Tiger3boy, I didn't mean to offend you. Your response seems to suggest that I did. It is a matter of what you preach. If your approach is what you practice then, no it isn't a double standard. Simply put, we preach aggression! We played a team the other day that had given up 3 stolen bases on the year. The reason = their catcher had an absolute hose! I looked at the boys and said we have our work cut out for us today. They all laughed = I won't back down. He threw us out our first attempt. Coach came over and bragged that no one can run on them. We stole 7 bases that game. I only used the phrase double standard because I/my staff have made certain promises to our kids. We will run every chance we get. We will not play "good baseball" and hope to win. We will be aggressive in every phase of the game. Then, we practice it. That is all that I'm saying. Good luck this year!
