The Diamond Dogs beat Western Carolina Tuesday, with preseason All-American Gordon Beckham hitting his 10th homer of the year (I know I said he’s not going to keep hitting .500 all season, but, hell, he’s right on the mark a fourth of the way through the season) and his 35th as a Bulldog, tying him for fourth all-time.
Afterwards, he had a few heated things to say about the home run and the “chirpiness” of the Catamounts:
“It’s very frustrating to play a baseball game when you have guys on the other team just constantly just chirping like a softball team. This is not softball it’s baseball. I was very frustrated with it because that’s not the way you play baseball in my opinion. Some people believe that that’s the way you play but I was just very frustrated. When Michael (Demperio) got on that inning I was like if he throws it anywhere near the plate I’m gonna hit it as hard as I can, and that’s what happened. He left a fastball right down the middle and I crushed it. It’s very frustrating playing baseball teams like just because it’s Mickey Mouse stuff.”
Wow. A rare show of emotion from the reigning SEC Player of the Week.
