This weekend at my son's 14U tournament the other team was up 9-1 in the fourth. There is a 10 runs after 5 rule in place and the other team squeezed to get a run home. Our coach went ballistic!! F-bombs, horse sh++, and every name in the book. After ranting and raving for 10 minutes he called time. My son was playing third and this is how the meeting went. Nothing but cussing and talk about how the other team was disrepecting the game and our team. He told the pitcher to throw over to first 10 times and then "stick it in the batter's ear".

Happily the pitcher didn't do it. He did throw to first 4 times in a row. All of this was caused by a coach losing his mind over a percieved insult about "how the game should be played."

Some of the parents started to get upset with the squeeze play but I talked to a few and told them the opposing coach was just trying to shorten the game and save some pitching and it cooled off in the stands.

We are through with that organization.
