Well, I talked with Coach. He said he did intend to pitch her the 4th and 6th games. But, her bad attitude towards playing OF changed that. He said he couldn't reward her pouting. I agree with that 100%. I know her well enough tho and know that her pouting was more about making bad plays (forgetting back ups, cut offs, etc...) and poor at bats than it was about the position she was playing. I have talked with my daughter about the importance of OF positions. Heck, her dad is a baseball scout and sees her more as the prototypical CF or RF than he does as pitcher (since she's not big and overpowering). I'm hoping she gets it.
Coach also asked her yesterday if she would want to pick up and play this weekend with his other team (2000 and she's a 99 - but both still 10U.). So that was nice that he thought of her. He said he hasn't given up on her as a pitcher - he thinks she's coming along really well - but that he couldn't reward her bad behavior by giving her the ball. So fair enough and I'm glad I called him.
