Donnie S : I just wrote the same thing on another thread in here somewhere regarding the bat waggle with DD pitching...very funny.
The "take until 2 strikes rule" can be popular with coaches who have players overmatched by better pitching. We see it all the time, especially in the LL All-Star tournaments. Most times our kids are good enough to win by hitting (which is what we teach and stress), but occasionally they come up short. We stress to the kids to play aggressively, take the extra base and swing hard for hits. If the other team makes the play great. Winning is nice but winning by playing passively is not the way to do so.
