I have several times gotten a girl out on purpose so we could begin the next inning, especially in rec ball with run-limited innings. I understand it is not a guaranteed win, but I want to give my girls the best opportunity they have. Win or lose at least they had the chance. I do use the get the girl out on purpose to start the next inning tactic, but not the huddle the girls to waste time tactic.
There is a lesson there and the one being taught is not a good one.
