FPINFO,

Congratulations! You have successfully trolled this topic...and pulled in some might big fish, by the way. Bad luck to you and yours in your future endeavors. Look forward to your HS coach threads and the always interesting "My DD is a freshman who should be starting over the senior" posts.

Is this DADDY BALL? I KNOW ALL!!!! the --E X P E R T S-- will respond.

COACHES DAUGHTER PLAYS EVERY INNING IN EVERY SINGLE GAME, FRIENDLIES & TOURNAMENTS.

COACH WILL MAKE A SCHEDULE TO BENEFIT HIS OWN DAUGHTER.

COACHES DAUGHTER MAKES MISTAKES AND DOESN'T SIT OUT.

COACHES DAUGHTER CRIES WHEN SHE CANT HIT THE BALL OR MAKES A MISTAKE.

COACHES DAUGHTER DOESN'T TAKE PRACTICE ALL THAT SERIOUS.

COACHES DAUGHTER AT TIMES IS DISRESPECTFUL TO HER DADDY IN FRONT OF OTHER PLAYERS.

COACHES DAUGHTER WASN'T HITTING AS WELL AS SHE USED TO AND WHY DIDN'T SHE SIT LIKE THE OTHER PLAYERS?

IS THIS DADDY BALL?

<chuckle> Hey FPINFO, I totally agree. Our coach has twins and they bat 1 & 2. Alyssa has to wait 'til number 4 to bat. Go figure....

NorCal, personally I'm just trying to keep her posting for pure entertainment value

I'd probably fit a certain type of parents definition of a daddyball coach, I give DD more time at key positions and batting order preference. I don't do this because I think she's the best player (she's among my best players but not the best) but because I spend so much time practicing with her that I know what I'll get out of her and how to correct any bad habits she picks up.
I just recently started giving another kid on my team more time at those positions and moving her up in the order and found myself asking why I didn't to so sooner. It's probably because she always plays and bats wherever I put her with a great attitude and her parents are equally positive and supportive. Her mother or father would never start and feed a thread like this.

This is your perogative because it's your team. And any parent of a stud player that is stupid enough to bring their kid to your team deserves what they get.

"daddy & mommy ball" has been an unfortunate part of youth sports forever. Heck even Buttermaker pitched his step-daughter in The Bad News Bears.

But the real question is: Was she the best pitcher on that team?

By a large margin.

The team doesn't belong to me and I won't take any stud players anyway since breeding males are by definition ineligable to play 8u girls rec softball. This thread sucks, I'm outta here.

I SEND THIS FROM THE PARK "DADDY BALL" IS SHOWING IT'S TRUE COLORS ! DADDY BALL IS THE REASON WHY MOST OF THESE GOOD TEAMS ARE GOING HOME EARLY !

I KNOW I KNOW, IT'S NOT THE (SO CALLED ) COACHING . (WE ALL KNOW THAT )

FPUNFO find a new team Get the hell out of there and go somewhere else. There are a lot of teams out there that do not play "Daddy ball". I bet as your bitching to us your probably bitching at home. Your DD does not need to see you or hear you get your panties all in a bunch over "Daddy ball". STOP BITCHING and find a new team……….

Actually, I don't want to see FPINFO's panties all in a bunch either...

8U? You're perspective is even more f*** up than I thought.

This thread has been killing me, I'm having a hard time figuring out who is trying to say what, and make what point?!
The whole thread brings to mind the trusty "infant mat"...
