[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son’s team last year played it competitively and so my son and two other kids sat.  For 36 consecutive innings.  They each got 1 maybe 2 at bats, so technically they played, but as a parent it wasn’t fun to watch.  Did a number on his self esteem, honestly made him want to quit playing baseball.  I would have been fine with it, but the other kids who did play a lot weren’t significantly better.  [/quote]

Same here. The same 3 kids sat every inning of every game- through pitching changes, blowout scores, etc. It was really discouraging for my son given he committed his whole summer to play on this team. A few kids were standouts in the field for sure but defensively there wasn’t much difference between the rest. It isn’t as if these 3 (or nearly all kids who make a LL all star team) were unable to catch a fly ball or field a grounder and make routine plays FFS- all 3 play on travel teams as well.  I think the newer rules are actually worse in terms of playing time…[/quote]
