My First Forfeit

Don't know if I would have tossed the coach for such a simple statement, but definitely get a nice lecture

He got the lecture in the first game. AND the pre-game meeting. My tolerance for planned "payback" is damned low.
Edit to add: Maybe it was a quick hook, but I'm not willing to work a game with a coach that's made clear his intentions like that. Turns out, I didn't have to.

My lecture usually includes waiting for the police to take my statement and making sure I am available to testify in any criminal case or civil suit which may occur.

Ah - now I see where you're going with that. I like it.

Had this in a 12U or 14U trny a few weeks ago: I am PU, left hand batter, R1 on 1st, low & inside pitch, catcher slides left to block, R1 goes to 2nd, catcher gets up to throw & batter is standing in the box just watching, catcher doesn't throw, looks at her coach with her arms out, coach yells "c'mon blue, that's interference", I tell him "not so coach, batter was in the box, didn't interfere" ... then coach tells catcher "Hey Susie, next time just drill her in the head."

Me and the coach had a quiet, private conversation. He saw the light and ack'd he shouldn't have said that.

Unfortunately, that type of remark from "coaches" about throws, INT, OBS, etc. happens fairly often and my "quiet, private" is more of a lecture with finality than a conversation.
