[QUOTE="Riggen&Jiggen, post: 255086, member: 564"] It is completely stupid for them not to have a 10 run rule after the 4th or 5th inning. Baseball is a tough sport to tell the kids to back off. But as a coach you can pull your best pitcher and give reps to someone that needs them. Don't call bunts or steals, hold up when you could get extra bases. I would still have the kids swing away and get outs like normal. My youngest is in traveling basketball and if we get way up we tell the girls to slow down, pass the ball around and not to be so aggressive on defense. The girls understand and it does not hurt their development. There is always a right and wrong way to do something. I personally believe for a coach to keep the pedal down until the end at the elementary school level when they are destroying a team is ass hat behavior. At the same time if your getting your butt kicked by a great team that is showing good sportsmanship you don't have a right to be a ass hat yourself. You signed up for it and have to take the good with the bad. [/QUOTE]
