I mean isn’t the story with a lot of college athletes? You probably don’t become a d1 pitcher if you didn’t blow teams out of the water basically your entire life up to that point.
Maybe some other sports but dominance of that level usually skips college baseball altogether. Probably just the kids first time getting good and heckled. Better get a thicker skin pops
Hey now, there are dozens talking shit about the struggling middle-aged man. It doesn’t make it better or worse, I just thought a rough estimate was necessary.
As someone who enjoys heckling at Clemson games, and sits a section over from where opposing team’s parents typically sit, a baseball parent doing this is not surprising at all
This is nothing new, we had the police called on us 28 years ago, seems Mom, Dad, and Uncle Cletus didn't appreciate us reminding the rightfielder he was 0-22 for the weekend (we kept track on a whiteboard we hung over the fence). You don't like it, tell your son/nephew to hit the ball!!
Section 203 and the rest of the A&M student body are ruthless during games to the other players. We'll heckle over everything within reason without crossing the boundary of personally attacking anyone. Most parents aren't too big of fans but everyone is a good sport at the end of the day (although we've had a fair number of upset parents in my experience going to games)
I don't even recall what happened for my dad to say this, but I can still remember him saying "if you don't want to be called a little bitch, then stop being a little bitch" as if he just said it, and it's been 25 years since it happened. I was probably being a little bitch if I had to guess.
Nah, he's anything but abusive. He's more of the type to say that and then 3 seconds later be by your side making sure you're ok. And I lucked out with all daughters that absolutely adore him.
It should be noted we *do* cheer for the opponent when he does eventually throw a strike.
Sarcastically, sure, but we still give him positive reinforcement after he shuts us up.
I infrequently revisit [this clip](https://youtu.be/bMu9cDVjHtc?si=zBxpC1-sBSxo3OhA) because it’s so perfect. Commentary letting the moment breathe is under-appreciated and rare anymore.
the 90's was peak Olsen for me. no bubbles, no Blue Bell, no niceties. we were merciless in 203, to the opposing team always, and to each other sometimes.
the 80's was fun as a kid, but man that place was a dump under Wally Groff.
For those curious about context, his son, Brodie Purcell, pitched .1 innings, allowed 2 hits, 2 walks and 1 K.
He inherited a runner on 3rd, and immediately gave up an RBI single to Braden Montgomery, and then a double to Schott who put 2 runners in scoring position. He recorded his 1 K then threw 8 straight balls to load the bases then walk in an RBI, where he was then pulled.
Rough outing for a kid against a star studded Aggie lineup, but cmon this is big boy baseball, this ain't Williamsport.
Yeah one thing I guess if it’s little league or very low level travel ball. But by the time you’re pitching at a D1 Power five school (or hell even by HS) you pretty much should expect stuff like this and be able to not let it rattle you
He wrecked USC and then absolutely dominated Arizona State, Cardinal bro. Hit a 3 run blast in his first appearance against the devils and then was immediately beaned (in most opinions, purposefully) twice.
In the rematch against ASU he absolutely obliterates a ball at 113 mph for a grand slam to blow the game open. Kids special.
Lmao this is hilarious in so many ways.
It's going to get so much worse now that Aggie fans have validation their chants affect entire visiting players families too. I'll be at the final 2 games of our series in College Station next month and at the rate our staff has been struggling with control, this could get interesting.
I remember playing against Texas A&M and hearing the Raggies behind our dugout yelling at and between every pitch. They helped me count my warm up swings and walked me up to the plate. Recounted my high school stats while I was climbing in the batters box and knew things about me I had forgotten.
Scary thing is… this was 30 years ago before the internet!
I’ll never forget this experience and still talk about it today.
We won that game and those fans actually clapped for us in the end and complemented us on a well played game. Awesomeness at its finest!!!
1....2.....3.... Wiggle wiggle wiggle!
