[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] Either way sounds like the coaches "starting 5" maybe should be the starters then. Sounds like a shit coach all around.[/quote] Should NOT be the starters. [/quote] God, this forum is so insane. My kid’s team was up by 20 at halftime. Coach swapped out all starters for the entire second half. The other team cut into the lead, but reserves stayed ahead and they won. The coach made the starters run after the game because they were talking to each other, not watching the game, and not encouraging/cheering for the reserves as they worked to maintain the lead. If you think HS kids sitting on the bench and cheering teammates who are working to not lose a lead is bad sportsmanship, then I don’t know what tell you. [/quote] Then it wasn't a "blow out win" the problem is you didn't clearly explain the situation. They barely won in the end. A blowout win is like 30 points ahead as the final score. Which would be bad sportsmanship. We weren't there, just going off your poor explanation.[/quote] 30 points? Have you every watched a baseball game before?[/quote]
