Softball and baseball coaching

I agree, and we were very clear up front with the parents and the kids about how we were going to do things. These parents just wanted to win and nothing we could have said would have changed their minds.

Of course the dad who chewed me out after the playoff game was hiding out in his truck the next day when our ace pitcher threw four great innings and we won.

I always tell them that's what summer all-stars and year round travel programs are for. I tell them I want to win in rec too, I just might not always put our team in the best position to do so for various reasons.

BTW, Nice job managing the BB innings/pitch count, they can be tricky.
