Do you just "take it"?

While I agree with the last reply.......EVERYTHING was "peachy" until they started getting thrashed in the top of the last. I was really hoping the top half of the inning would hurry up and end.....and that would be the end of it.

I'm known for not putting up with a lot of bull%$*&......and I didn't, Saturday. I just wondered if what I said was out of line.

Have a good one, guys.

Just last week, I was guilty of saying something that more or less "slammed" a player for his attitude. In hindsight, as soon as I said it, I KNEW that what I'd said would only serve to throw gas on the fire, and I was right. The player approached me after the game and harassed the crap out of me.

The comment you made to the player was, perhaps, a bit out of line. It really served no purpose other than to make you feel better, and heck, I can't blame you, nor am I trying to get on your case at all. If you are questioning whether or not it was out of line, then the chances are that there was a better way to handle it. Live, learn, move on, play ball!

There are things we say, and then there's what we REALLY want to say. I've always wanted to say, "Player, stfu. You're whining like a little baby."

Snarky comments from us are sometimes funny, sometimes make us feel better, but almost ALWAYS make things worse. That said - I've been guilty of them once or twice - we all are. Just try not to stoop to their level.
