how much is too much part two

Bandits, when is enough? You hadyour 10u Bandits runup the score to 24-0 in the championship. A little overkill in my opinion.

Can you tell us exactly what they did to "runup" the score or was it a case of the opponent was simply overmatched? Did they play the game and force their opponent to make the plays for outs instead of stepping off of bases or leaving early? Did they steal on every pitch or only move up after a passed ball? Did they do trick plays?

As a coach you want your players to play hard on every pitch, regardless of the opponent.

After seeing the posts from both Conroy and his orange maniac parents, I’m not sure why anyone would want to expose their daughters and their family to that atmosphere.
I understand the water-cooler mentality from the parents who feel that their softball status is elevated with their peers if they are a part of the orange brigade and get to “woo” after several games.
But, those same parents are not completely thinking of their daughters.
Some families can overcome that lunacy.
Most cannot.
Good luck to all.
Those orange socks, though…🤣

Well, if it was 10-0 or 15-0 one may agree with you. I assume the run rule kicked in after 3 innings? So, they scored 24 runs in 3 innings. The other team probably went 3 up/3down each of their half-innings?

I mean, when the 10U coach got to 18 runs in the 3rd and decided to put 6 more on the board for good measure, a little grace would be good because 24-0 is just a bad look.

It sounds like one team was out-matched.

Maybe you should.

1. Make an adjustment to your schedule.

2. Understand that the team gets better by playing teams better than them. And that some of them actually improved from the experience.

3. Keep crying on boards when you get run-ruled.

As long as you know that the other team was crying uncle and not saying we are playing a good team my kids need to learn to play against that and not to worry about the score concentrate on each inning and see if you can improve each inning

Sorry, the second inning took 45 minutes just the Bandits half of the inning. Bandits Gross man has an excellent team, winning 8 consecutive tournaments.
The team has several kids that hit home runs with 220 fences. The team they played in the championship played well until the final game.

Most of the damage was in the 2nd inning.

Thank you for the explanation. It makes sense now.

I give credit to the 10u bandits for sticking around to play the championship game. Can't say the same for the 12u bandit teams packing up and heading home and "sharing a championship"

I really have no idea why anyone cares if Bandits shake hands and go home early where both teams had gone undefeated.
You prefer the 24-0 Championship game over two quality teams from the same program shaking hands.
Unfortunately, I'm not a licensed therapist but you need some professional help.
