Did the coach know the dad was calling pitches from the stands? I can't imagine putting up with that for more than one or two pitches before that dad got read the riot act.
If there is one thing I can't stand it is dads coaching from the bleachers. It looks so pitiful, and I just cringe for the kid.
At our game last night, for awhile I sat next to the parents of the new kid on our team. Nice enough guy, but his kid gets to the plate and it's a constant stream of instruction. "Toe in." "Get up to the plate." "Now protect." Etc.
We've all seen it. Every time I see it again, it reminds me to keep my mouth shut.
