If you are going to allow the aforementioned in one of your games - Go ahead. All that can come out of this is ugliness. The object of the game of baseball is to try and score more runs than your opponent not to Give them outs.

I do not have a problem if I have to stay there "all day" as long as the teams are indeed playing the game of baseball.

The reason the HT coach is employing the tactics he did is to EXTEND the game. He was not playing the game of baseball. In fact IMO it is the coach who is "cheating"

When there's only 3 minutes left on the clock and the team is employing shenanigans then it's time to go home because if the HT played the game the way they should in the first place the game would have indeed ended after 6.
