My team was recently eliminated from the playoffs and during our final game we were leading 2 to 1 going to the last inning and we were the visiting team. With one out and a runner on third I changed my pitcher. the new pitcher gets the 2nd out and is one strike away from ending the game before issuing a walk. Both runners score on the next hit and we lose 3 to 2. The mother of the pitcher takes her daughter from the team before we meet as a team and states that I should have never pitched her in the game because it was too much pressure. This girl is eligible to be on the team next season. How should I address this? With the player or parents or both. I'm a 2nd year coach, btw. Coach M.
