The Mercy Rule

[Chris8]

No disagreeing that you should be a good sport and acknowledge the situation. I just stop short of telling other coaches how they should or shouldn't coach their team. I simply don't have the information they have so I don't question their integrity.

I appreciate this perspective.

Know your goals and live to them. If you want to put up 40 runs on a team in an inning, then go out there and achieve that goal.

If your goal is 40 runs in an inning, then you are a jerk. There is very little to be learned on either side of games that are run rule games.

The team run-ruled learns they need to get better..of course they probably knew that already.

Reaction to run rule could expose a coaches attitude/approach to the situation.
Could Help people determine what team they will consider or not come tryouts.
