“Then i start hearing the chirping the next half inning about how i was too lazy to get in better position, too lazy to move from behind the plate.”
Is this chirping from the team members (players/coaches/whoever is in the team area) or is it from the fans? Obviously if it is from the fans you are going to ignore it completely.
If it is from team members, IMO you have to use some personal judgment and restraint. You have to think about the level of game you are doing. Personally, in a competitive youth game or a high school game, I might simply fail to hear a coach get in a “chirp” or two. Often they get it out of their system and life goes on. I didn’t come to the ballpark to get the coach’s approval so not having it does not bother me. I think it is important to remember that there is no need for us to try to convince a coach that we are right.
On the other hand, I do go to the ball park to have a good time and give the players my best game. If a coach’s chirping gets annoying enough to me that these goals are threatened, I am going to go have a quiet non threatening chat with the coach. If that does not work, we have other remedies. Hopefully I don’t have to but it’s really up to the coach at that point, now isn’t it?
