This is proof. I've been saying this for years.

Well that's kind of ridiculous.

But I can understand a potential safety issue.

I once took on a State-level fast bowler (basically your lower college/NCAA level) in a game of cricket with friends. My skill is limited to a year or two in high school, so needless to say getting cricket balls pitched at around 90 mph isn't fun, especially when you don't have the skill level to confidently play them.

But still. Why not just let little Jericho learn to take some speed off?

Thats just it.........they said he has never beaned anyone. He has speed AND control. I bet some of the not-so-good pitchers HAVE beaned kids there. They just don't like the fact that this kid is GOOD, and it lowers the chance for the other kids to "feel all warm and fuzzy" about themselves.

That earned you another +1 Zombie.
This is SO true! Poor "Little Johnny" might get his iddy biddy fewins hurt if he strikes out. Let him bat against not so good pitchers, so he can get a hit and think he's great! You know......give him the ol' false self confidence and bad attitude. Make him think HE is whats important.
I know the way to solve this.........don't pitch at all. Just let the kid yell out what he THINKS he would get.....a single, double, triple, home run, and let them run around the bases. I mean, what the heck? They don't want to keep score anyway. But don't let them actually run the bases.....have them walk. That way they won't twist an ankle or anything. Plus, running might make the other team feel bad, and we can't have that, now can we?
In fact, why make them even show up at the ball field? Just have them get on their cell phones, and call in to say how they think they would have done. "Hey coach......this is Johnny......I think i went 4 for 4 tonight, all grand slam home runs. Plus i made a game saving catch in center field, which saved the game, 0-0 for us." And the coach would say "Thanks for calling Johnny! You're the 9th player on our team that got all grand slams tonight! We are AWESOME, arn't we? We have played 20 games this season, and are tied with the 30 other teams in our league for first place at zero wins and zero losses! Next week is our "world series", so be sure to call early to let me know how you did! Then have your Mom drive you over here to pick up your participation trophy!"
Geez......and they wonder why we have nothing but wussies now. :pottytrain1:

This kind of thing really ticks me off, hard work and talent gets you success not just showing up. It really ticks me off because last basketball season our team worked our butts off all year and we won a championship. What really ticked me off was that they still gave the other team a trophy even though we killed them.

What the hell is this? The kids that don't want to be on the other side when he pitches should be the ones who should not be allowed to play for being p***ies

In my opinion this isn't about the kids OR safety.
This is about WINNING.
The league administrators and a group of parents IMHO conspired to put together a "stacked" team that would win it all. I bet they even told everyone that this "stacked" team was randomly selected by a computer.
But guess what, the "wrong" team is winning beacause of this kid that is too good of a pitcher.
All of their arrogant plans to hoist the trophy are going down the drain unless the "wrong" team is somehow stopped.
I have an idea, will will disolve the team under the guise that it is being done for the safety of the kids.
This opens the road for the "stacked" team to win it as planned.

Believe me, I experienced this while coaching youth football.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
