My senior year in baseball we were getting beat pretty bad one game. About the 5th inning, we're down by around 8 runs or so, and the other team is still stealing bases. I didn't even think twice about it, nor did any of my teammates, until their coach gave a half-azz apology to our coach, saying they needed to practice stealing bases. We had a decent team (won conference that year), but had a poor game that night. Personally, I would have rather heard the coach say he didn't feel the lead was safe; or rather he not said anything.

I agree. I will not stop coaching them from the bench, but I will not call a TO, call a set play, press, or anything like that either. I just want them to play our style of ball and do so as good as they can.
