When the game is out of hand celebrating an on-field accomplishment is a bit different than a close game. Congratulate her when the inning is over off the playing field. How would you have felt if the opposition had hit the change up for HR and the coach reacted as you had?
I would have been fine with it. And would have zero problem with the other coach celebrating in kind. Especially if it had been a HR. And again, I realized the optics and apologized. It was almost involuntary of a reaction. Not like I kept cheering at every strike.
If the hitter sat on the change up DD threw and hit it deep.....then well done. The hitter did her job. I’m okay with that. Good for her.
You have to understand I often applaud/recognize other teams plays as well. A great play is a great play.
This was a back-to-back where this same team beat us 4-3 just prior. And had hit a bomb off our other pitcher. It was a great hit and I said as much out loud to the same 1B coach. That hit actually brought in the winning run(s).
