Dealing with DDs
Earlier in the game, I (PU) overhear 3B coach telling his runner on 3B "don't give me the attitude, during the game I'm your coach, not your dad, and I'll sit you if you don't knock it off." This runner was a sub for a starter.
Later, with starter back in the game, coach announces he's re-entering DD (not his exact words). I repeat the numbers to him, show him what I'm marking down, and he verifies.
As I walk away, I hear behind me,
"What's with the face? Forget it, you're sitting. Blue, cancel that sub."
"Sorry, coach, it's reported, and official."
No other subs available, by the way...
Much arguing ensues (not with me)... I enjoy it immensely.
Overofficiating? I think not.
