I have a new one from coach
Coaches generally chirping in first inning that pitcher is pitching illegally. This pitcher is REALLY bad, getting no help from her legs and basically using all arm to try to aim the ball in. REALLY painful to watch, and I know this is going to be a walkfest. But coaches keep going.
Finally he calls time and asks to speak to me.
Wants an illegal pitch called because pitcher is not pushing off. Rules say she must push off from the pitcher's plate. She's not pushing off at all. Must be illegal!
Whatever.
