We're a second year 12u team playing league in the 14u bracket. Last night we were up against a couple second year, soon to be 16u teams, and we're getting CLOBBERED! Honestly, exactly what I expected. No worries there.
So last night I'm into the game, and the opposing batter smoked one to the fence and cleared the bases. This girl used to play for me and is a great kid. So I applauded her in a way that was still respectful to our team. Wow! HC did not like that one bit! Chewed me out a little for not "supporting our team". I explained to him WHY I applauded her and that it really was a great hit, and I'm just a fan of the game. I like to see big plays (preferrably by our girls of course) but he wasn't having it!
Anyway, just a rant. I get there is a winner and a loser at every game, however a good play is a good play regardless of who makes it. Just don't see why so many HCs are so over the top. Enjoy the game for what it is every once in a while!
