The rule states that a request for an intentional walk can now be made prior to or during the at-bat by the...- CoachJ5513

How many players are too many?
I was once asked how many pitchers a team should carry. The answer is "2 is too many and 5 is not enough" As far as how many players a team should carry ... after 10 U, to make sure you are able to field 9 players you should probably carry whatever age group you play, i.e. 12-18 its hard to...- CoachJ5513

Once a check swing has been ruled a swing by the plate umpire, can that decision be changed?

What the #$%#$@?? Ump on the fritz!
I had a Texas 2A regional final game (NFHS) where the batter boxes were 4'x6' and about a 3" river I let the coaches know at the plate conference that I would be enforcing regulation box and that batters would be reminded to maintain 6" from plate- CoachJ5513

My absolute favorite is when a coach argues that his intent was for the flex to run for his DP... sorry coach, she can pinch run but not courtesy- CoachJ5513

Batter hit by pitched ground ball.
If a batter is hit by the ball "outside" the batters box then the pitch is a "dead ball - ball" or a "dead-ball strike"- CoachJ5513

Terrible human being
I would consider that unsportsmanlike like behaviour and confine that coach to the dugout. I always try to avoid a parking lot ejection, and never argue in a confrontational stance (chest to chest, squared up, etc). Call time, walk to the offending coach,and have this convo shoulder to...- CoachJ5513
