Mockery of the Game???

We've been through this before. What difference does it make when the batter swings? I've had blow out games where the winning team was swinging at pitches in the dirt just to get the inning over with. As long as that's all the team is doing and no one is mouthing off, let it go. When the cry-baby coach starts the water works, remind him that his team can do the same. Just don't let it go any farther than swinging for the strikes.

PS - The reference to the blow out games is because here in CT, the State FED board has no Mercy Rule for High School games because the Head Coaches vote it out every year at the State meetings.

Unlike football, but that's a horse of an entire different color. Ozz, I had a blowout in a middle school game yesterday- do CT middle schools have a mercy rule?
