Got a chance to watch him play Saturday. This isn't sour grapes, but I wasn't impressed at all. Tonight, I'm not watching, but following and he has the hat trick already through 5 innings. He's a good looking kid and hope he does well, but he's never playing college baseball. Not if he's splitting sports. He needs a lot of baseball reps. A whole lot.

Yeah, I didn't think he would help us on the diamond, at least not immediately but I do think he could've helped us on the gridiron.

Hat trick, as in the K type.

What the hell is a hat trick? 3 homers? 3Ks? Never heard that term used towards baseball in my 39 years.

3 strikeouts in one game it's been around forever. I'm 57 and I've heard it since my little league days.

Golden Sombrero is 4 k's in a game.

I tried to tell people. He's nothing special at all, in either sport.

Seriously? Hell, I played in the late 80's/early 90's and we used it. Would call people Gretsky for striking out 3 times.

The SEC is a man’s league. For Stone to be successful he is going to have to pick a sport. I just don’t think he can play both effectively. I’m not familiar with his baseball skills, but I think he can play football at the SEC level, and play it well.

Yep, that is a Golden Sombrero. A hat trick, if I had to guess, in baseball would most aptly be linked to 3 homers.

3 Ks could also be called - An "Ole Miss Fan".

Ahh there it is. Been waiting for [insert player name] is nothing special. Glad we missed on [insert player name].

We wanted Blanton and he would have helped us. Would have provided depth this year and probably would have been on the two deep year 2.

As C34 said - I've always known 3Ks in a game as a Hat Trick and 4 as the Golden Sombrero - this was back when I was playing HS ball in the late 80s and early 90s. I've even heard it referenced that way on MLB broadcasts over the years.
On my high school team, if you got the Hat Trick, we'd throw our hats at you as you re-entered the dugout. The GS got you a mariachi serenade when you got on the bus after the game.

Well your guess would be wrong. It's not 3 hr. Its 3 k's.

Yep, has been for a long, long time. And if you've been unlucky enough to experience it you know first hand and it sucks lol!
