DD2 HS team has got to be the worst team I have seen in recent memory. They just don't have the experienced players nor pitching. Tuesday's night's game was a 2.5 inning beat down. 18-0. They held them to 2 runs in the 1st inning and then our pitcher went on to either walk or HBP the entire roster twice. Scoring 16 runs in the 2nd. We only had 6 AB's the entire game. Yeah Yeah Yeah. Get better right.
When you know that your team is getting nothing out of a game why not put your 2nd and 3rd stringers in the game to make good use of everyone's time? No one learned a thing about each other's team that they already didn't know. Thankfully the game only lasted an hour. I spent the same amount of time driving to and from the game.
Amen. I teach at a large, inner-city high school and we are lucky to get enough players for a team. We have 12 players right now. Three have never played before. We have one upper-classman playing. We will likely lose multiple weeks to eligibility issues. Yet, we play in a big school, competitive conference.
I do not understand why coaches don't just put their JV team out there. Their JV team will still stomp us easily. Nobody is getting anything valuable in a varsity vs. us game.
The school coach my daughters played for was like this too. When we are killing/getting killed, get your other players in the game. Otherwise, we see what actually happens ... girls get sick of riding the bench and leave the sport altogether. Eventually, nobody gets to play.
