a shot clock count is simply messing with the player's situational awareness. This stupid plan is to mess with the player's situational awareness by faking an emergency​.

What? Faking an emergency?

If you can 17 with the situational awareness of an outfielder resulting in his error without physically entering the field of play, offending everyone around you, or breaking the law, I'm all for it.

Even so, the baby thing would work, maximum, once, if that. It wouldn't be my go to plan to distract the OFer but I've got a real open mind in what shouldn't be allowed in the RF Lounge area, and I described them above.

Tell you the truth, I consider it more of an emergency if I were to drop my cell phone over the fence than for someone's toddler to be running around RCF. And I used to tell the RF that I dropped my cell phone all the time to see if he would turn around for that split second.

Statboy, go for it, broski. Drink beer and yell at opposing college baseball players all you want.

I miss living in Starkville during baseball season.

Hey bud...leave that crap at home. And speaking of crap, go find a bucket of turds and stick your head in there.

Next thing you know, you'll be trying to convince us how cool it is to yell for the opposing pitcher to "Throw it in the dirt!"

I agree and it's not a baby thing, more of a 5-8 year old running around. Not an emergency.

It could work once a weekend.

It was the first Rhode Island game, bottom of the 6th. Slaughter's triple. If you want to look it up on HailStateTV.

Right before the RF crosses the string in the video he looks down then back up. Gets turned around. Leading to a Slaughter triple. 3 run inning.

7:40 mark on the condensed replay. 2/26

You can do what my friends and I used to do at football games. We'd get the name of the kickoff returner nearest to us and yell "[guy's name] likes it in da butt" real loud. One time (I think against Kentucky in 2002) it worked when the guy looked over at us and then dropped the ball.

You think a 5 year old running around the field isn't an emergency? I find that strange. Were that to really happen, they would stop play.

I'm for a wide variety of OF distraction techniques. I see this one as crossing the line, however.

Would be really interesting if a kid or dog ever did end up on the field and you had yelled wolf one time too many. Just sayin.

It would be really interesting if someone yelling "I got it!" actually hopped over the fence and caught the ball.

That is exponentially more likely to happen than a kid getting over the fence, running off, right when a gapper is hit, and getting in the OF running line. I'll take my chances.

We had a dumbass fan trying to throw a beer at a Florida player back in '98 or so. He climbed the back of the fence, and got his foot stuck somehow. It was awesome. He eventually busted his ***, and compounded his embarrassment by falling back down the hill afterwards. I think he really jacked his knee up and was trying to fake being okay. He was unsurprisingly astoundingly drunk. We discussed helping him over the fence, so the player could just whip his *** appropriately.
