Watching the LL game between Great Lakes, In.
and Oceanside, Ca. tonite, and really got upset. I saw a coach (Great Lakes, In.) put a win ahead of his players. He has twelve 11-12-13 year olds on that team that got him there. His team is down 1-0, having a no-hitter thrown at them. Top of 6th, three (3) players still on bench that have not seen action. By LL rules all players must play...three consecutive outs or bat once. This is mandatory. No real options. Play em or the game shall result in foreiture. He knew this because the TV people talked to him. He got lucky and got the, his win. He knew the forfiet would not matter if his gamble did not pay off, cause they would have lost 1-0 anyway. What happens if he lost that gamble? Three kids sat on the bench that practiced daily for this guy. They went through district, sectionals, areas, state regionals and now World Series and this clown does not let them have their chance. This coach should be barred all of next season. MPO, but should be others also. glen
