[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses -- good advice. I guess it's a lesson in self-advocacy.

The really annoying thing is the keep telling her she IS going to pitch this game-- and then not fulfilling the promise - either because the game ran out of time or they make a lineup change for whatever reason (maybe a close game, and they seem to perceive these 2 other girls as better.... I am not convinced they are better pitchers, but even if they are, I also don't think rec ball should be all about winning at this age).

Unfortunately my kid is pretty analytical and has decided she's not as good as these two girls, and now there's that much more pressure on her to perform (in her own head) to keep "earning" her very few pitching innings. Whereas when these other 2 girls have bad innings (and they do, a lot of times let in 4 runs and never throw a strike) it's just perceived as a bad inning for them. I think if she got up there and threw a bad inning she'd never get another chance on this rec team.

I think I am just going to consider this a wasted season, pitching wise, and go with lessons. And try to encourage her to self advocate if she really wants to pitch.
