Congrats NV on your DD's great game!
How about my kid drills yours for taking a lead off to send a message.But a shove into the thigh stings a little and can clearly send a message. We have got to stop being sissies.

Better yet, lets have one of our pitchers who can hit 60mph drill you in the ribs and then you tell me about sissys.
If your kid could hit marks the size of a thigh she wouldn't need to throw at kids. Everybody gets hit...it's the intentional throwing at the peeves me. My kid gets beaned enough by wild things that think they have command of the ball. I'll alter the suggestion since your scare of taking on in the ribs, lets see you stand in a take a 55-60mph pitch to the thigh, hope its not a little low and you take it on the knee or high and you get a hip pointer.
I would have pulled my DD immediately, had anyone ever signaled her to hit a batter. It is not even negotiable. And I instruct all of my students and their parents, to react the same way. Intentionally hitting a girl because she is a better athlete than you, is totally bush league.
My dd hasn't played for an organization yet where this doesn't happen. Did I say you go out and intentionally hurt someone by shooting for the ear hole? NO. But a shove into the thigh stings a little and can clearly send a message.
