I haven't had a 7 inning game last two hours in years. I've lectured my trainees on how to keep the flow of the game going and consistent.
Well.....last Thursday was supposed to be an evaluation day...I had no games. The assigner called and asked that instead of watching two rookies, would I work with one on a Frosh game?
I wanted to see him behind the plate so I took the bases. These two Frosh teams had maybe one good player each, and neither was a pitcher nor catcher nor infielder.
My partner was hit eight times. I never made so many safe calls at first on infield batted balls in my life. The few times there was a quality throw, the firstbaseman dropped the ball.
It was a horrible experience that took 2 hours and 40 minutes to complete. Final score: 23 - 17
I don't see how it was learning experience for anyone.
