Another Room-temp IQ coach

This is softball, but I deem it apropos for this august body.

Coach Ratso for the Scabs has been chirping on balls/strikes for a good 2-3 innings. I am BU; my partner doesn't do anything, so I pass it off. The comments are getting loud enough to where I can hear every word. I put this in the hard drive. Feh.

About an inning later, the Scabs are batting and their R2 flagrantly leaves the base early on the pitch (per the rule, I kill the pitch and bang her out). Ratso happens to be coaching at 3B.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!??" screams Ratso. I am in deep "C."

"THAT'S AN OUT!" I reply, matching his decibel level. Now, this is the only play in LL softball where umps kill the pitch; it just cain't be anythin' else.

Ratso: "WHY IS SHE OUT?"

Me: "RULE 7.13." And I trot back to slot "A."

After the game, an idiot site director asked me why I was so "hard" on Ratso. I said, "I'm not explaining a rule to anyone who isn't nice."

Leaving him ... and my nancy-boy partner, who let Ratso drill his zone for the whole game, I mount my steed and hightail it to the Sons of Sweden for a pint of Stella.

Exeunt.

Ace

Triple Crown Tourney, 13 and under. FIRST time this town had ever hosted a baseball tourney of any kind. Bottom of first catcher sets up about 7-8 inches off the plate, pitcher hits the glove, I ball it. Catcher sets up in same spot again and again pitcher hits the glove, I ball it again. From the dugout I hear the coach, whose team has never played in that town before, "Man we never get any calls in this town." Made me chuckle.

I had one very similar - I'm BU, top of 1st, leadoff hitter, I have a nutcutter at 1B and I bang the out. From the 3B coaches box: "Aw, c'mon Blue, BE CONSISTENT!"

Some coaches only know a few phrases and no idea when to appropriately use them.

I got this in the middle of a game this week. Walked over to the dugout and said calmly: "I just heard someone over here say "both ways, blue." If this individual really believes that I'm cheating, I'd like to discuss it right now. Otherwise, kindly refrain from these accusations."

No response.

It was quiet after that.

Don't you just love it!!

The pitch is right down Broadway, Aunt Myrtle could hit it. Johnny just lets it go right by. Rat yells from 3rd base box, " Not your pitch, Johnny!!".
