Since you were at many games coached by myself, you know first hand a game I was accused of running up a score in. The only kid we tried to get work in with was a Freshman that had to start on a section title contending team, and we had her bunt in her second at bat, and that was "Running up the score."
Your own kid hit 2 BOMBS that were about 300 feet with no fence, we couldnt have her stop on 2nd base while the ball was still rolling.
Look at that coach in Tampa, having his players knock people out as the other team is kneeling(im not saying we are an NFL team)
My only point is that I am not going to worry about what others do or expect us to do. I coach in a way that I feel I need to in order to get my players playing like I need them to play.
and when team is playing up and they get blasted.... then you really have no business complaining IMO.
And like I said above, my comments are not entirely accurate, we shut it down 2 times in socal 2 weeks ago... but shutting it down for me may be different than shutting it down for others.
For young players, they cant turn it on and off when they dont even understand what they are doing yet.
