Examples: Number 1 team in the league, beat us 10-0 first time around, next time, beating us 9-3 in the 6th, stealing, hit and run, and suicide squeeze. Their number one spot basically assured, 2 weeks left in regular season, and we haven't had a hit since the 2nd inning against their #2 guy.
Another game, losing 13-1 in the 5th, 10 run rule pretty safe at this point, 3 different guys doing a hit and run in the top of 5th [side note: team on the cusp for Districts, Junior beat them with a 2 hitter earlier first time around] and several guys scoring from 2nd on basic singles to OF. [this part I'm OK with - you play the game right - there are times when I think it's more embarrassing to hold guys up, but ...I digress].
I'd like the opinions of the real baseball folks here, not just the guys/gals looking to boost their karma points

Seriously- in a regualr season game against a non-factor team with no underlying animosity btwn teams - at what point do you stop stealing, H+R, squeezing, etc?? Again - the 'anything can ahppen mentality' aside.
I'm not a whiner - when you get your butt whipped, you get your butt whipped - mama said there'd be days like that. I always thought that I coached and played the right way, but where is the line in the sand?
Thanks!
