for your team, what is your entire bench atmosphere during a game. I know ours is pretty relaxed- we have a lot of fun; and it works well, and some teams are really intense

Ours is everything but relaxed. Everyone is on the fence the whole game. The bench guys run to the foul poles in between innings. And during the innings try to pick any signs up from the other teams.
No running to the foul poles but we are pretty intense as well, up on fence, picking up signs, and not goofing off.
All about baseball.You have guys always watching the game,saying what should and shouldnt be done,what guys are coughing it up(even on our team),and a few guys complain that they arent in the game!!!
The bench should be relaxed but not necessarily "fun" as you term it
It should be about baseball
It should be about baseball
I guess you can call it relaxed, but there are a bunch of people who don't like eeachother, so its like a weird situation. People just root for their team, and have fun. Thats what is comes down to.
When i was playing, we were always talking about who's datin who and social things. We hardly ever talked about what was going on in the field. Even on my Elite Team we talked about dating and drinking and stuff. WE talked about the same things that we did during stretching as we did during the game. I always had a problem with that, cause I was always talking about the pitchers pickoff move or the fielders positioning rather than who i was giong out with. And our Elite coahc at the time backed me up by pointing out that if you really had the desire and talent to be a great ballplayer, than yould be talking about that in the dugout during a game, your mind wouldn't be on other things. That coach wasn't lying.
Stay in the game. We had to get the foul balls in the woods behind the feild.
We're a bunch of goofball who never shut up. It's fun but we're serious when we need to be
Chart the game routing for the team in a positive way, players on the bench who are thinking baseball and always being positive. Oh and getting the coach wet at the end of a game.
We used to be a loud obnoxious team that would scream while the pitcher was in his delivery and all that nonsense but we all decided to show more class as a team and now we yell encouragements to our batter or pitcher when we're in the field but we are more relaxed and focused on the game, we try to get loud but no obnoxious anymore.
While in the game, I am all about energy and pumping up the team. If I am not in the game, I have a more relaxed feeling and enjoy sitting on the bench with friends and eating seeds.
