Money Ball

[RKBUmp]

Worked a tournament this weekend where numerous coaches appear to have watched the movie Money Ball and taken it way to seriously. They apparently spend all their time in the batting cage and none actually practicing playing the game. They could hit the ball great, but couldnt field a ball, catch or throw to save their lives. And, absolutely no situational awareness at all.

Yes, offense wins games. But, if you cant at least occasionally stop a ball and get an out, what good does it do to give up just as many runs to the opposition?
