Relax and enjoy the game. I was told many years ago, when I cared about IP's, that I should only worry how our pitchers pitched, and stop worrying about how the opposing pitchers pitched.

Lately our players hit badly enough that an illegal pitcher is not going to be the reason we lose a game. That sounds mean but seriously I feel like we've been slumping all spring. So if the girls (well, my kid or our other pitcher, I don't think any of the others notice) were to complain about an illegal pitcher I think HC would tell them to focus on hitting the ball and not worry about it. If we have a 45 mph pitcher throwing flat fastballs down the middle (can you say COACH PITCH) and we still aren't hitting, what difference does it make? LMAO

Agreed on the points of not letting the rule violation become more of an issue than it is for your own team by drawing more attention to it.
I “felt” like getting angry but we just asked the umpire about it and moved on with trying to get our batters to adjust. I am more of a spirit of the law sort of person so a slight leap or flaky umpire is not a big deal to me.
This was 1 with a true replant out of about 100 total pitchers I have seen this season. I thought that was pretty good ratio considering how much of an advantage it can be (for a while).
