>> Or had every other team burned up its pitching by the time they played you? <<
What would that have to do with the opponents scoring runs. And are you saying the Houston Storm and RR Blaze are cake walk teams.
Regarding the Glory team, I wanted to award our game ball to their coach. He had that pitcher's spirit broken with his comments to her - someone said 'well, hey, thats his kid', as if that made it ok. I noticed as he kept talking trash to his own pitcher, the other kids on his own team started doing the same to their teammates. Sad, but that stuff trickles down. They looked a lot better than they showed. No doubt they were missing some players too - is that what you said about the other teams. Our top hitter broke her wrist on Saturday night - oh wait, we didnt need excuses, the other girls stepped up like they are taught.
People ask us why my kid plays up most of the time - this kind of crap is why. At the older age groups, you play, you kick some butt, you get your butt kicked, no excuse machine around. Just play the game.
