The last tournament we played we ran into a situation during our final game that I wanted your feedback on. It started in the third inning and lasted the last three innings of the game. The parents that was sitting behind home plate and towards their dugout started calling pitch positions. Our catcher was setting up too soon behind the plate (her fault) but the parents began shouting "inside" or "outside" on every pitch. They mounted a rally and beat us sending us home.
I have watched games where base runners on second would signal the batter of a pitch call, or sometimes a coach or player in the dugout would say something, but a parent outside the field?
To me, this is Bush League. Let the coaches coach and let the players play. Parents should watch, cheer and buy junk food at the concession stand. Stay out of the game!
