It isn't the cheating, it is all the whining when someone gets caught and then runs at the mouth trying to justify their stupidity. :o

You're comparing youth softball to professional football?

8-) relax a bit don't mean it so literally. What I am saying is if there is only one blue were getting good jumps on the bases and push everything to the max. Swaping jerseys and fake birth certificates now that's bad and cheating lol.

2 Umpire Mechanics ... bases loaded, catchable fly ball to the outfield but towards the gap ... As a Coach, do you instruct R3 to intentionally miss 2nd base to gain an advantage, advancing possibly to home ... knowing that the Blues will probably miss it ? ... And if you do, is that cheating ?

What makes you think I'm going to miss it?

And if done intentionally, yeah, it is cheating. Of course, it is also stupid.

The bad part is the moaning and whining when the umpire makes the call when appealed. Hey, it wasn't the umpire that screwed up. Your team did something stupid and the other team and umpire saw it, so STFU and sit down.

I, of course was speaking hypothetically ... I was not referring to those who are able to see all ... The reason I brought it up is that it has been bothering me since a player on a local university team told me that this is what they were being taught to do in certain situations ... usually when the Blues had to be looking at several things at one time ... I agree, stupid & cheating ...
