The old adage is "it is easier to get forgiveness than permission." It isn't better. It's better to get permission, but often it is easier to get forgiveness after the fact.
This video made me realize that if I poop my pants in public, I don't have to tell anyone. There's no law against it and it's nobody's business but mine.
Holy shit, that makes this so much better. They didn't switch their pitcher because they were nervous. They did it because he was /exhausted/ and he still did this. Hot damn. People who find baseball boring don't get it.
@@Dave_Znothere Not at the college level it isnt. I would strongly recommend you check out the College World Series. Most exciting baseball you'll ever watch in your life.
Todd is my brother. We grew up together, sharing a bedroom. We still talk to each other all the time, and he tells me things that he doesn’t tell anyone else, because we are so close, and that makes me feel like I’m better than everyone else, because I know Todd better than anyone else on TH-cam! I’m actually wearing an old pair of his underwear right now, that haven’t been washed since he last wore them. They still smell just like him, and it reminds me of his balls ❤ ⚾️ 💕
Such a pure moment in sports. That will always stand out as a "I was going to try, and it payed off moment" and coach couldn't have been more tickled! It's absolutely priceless!!
Dude knew how to swing a bat I assure you. He’d been playing ball since he was 5 year old. That false bravado shit you’re talking about in the US gets a lot of people shot here.
Hey, they're making the game faster and more interesting next year. More stolen bases, pitch clock...other shit that should be popular. You might come around.
@@berrynice3157 he had a better chance of ending his career pitching then batting bro..... line drives at the pitcher is way more dangerous then batting
You hear it more often in sports. Like telling your coach you’re not injured when you are, just to stay in the game. If it works out, it works out! Most of the time it’s more like “well thanks for not telling me”
I have loads of respect for Coach Molinari. My family was at the SEC tournament in Bham a few years back and the teams take BP in a spot level with the concourse and teams walk thru the stadium to the field. LSU came down and my 3 year old deck out in her UF cheerleader outfit had just learned the gator chomp and was chomping everyone coming by, Paul actually stopped on his way down gave her a high-five and made some funny faces to make her laugh. Absolute class from the coach, nothing but respect from this Gator fan!
At this level the coach understands that the difference between this level and highschool is the same as the difference between driving a battery powered toy barbie car and a real car. While they both have 4 wheels and you are technically driving them both the skills are not exactly transferable.
@@tehweezled them to 1 Natty(which is more than most can say) and 2 title appearances. Not terrible in 14 years but LSU still wasn’t fully past the Skip Bertman phase, a guy who was one of the greatest college baseball coaches ever so it wasn’t enough to a lot of fans as the years carried on. Didn’t help that he won a title early on in his tenure and never won another. Basically the Les Miles of the program but for baseball.
Because it's the coaches job to make decisions and if you lie to him he won't have accurate information to make the best decision, so it's understandable why a coach would still be mad even if they ended up winning, it's not like every time this guy gets to bat his team will win, he easily could have just got lucky because even the good hitter only hit on average 30-40% of the time and he got 4 hits in probably 4 or 5 at bats
I remember watching that game. It was awesome when he hit it off the wall. I was going nuts and just knew it was gone but he barely missed it. I always loved Todd Peterson too.
@@CrispyBuda he's a pitcher. Not sure why they didn't have someone else hit but coach told him to hit and just stand there. Todd wanted to swing so he told the coach he hit bombs in high school which was a lie. His coach wouldn't let him hit in high school. He gets up to bat and first pitch he smashes it and hits it off the wall for a double. It's just weird to see a pitcher who doesn't ever hit get up to bat and smash the first pitch and damn near hit a home run.
My boy was in the moment "fuck yea I hit bombs in high school" - nearly every guy who played high school baseball when they get drunk
Bro I won a championship 🥴
Sadly I have done this.
We’re all golden glove winners
Most people would have let a lie like this go on until it was undeniable, and usually people are eaten by then. "Coach I wanted to swing..."
Lol
His response “coach,’I wanted to swing” is the most honest response ever
After a LIE, Jorge….. a LIIIIEEEEEE!…..
@@dontforgettolike7127 - Lie? Lie?? Lie!!!?? Sports are BUILT fundamentally on Confidence !!! Bitch,
Made me think of Space Jam. Whenever Mike was told not to swing.

Best example of “better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission”.
The old adage is "it is easier to get forgiveness than permission." It isn't better. It's better to get permission, but often it is easier to get forgiveness after the fact.

If you want to lead, you're gonna need confidence.
Should he b scared🤔 idk wat ur gettn at
Baseball is a game of failure. Guys who spend a career hitting the ball 3 out of 10 plate appearances end up in the hall of fame. Might as well swing.
Dude knew how to swing a bat I assure you. He’d been playing ball since he was 5 year old. That false bravado shit you’re talking about in the US gets a lot of people shot here.
That's cause we get lied to by our parents and teachers that we can do anything since we are babies 😂
Everyone around him and involved just dying laughing at every level gets me lmao the couch the reporters and the press conference 😂
I love this! The honesty this young man had along with the respect is astonishing!
"I just wanted to swing" got me rolling!
This kid is from my hometown. He and all his folks are good people.
You know it's real when it's a no profile pic account, who's straight to the point with no clout chasing hahaha. Killer that you know a dope dude :)

Coach will appreciate confidence over honesty
It’s not a miracle that he hit a home run. It’s a miracle that something good came out of a postgame news conference. Great stuff!
He hit a home run? 😢

He’s at high a with the nationals
At double A now

Honestly shouldn't the coach have already known what this kids high school career looked like? I mean he fucking recruited him lmao
Yeah, he was truly a legendary baseball coach. Led LSU to a few national titles in his time there and recently retired if I'm not mistaken.
At this level the coach understands that the difference between this level and highschool is the same as the difference between driving a battery powered toy barbie car and a real car. While they both have 4 wheels and you are technically driving them both the skills are not exactly transferable.
