I stepped up to help a 14u team, (rec) that needed a coach. Last night I was instructing about rotational swings and how there is no "level swing" and that I know that people will yell that at them.
I spotted "Grandpa" walking by and this statement caught his attention and he walks up and says "And baseball players are pitching from a mound."
I had to try to get everyone back on track, so I said but we are talking about drop balls. Oh, geez. It is going to be a long season.

Shoulda put one in Grandpa's earhole!

ETA- sorry, thought this was the Florida-Auburn drama thread as it seemed plausible that the Florida HC was nicknamed after the lovable grandfather on the wholesome Walton family's TV series. My bad..

Quincy, Please come to Tucson. Sit in the bleachers and just yell things. Last week, while teaching diving back into the base a dad yelled "They are getting too far off of the base!"
This ain't my first rodeo.

if anyone yelled anything out like that at one of my practices, right or wrong, one of my assistants would take over while the parent and i had a chat!

My DW doesn't like softball anymore, because she won't go to the games. She won't go to the games because she always gets upset during the games she goes to. At one point both DD 1 and DD 3 asked her not to attend their games.
Now DD 3 is upset because DW doesn't go to enough games.

Trust me, nobody can win. Ever. Everyone loses.

What about the parent who KNOWS that he doesn't know Jack about softball, so generally keeps his mouth shut? That is me, MOST of the time. MOST. And when I do, I might just stick my foot in my mouth. Seriously, I can think of about 2 times when I was the annoying parent.

So, nobody can EVER win.

That's softball.