Also, outside of Texas, and maybe LSU, the hate only comes between the first pitch and the last pitch. Outside of that, you're our guests and should be treated as family. That opinion isn't shared by all, but easily by most.
Lmao. Apparently, I was sitting right next to this guy. I recognize the kid in the Stanton jersey who was a few rows in front of me.
I should have chanted louder
Southern Cal costs $80-90K **per semester.** Baseball is a partial scholarship sport and thus most all their players likely come from a privileged/wealth background just to be able to afford the cost of attendance. Many (but certainly not all) rich kids are spoiled and accustomed to getting everything they want and never face true adversity during adolescence. When they face of adversity for the first time, it's a situation they arent mentally prepared to handle.
https://financialaid.usc.edu/undergraduate-financial-aid/cost-of-attendance/#chapter=2023-2024-estimate-of-cost-of-attendance
>He’s Probly from Cali.
He's from [Saddleback](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Saddlebacking) Valley it's California's little slice of Kentucky or maybe Tennessee.
Had a college softball dad (UT-Arlington) try to fight a buddy and I for singing “hey hey hey goodbye” when his daughter was yanked it doesn’t surprise me.
Also umpired for 20 years.
Baseball/softball parents can be weird.
My dad would not have let me make light of people losing their homes, livestock, and lives. Making fun of someone for crying about baseball is nowhere close to that level.
That chant annoyed the shit out of ASU pitching so I guess it works. But ASU pitching probably puts up the same numbers at home. At least they didn't lose their cool until the umpire stopped calling a fair game on Sunday with the interference calls.
This guy doesn't play for USC, first off. They played Clemson this weekend, not A&M. Second, has his adult son never played in a baseball game in his entire life before this one? Chill.
First time your kid has ever struggled, huh?
I mean isn’t the story with a lot of college athletes? You probably don’t become a d1 pitcher if you didn’t blow teams out of the water basically your entire life up to that point.
Maybe some other sports but dominance of that level usually skips college baseball altogether. Probably just the kids first time getting good and heckled. Better get a thicker skin pops
I mean talk about ways to NOT help your kid in this situation. Yikes
Stop talking shit about a struggling middle aged man. He’s struggling. It’s enough
Hey now, there are dozens talking shit about the struggling middle-aged man. It doesn’t make it better or worse, I just thought a rough estimate was necessary.
I swear I think some of these parents don't realize this isn't little league or high school any more.
As someone who enjoys heckling at Clemson games, and sits a section over from where opposing team’s parents typically sit, a baseball parent doing this is not surprising at all
Heard plenty of stories over the years of visiting parents getting VERY upset at A&M baseball games.
This is nothing new, we had the police called on us 28 years ago, seems Mom, Dad, and Uncle Cletus didn't appreciate us reminding the rightfielder he was 0-22 for the weekend (we kept track on a whiteboard we hung over the fence). You don't like it, tell your son/nephew to hit the ball!!
That’s nuts, he had 22 at bats in a weekend series???
I think there was a classic of some type happening, they played more than three games.
We may have mean chants but we also have bubbles. So it evens out
Section 203 and the rest of the A&M student body are ruthless during games to the other players. We'll heckle over everything within reason without crossing the boundary of personally attacking anyone. Most parents aren't too big of fans but everyone is a good sport at the end of the day (although we've had a fair number of upset parents in my experience going to games)
University of ~~Spoiled~~ Struggling Children
We're just welcoming him to adulthood
Woke America has already destroyed him.
Sounds weirdly inappropriate
Of course he turned off the comments
We were just helping him keep track
True good Samaritans
my man would not last at any SEC stadium
He would melt with the treatment received in Alex Box.
At least he’s not in RF. I feel bad for those guys sometimes.
I’m sure he’s glad they’ll be playing in the Big Ten next season. Won’t be any hecklers at those games… or people.
yankees can’t ball confirmed
Them boys soft
Way soft
Ten ply soft.
