Ok what Game management skills?

Here is the situation:

Let's say 1-1 on B1.

Next pitch is a Good hook by F1 on the outside Corner which you call strike 2 B1 takes exception.

So far no problem , HOWEVER,

He now proceeds to draw a line around the plate area and say "Hey Blue I could not have hit that pitch with a tree trunk" or something along those lines.

Now you have a player OBVIOUSLY showing you up in FRONT of the other players, coaching staff and fans watching the game.

What are you going to do?

At this point you have 2 choices

1. Dump him or

2. Possibly keep him in the game and also get your POINT across to EVERYONE that you will NOT tolerate such antics.

IMO, the aforementioned scenario is the crux of my OP.


For those that do not subscribe or think that the FYC is unethical etc. You simply dump him OR

You can send a message

Take your pick
