Texas A&M pitcher calls out fans for 'disgusting' criticism amid team's slow start

Aggies pitcher Shane Sdao implored fans to take a breath.

"Some of the things that I am seeing on X and Instagram are just absolutely disgusting and ridiculous," Sdao said in a statement posted to his X account. "We all understand that we are not playing to the best of our abilities but the level of hate and disrespect being thrown around is completely unacceptable and out of line.

"At the end of the day, we are all human and no one is more frustrated than we are. We are working everyday to be better and this is not helping at all. No one has any idea what any of us are going through. This doesn't just go for the baseball team, it does for every other sport as well. Let's go back to being Aggie fans instead of acting like opposing team fans. Let's do better. Gig 'Em."

Texas A&M finished 53-15 last season after starting the year with 17 straight wins. They finished as runner-up to Tennessee in the national championship.
