Last night I was hoping that TN. would bunt every time at bat, just to make OK. have to handle the ball. So, we just don't know. An infielder could have been back a little far, or something.

You seem to have all of the answers. Why don't you throw your hat in the ring?
hi everyone , tell me what u would of done with 2 games away for a shot at the state title!!!!!!
its the bottom of the 7th and we r down by 1 , 1st hitter up w/ batting avg 421 hits hard grounder to ss error ! no outs runner on 1st , next up is my dd with avg. 484 , 1st pitch she fouls off hard to the back stop! , then a ball , catcher throws to 1st and hits our girl in the helment and she is out cool and not moving , few minute she gets up and the coaches put the fastest runner on that was pulled up from JV !!!! my dd next pitch lays down a bunt down , she out at first but the runner is now at 2nd & we have 1 out. Next up our DH w/ avg 523 , first pitch ball, 2nd ball !!!
2-0 the next pitch she starts to square and lays down a BUNT !!!! 3rd base throws to 1st 2 OUT. the girl at 2nd rounds 3rd hesitates and gets thrown out at home.!!!!!!!! the part that in cant understand???? our next girl
up next W/ avg 4.71 just missed the fence her last time up by foot!!!
any one of of those hitter could and would of made it happen!!!
we had our best hitters up!!!! 4 hitters w/ batting avgs 4.21- 5.23 that's AWSOME !!!! WHAT WAS THE COACH THINKING !!!! runner at 2nd and 1 out hit ,hit! and with the DH with 500 +avg. and next girl went to the fence last time!
!! in the car ride home I said why did u bunt ? she said coach give 1 pitch mom, I fouled it off and then I had to bunt her to 2nd ! i'm fine with my dd did her job!!! but bunt the DH and send the runner at 2nd home!!!! and it was over 3 outs .!!!! and we still had 2 more power hitters up !!!
after the game my dd had travel practice and she took the lose like champ but I just want to tell coach!! that she pounded 7 over fence at 250 ft right after that COACHING DISGUST !!!!!! She ask to hit away but no !!!!

There is a lot that goes into coaching. Putting up with parents with selective memories is just part of it.
... the whole team is softmores and freshmen, 3 seniors& 1 only plays . we need to start finding better coaching at the high school level. every single member of this hs team is playing travel ball, some play more competitive but it the parents that made these kids the team they r and we get dad and teacher to lead then to next season !!!!!
