Reply to "Bad player behavior starting in high school?"

Thought I would add a little levity to this thread.....

Son's D3 team was playing a very very good D3 team and was getting cooked. The opposing team was chirping from the dugout like a HS girls softball team, only they weren't shouting words of encouragement. Son's HC was coaching 3rd and one of the players on the team, whom I refer to as Dirtbag, starts chirping back at them. HC steps toward the dugout and tells Dirtbag to give it a rest. HC says " they just don't know how to act when they are winning". I loved this. At bat is over and Dirtbag approaches the HC and says he was " tired of no one giving it back to them". HC looks straight at him and says " I know I know, but you are 0-4 with 3 strike outs, your just not that guy today". It was the funniest exchange I've ever witnessed between a player and coach. Side note...Dirtbag was a dude.

P.S. Son's team ended up knocking them out of the conference tournament for some revenge....and boy was there some chirping from our dugout.
