Again..that is a contextual shift…so I don't understand the relevance of the question. However…I did not say I would…and neither did the OP.From my limited view of TB (the areas we participate in). We have seen varying degrees of ability up and down each level of play at each age group we have been in. Some tournaments in our area become a hodge podge of varying levels of ability of mixing with A/B/C etc. So sometimes its going to happen where you dominate more…just like sometimes you get dominated.
Yes..our TB coach would of pulled dd… if we were whipping them with pitching and bats. Our HS coach wouldn't of though…never pulled my dd this season…for what ever reason regardless of competition level or score.
I would bet most of the TOP LEVEL players have some memories that mean something to them that were against inferior talent. I don't see how they couldn't when they were kids. It may not mean as much to them as when they beat UCLA in college…but not many kids get to have that memory. Its like when our team finally beats a team we haven't beat before. I wouldn't want them to not enjoy it cause that team wasn't a A GOLD team.
I am curious to hear what you would of said...so I will ask you a question.
What would of you said as a dad… to your 13 or 14 yr old dd….if a coach left her in a game against anyone…and she struck out 21 batters?
