Played our 18U States last night. Team meeting outside dugout EVERY half inning by both teams, no hustle by players to get on and off the field, etc. Talk about making an evening looooonnnnnngggg!
That does make for slower moving games. But I don't get into telling teams what the pace of their game must be. If both teams are moving at the same pace the entire game and now Team A wants to pick the pace up because they're losing, I see no reason that Team B must increase their pace too - along those lines, I'm also not going to allow Team B to further slow the game with obvious delays.
