I see a big difference between D-I college in the Spring and Pro ball (Independent) in the Summer time.

1. There's no "cheerleading" in Pro ball - the players pretty much sit back in the dugout. They hardly even stand on the top step.

2. Their is a clear distinction between the manager and the base coaches. If there are any issues or discussions, it will be from the manager and NOT the base coaches.

3. Rules are easier - no safety issues, force play slide rules - etc. Game also "polices" itself so players are less likely to do stupid sh*t.

I could go on but to sum it up.... while there is less BS at the higher levels, the pressure is more intense.
