Game time on scoreboard

Come to think of it, if the home coach in my first story was smart, he could have told his girl to step on the plate and bunt the ball. But he had to try to accomplish in 3 pitches what he could have done in one.

I had one girl step in front of the plate and bunt the ball 3 times in 2 games this w/e. She was playing 12U but looked like a 9 or 10 y/o who couldn't do much else but bunt and her coaches told me nobody's ever called her on it. But at least they understood that she needs to fix that problem.

I guess the fall is the time when some of these teams break in the girls that are just rising to the next level but this 10 y/o wasn't quite ready for the next level.

Firstly, In Indiana NSA ball, we stop the clock for time outs in the last 10 minutes.

Secondy, The easiest way to accomplish a legitimate out when batting is to switch batter's box while pitcher stats to pitch.

Drag out rule 5-4-E on them and watch the expression on their face.

My feelings exactly! Where the clock is part of the game, the teams' management of it should be also.

This is why I was disappointed a few years ago when ASA barely took time to consider the proposal to change their "time limit" games to 75 minutes plus one inning.

Hey DTQ, I was there too.

I had one really bright pitcher who knew how to milk 2 minutes and some seconds off the clock. After each pitch, she moved the dirt around so it would not bother her when she pitched. Of course she pitched the next pitch within 20 seconds. Great girl. Loved every second of it. Smart one.

Well, no. If YOU were smart and the girl did this, game would be over. I'll leave it for you to figure out why.
