First of all my dd has pitched long enough to know better. Last night dd comes into the game 3rd inning to pitch. Freshman pitcher was falling apart, so coach had dd go in. Dd starts pitching to the batter, 3rd base coach starts yelling to ump, she needs to present the ball. Dd never shows the ball always in her glove, learned that from Hillhouse when she was taking lessons from him. The ump tells the coach that she is legal. The coach wasn't satisfied with the answer. Now 1st base coach starts saying the same thing. They said this at least twice a batter. Then now the scorekeeper starts yelling the same thing. were talking every batter that went up at least 2 times when the batter was up. Well it worked they got into dds head and she was getting mad. She even addressed the 3rd base coach and said you "don't know what you are talking about". She went from striking the first 2 batters out too falling apart. She got out of that inning no runs scored but now really mad.
She is the second batter up to bat. The coach yells to his pitcher to not show the ball and see how she likes it. Dd is pissed now and tries to hit as hard as she can, swinging at crap. She ends up striking out, but gets on because dropped 3rd strike and a run scores also. Comes out to pitch the 4th inning and is just all over the place walks a girl, gives up a hit right down the middle. The whole time the coaches and scorekeeper keep saying she needs to present the ball. Gives up 4 runs in that inning. Coach pulls her when she comes in, I agree with the coach, dd lost all focus. I think that the coaches were bush league. I guess I would think the umpires would of told them to stop, but they didn't. I hate high school softball.
