We had a scrimmage game last night and only 2 pitchers showed up so they put my DD in the circle to start the game. She thought that she would pitch half the game but instead pitched all 8 innings. She threw hard and strong the entire time. The coach after the game said that he was impressed in how she did for pitching for the entire game.
My DD tried to talk to the coach about the playing time situation but he was in a hurry to head home as it was getting rather cold (in the middle 40's) at the end of the game. He said that he would schedule time to talk to her before next practice on Wednesday.
When she tried out for the team she specified pitching and 2nd base and limited outfield. That obviously hasn't happened and that is why SHE is disappointed. Like I stated before, I don't care where she plays. This is about her being happy, not my ego.
As far as the compassion comment, I too have respect and compassion for the vets coming home from war but I also respect posters here that post questions about softball and how to help their DD in a difficult situation. If you feel that you being negative is a way to be positive, more power to you. I posted a comment on a concern that I have about my DD, I don't consider it being "a disgruntled parent", but a concerned parent trying to help their DD.
