[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing this could be Babe Ruth or Juniors Little League baseball, where the spread is indeed a mixed 13-15 age group.

One thing I’ve noticed from my own son playing travel baseball and watching high school games, the amount of trash talking obnoxiousness is incredible from the high school-aged kids. I don’t know what it is that makes them act like that but it’s a big difference between the middle school set and HS. [/quote]

This is true.

Which is pretty ironic for those 15 year olds playing Babe Ruth in April.  Bc it means they didn't make their HS club[/quote]

That sucks.   My kid played basketball, and his experience was that the better the team, the more supportive good players were of younger/developing players.  The best coaches he had insisted on that culture, and anybody who failed to support teammates ran a lot of laps.  One coach made the starting five run a ton of laps after a game because they weren’t cheering for the reserves playing at the end of a blowout win. [/quote]

I would hope the cheering would be muted at the end of a "blow out win" out of respect for the other team. Am I misunderstanding this? Were the kids being good sports and coach wanted them to be jerks?[/quote]

NP here. I read it in that PP’s team was on the losing end of the blowout and the coach put in the reserves because they weren’t going to win anyway. [/quote]