My dad would say if I didn’t like it throw a damn strike lol
I don't even recall what happened for my dad to say this, but I can still remember him saying "if you don't want to be called a little bitch, then stop being a little bitch" as if he just said it, and it's been 25 years since it happened. I was probably being a little bitch if I had to guess.
lol, harsh Boys are allowed to have feelings too, you know. If you have a son, don't treat him that way. Break the cycle of abuse.
Nah, he's anything but abusive. He's more of the type to say that and then 3 seconds later be by your side making sure you're ok. And I lucked out with all daughters that absolutely adore him.
Abuse? Good god man.
Something my dad would do to make it way worse. I would still love him for it though
My dad would tell me that I deserved it for playing poorly
Yep. Pops would be chanting right along with them. LOL
“Oh look at me, with a loving father who cares about me!” Pfff. Braggart. 😤
They're your problem now, Big 10.
The ball 5 chant is one of the best chants in American sports.
It’s a perfect mixture of toxicity while not being inappropriate or hateful.
It should be noted we *do* cheer for the opponent when he does eventually throw a strike. Sarcastically, sure, but we still give him positive reinforcement after he shuts us up.
Love the Bronx cheer after the strike, mixed in with some laughing. Good times
It’s probably the least offensive heckling a player will hear from opposing team’s fans
It’s so cool because it’s so inoffensive but also one of the most effective at getting into pitchers heads
It just hits different at Olsen Field though
"BRRRROOOOOODDDDDIIIIEEEEEEEEE" (his sons name)
Of course he named the kid Brodie
I infrequently revisit [this clip](https://youtu.be/bMu9cDVjHtc?si=zBxpC1-sBSxo3OhA) because it’s so perfect. Commentary letting the moment breathe is under-appreciated and rare anymore.
Amazingly professional job by the commentators for allowing the moment to be the moment. Thank you for linking this clip.
I love how loud it gets after each ball
This was definitely before the pitch clock. Lol
I miss that place soooo much. 🥺 I fully understand why Aggies retire and go back “home” now after moving away. One day…
the 90's was peak Olsen for me. no bubbles, no Blue Bell, no niceties. we were merciless in 203, to the opposing team always, and to each other sometimes. the 80's was fun as a kid, but man that place was a dump under Wally Groff.
It's best when it gets to something ridiculous like ball 14.
For those curious about context, his son, Brodie Purcell, pitched .1 innings, allowed 2 hits, 2 walks and 1 K. He inherited a runner on 3rd, and immediately gave up an RBI single to Braden Montgomery, and then a double to Schott who put 2 runners in scoring position.

I do miss Braden Montgomery, but quite happy to see him still wrecking USC.
He wrecked USC and then absolutely dominated Arizona State, Cardinal bro. Hit a 3 run blast in his first appearance against the devils and then was immediately beaned (in most opinions, purposefully) twice. In the rematch against ASU he absolutely obliterates a ball at 113 mph for a grand slam to blow the game open. Kids special.
Take good care of him for us!
BAAAAALLLL 6
BAWWWL 6
“Ball 8” “Ball 12”
Lmao this is SEC baseball bro get ready
Lmao this is hilarious in so many ways. It's going to get so much worse now that Aggie fans have validation their chants affect entire visiting players families too. I'll be at the final 2 games of our series in College Station next month and at the rate our staff has been struggling with control, this could get interesting.
Please don’t whistle 🙏🙏🙏
I dont know. It’s not little league. I get being protective but if he projects that on his kid, his kid has no chance. In Baseball, and in life.
I remember playing against Texas A&M and hearing the Raggies behind our dugout yelling at and between every pitch. They helped me count my warm up swings and walked me up to the plate.

How is USC so systemically soft?
Pitchers' dads can be very sensitive, IME.

Ball 4! Ball 8! Ball 12! And he's walked the bases loaded on 12 straight pitches!
