LSU Pitcher Appears To Cuss Out Mississippi State Baseball’s Hunter Stovall In Game

Todd Peterson, a pitcher for LSU, appeared to have choice words for Mississippi State baseball’s Hunter Stovall as he cusses Stovall out while on the pitcher’s mound

Last night, in Mississippi State baseball‘s loss to the LSU Tigers, one of LSU’s pitchers apparently wanted to express his opinion about Hunter Stovall for some reason. With the Tigers up on the Bulldogs, Todd Peterson took the mound.

At one point, Peterson faced off against Mississippi State junior second baseman Hunter Stovall. Stovall was at the plate, attempting to get the Bulldogs back in the game. In that moment, Peterson appeared to make a rather interesting remark.

Peterson appears to insult Stovall.

And it wasn’t just a soft insult or one that’s intended to be a friendly jab.

In the heat of the moment last night, Peterson hurled insults at Hunter Stovall, a player known for spending his free time volunteering at his church, St. Judes Children’s Hospital, the March of Dimes foundation, and the Field of Angels Baseball League for children with disabilities.

Friendly jabs are part of the game. Trash talking is definitely present in just about any sporting event ever. But, it can certainly be taken too far, as it was in this instance right here by Todd Peterson. It’s unsurprising that Peterson would be excited and amped up to play in the SEC Tournament, this is a huge opportunity for him and his team.

Still, this is a step too far. In the heat of the moment, while it’s understandable to show emotion and say things that you aren’t proud of later, things like this are still too much. And, even though some studies might show that profanity can help your performance as an athlete, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s always warranted. Especially in a case like this.
