Apologies if it’s been discussed before, heading into our travel season, interested to hear thoughts...
Bush or not bush? (And does it depend on level/age)? For reference, we’re a second year 10u B local team. First the scenarios, then my answers:
1. 3-0 bunt wave take
2. Fake bunt - swing
3. Stealing after up x runs
4. Taking base on past ball after up x runs
5. Alerting batter to pitch
6. Stealing signs
1. We have a sign for this, and do use it
2. Illegal in most tournaments we play for 10u
3. We stop running after 10 runs, but will turn it back up if it gets closer
4. It seems more insulting not to take the base, but we don’t take home
5. If it’s obvious a change up is coming, we have a call
6. Everyone in a two hour radius knows our signs, but at 10u it doesn’t seem to be much of an advantage
Interested to hear other perspectives and if it changes as they age. We’ve had opponents take issue with 1 and 5.
