JV game, 34 kids on roster, beating a mediocre team with our talented top 10 kids. Winning 13-1 bottom 4. No way the other team can win from anyone's perspective. Second and third round of subs going in, except for a starting outfielder brought into pitch, with one of 4 catchers (never caught in a game this year yet). Pitcher throws hard flat inaccurate fastballs - that's it. Bottom five, a few base hits later and some passed balls, score is now 13-4. Time for inning 6. Same pitcher and catcher, other subs are held. Bottom 6 it's now 15-6. We win in 7 - 15-6 (brought in a regular pitcher and catcher). Coach goes ballistic on the team saying he will never sub again, loud enough for everyone. Praises starting lineup and told all subs they lost, basically 5-1. I think he wanted to go home early and forgot he should be developing and motivating players and it's a team game. Wanting to win at all costs is not always a good thing.
...or maybe he was using one of several options to try to motivate the subs to be more prepared and take advantage of the opportunities when they get them.
Throwing JV into the conversation certainly changes this discussion. I suggest we don't muddy up the waters. The JV scenario has it's own unique set of circumstances and that perspective has been discussed many times here.
