Stupid Fan Quotes

[argodad]

I had two head-shakers in a HS District tournament game yesterday that I thought I'd share:

From a dad: "Three and two. It's gotta be perfect!"

From a mom after the game: "My daughter has a hurt wrist and she made a good throw, and you didn't give her the out."

One of my favorites came from a parent and went like this:

Moron: Come on, blue, he was safe! I've got 20/20 vision with these glasses on!

Me: Sir, I read bottom line on the eyechart, and I don't wear any glasses.

Slight pause...

Moron: Good call, blue!

The pitch was way inside and about waist high. The batter squats way down to avoid getting hit, but still got beaned in the brain-pan. This dad starts in with, "She's got to make a better attempt to get out-of-the-way." When that didn't work, he then comments, "It's a strike blue when the batter is hit in the strike zone."

Those are the ones where you are tempted to turn around and say to the fan, "here's your sign."

We've all heard some idiot yell "Hands are part of the bat!" but this one took the cake.

Pitcher is throwing smoke, so batters are beginning their swings essentially before they see the ball. Pitch comes high and tight. Batter tries to bail and at the last second blocks the ball with a bare hand (a hand not contacting the bat at all).

"Hands are part of the bat, Blue!!!"

Here's your sign.

About a week ago in a High School game...

"COME ON BLUE THAT BALL COULDN'T BE A STRIKE, IT WAS AT HER KNEES!"