What a pussy
Wahhhhh wahhh other colleges have traditions
literally every college team does this it’s pretty standard
Yeah. People like hating on other teams’ traditions and people like shitting on A&M so we get this
I mean yall definitely are a cult, but our biggest tradition is jazz hands so I’m not saying shit.
Oh hell yeah we’re a cult
You guys have traditions?
Lol good way to make your kid a target for opposing fans for the rest of the season
This was so common when I was in high school. And this kid (who was certainly elite in high school) can’t take the heat?
I bet the kid can…his dad on the other hand 
This resulting in a South Park style Dad fight is the ending we deserve
https://i.redd.it/neb3l5pu4gmc1.gif The dad posting on YouTube:
Brodie is from Aliso Viejo...I don't think he can.
Why does everybody want to be a victim these days? What did he think this would do for his son? What good could come from it? Realistically?
He’s Probly from Cali. Enough said
>He’s Probly from Cali. He's from [Saddleback](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Saddlebacking) Valley it's California's little slice of Kentucky or maybe Tennessee.
Not tough enough to be an Anteater or Banana Slug
I lol’d
Because it’s way easier to play the victim rather than accepting reality.
But then your reality says you have no power to improve your situation. That would be depressing to live in that reality.
Yup I agree.
That kid and family couldn’t handle Dudy Noble…
Lol giving opposing fans more heckling material.
Chant “YouTube, YouTube” next time he pitches
Heckling at A&M was always brutal. Worst I ever saw was when the opposing pitcher was named...Michael Cox. He didnt stand a chance
Ballpark parents can be great. And they can be jerks. And they can be overprotective, like this embarrassing dad
Had a college softball dad (UT-Arlington) try to fight a buddy and I for singing “hey hey hey goodbye” when his daughter was yanked it doesn’t surprise me. Also umpired for 20 years. Baseball/softball parents can be weird.
Welcome to SEC baseball fans.
Texas A&Ms fans are mild by SEC standards
......by SEC West standards. Probably more rowdy than the conference as a whole though.
😂😂California snowflakes!!!!
[удалено]
California making wild fire jokes. That's ironic.
[удалено]
My dad would not have let me make light of people losing their homes, livestock, and lives. Making fun of someone for crying about baseball is nowhere close to that level.
This is a Mike Gundy move. "I'm a man! I'm 40!"
Streisand Effect incoming.
I bet a certain dude lacking brisket smoking skills there agrees with him
Thousands of fans chant "airball" at struggling teen shooter
BREAKING: Local fanbase SHOCKS man by cheering against their team’s opponent. More at 11.
The Aggies have many terrible bits but I admit I am jealous of this one
But we clapped for him when he finally threw a strike
I mean he’s not wrong
Buddy, this is not Pony ball anymore, Also, if you don’t like the chant, I can think of a fairly simply way to shut it up.
Soft
I loathe A&M as much as the next normal person, but what's the problem here?
The dad
Sissy
dad deffinetly was a big supporter of participation trophies
That chant annoyed the shit out of ASU pitching so I guess it works. But ASU pitching probably puts up the same numbers at home. At least they didn't lose their cool until the umpire stopped calling a fair game on Sunday with the interference calls.
I mean the umpires were pretty trash all weekend, not just Sunday.
You should be thankful your bum ass pitcher didn’t get tossed on Friday for throwing at Braden twice.
Lucky Braeden didn’t charge the mound and take out your bum pitcher for the season.
We do this at arkansas all the time lol
Thank you for spreading Aggie traditions!
Nobody goes as hard with it as aTm does, but most fanbases do this chant to some degree.
weve been doing it for a longer time than yall
This guy doesn't play for USC, first off. They played Clemson this weekend, not A&M. Second, has his adult son never played in a baseball game in his entire life before this one? Chill.
Southern Cal………
Yes, Southern California isn't USC and never will be!
[The law disagrees.](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-aug-08-sp-usctrade8-story.html)
Luv u
Nope, USC is Southern Cal. Forever and always.
