Why are you here? I'll get to the point. If you don't like us, leave. It's quite obvious that you don't want to join any discussions, you just want to pi$$ and moan. So let me give you what you deserve - phuck off!

I had a brief discussion with a 1B coach today from Connecticut who said something about how warm and beautiful the weather was today and how cold it was back in Connecticut. I told him that this was a typical day in late October around here and he laughed. He existed, briefly.

Later, I had a close call on a a force at 2B that the assistant coach at 3B (from the other team) wanted to argue about. He didn't exist. He tried to talk to my partner when I wouldn't and my partner would not talk with him either. Head coach finally came out of the dugout and my partner and him had about a 10 second conversation and that was the end of it. It was an inning ending play so the conversation occured while the sides were changing.

Rats are rats when they want the cheese to themselves.

As some one so aptly said, "assistant coaches are there to pat players on the a** coming off the field and say 'good eye, Johnny'"

Dats about it.

When I was a RAT, I expected my assistants to be very involved with practice and pre-game preparation, offer advice during the game either solicited or not, and coach 1B. I generally took 3B. I expected more from them than you do, but I did not expect them to have discussions with umpires, of which I was also one, on different fields, and we were pretty clear about that.

Assistant coaches are there to say "turn left."

The more advanced ones are also there to drive the bus.
