Coach this weekend playing his 12u team up in 14 bracket.....not a bad local 12u team, they were lucky it was a weak bracket, though......they got two wins out of the weekend
in our game he was running his mouth before things even started.....there's history (from their side) with our program, they really aren't a blip on my radar
my leadoff batter ripped the 2nd pitch to center......and it sounded like mush......we had it checked, and it was a softie....it got thrown out
his daughter was the SP.......ball came out of their dugout, in my mind there's NO way even a 12u pitcher doesn't know she's throwing a softie.....
happened again later in the weekend with the same team, also home team (P warming up with a game ball, comes out to start the first with a game ball in hand)
i didn't obviously think much of it until later on......it was obviously purposeful, and it is apparently a favored enough trick that they pulled it twice
how can/should this be handled? kind of hard to prove intent, i would think, at least until they were caught doing it once......but what should/could blue have done here?
