I would have called timeout and had a quiet private conversation with the catcher's coach and my partner. I would have told the coach that if the catcher did not start doing her job that I would eject him from the game. Sending a player, who has never played the position including in practice, to play the catcher's position just proves what an idiot the coach is.

No good coach would put his player in this position. As you said, we are not backstops.

Its Rec League and thats a little harsh for how I personally TRY to approach this league. I've been a coach, umpire, UIC and involved a long time. I dont really have a lot of the walls up that I have at a tourney. I'll talk with coaches, explain rules, and do various things on a level I would never do at a tournament with a travel team.

That said, I did get ticked off at the girl

I get hit plenty even with the "real" catchers on the team.
