Just finished a LL game I was behind the plate.
Had a real sour puss coach even before the game started.
At the pre game meeting I said we will give the pitcher a warning if he balks & then start to call it. I said if he balks & then throws wild to first the ball is alive. Well he went out to get the rule book.
During the game one of his players sqared to bunt & left the bat over the plate but did not attempt to bunt. I called it a ball, & out went MR. grumpy.
On almost every call that did not go his way he was there. I know it is part of the game but he was just nasty.
When the time limit was about to expire I said this is the last batter.Of coarse he said why? And pulled his team from the field. I said not until the batter has finished his at bat, & made him put his team back on the field.
I guess the reason I am telling you this is it is the first time I really had trouble with a coach.
Can't wait for the next game.
