Parents please don't be rude

My dd got hit while up to bat playing against East Rowan last night hit her in her right forearm while loading up to swing. Blue did not put her on said it was a strike. Ok got over that one. Got up to hit again same thing. Blue called time to see if she was ok this time and no she was not ok we thought maybe it was broke. So she went to sideline to put ice on it and take some meds. Now she is taking a minute to do this while she is trying to get herself together the East Rowan parents are screaming lets play ball. Just wondering how all of you would feel if rudeness was being hollared at your dd if at the time you thought she had a broke arm and had to go back out and finish her bat because she would not take a out for her team. Not only that but not one coach from the other team even came over to see if she was ok which really does'nt surprise me with the way thier parents were acting.I will tell what I would have done if they were at are school. I would have went and seen if they needed anything and I know are coaches would have went over to see if thier player was ok.Just curious?

 

Parents are the worst part of this great game!

We had some parents acting like a mob at a game in Alexander last week. Calling the other coach names and blaming our lack of play on the other coach and the umpires. This great game we love will become one we hate if the parents don't get their act together and remember that it's about the kids and them having fun. If they stop having fun they WILL stop playing. So, Parents get your act together and lets get back to what it's supposed to be about. Our kids.

 

Question?

Was she swinging when she got hit? Even if she was that is no excuse for behavior like you described...just wondering why she wasn't awarded first base???

 

NOPE --- Don't Think So !!!

Sorry posted on wrong thread !!!

 

She got hit while loading to swing if good pitch was thrown.Blue must not know what loading up is bad pitch no swing I am not sure why she did'nt get first base. Help me understand blues theory?

 

Maybe...

Blue didn't think she made an attempt to get out of the way??
Its all open to personal interpretation...

 

Wow!!

If she wasn't swinging at the pitch I can't help you with a theory. I hope that your daughter is ok from being hit.

Unfortunately, it seems that in our society and the realm of "political correctness" these days, more and more behavior that you described has become the norm rather than the exception. From parents fighting parents to parents attacking umpires and opposing coaches, there seems to be an overall lack of respect for other people and what, at one time, was deemed radical. There are many things that this can be contributed to, but the one thing that I look at is the lack of discipline that is being taught at home. We can blame teachers, administrators or whomever we like, but discipline has to be taught at home.

I grew up under the watchful eyes of great parents that taught me to respect my elders and people in authority over me, i.e., coaches, teachers, umpires, etc. My dad is ex Navy and I still say yes sir and no sir, but there are very few young ladies that come into my travel ball or high school program that ever say yes sir, no sir or thank you for that matter. Parents let them run rough shod over them at home and then tell them that they don't have to be under anyone's authority if they don't want to be. Unfortunately, those attitudes and behaviors of the current generation are coming out in unprecidented numbers...watch Court TV and see what I mean, folks don't even respect the Police anymore and they have guns!!

It sounds like you and your child did the right thing, by not responding to the craziness of other folks...the world doesn't judge you by the things that happen to you, but by the way that you "react" to the things that happen to you. Until people realize that their actions have adverse effects on them and their children, they will never change.

 

Remember who's listening & watching!

Had a situation in yesterdays game tied 2-2 bottom of the ninth runner on second. Very good right handed batter at plate, umpire calling outside off the plate for strikes, both ways. Our pitcher and catcher had been getting the girls out with this outside pitch. Pitch was outside, middle-low in strike zone and the batter did a great piece of hitting pulling the ball over the left center field fence, for a two run homer, to end the game. I stood and applauded the kid and turned to the kid's mother and said what a great hit. Now I'm no saint and will be equally as nasty if wronged. I later expressed my self about this kid's great at bat to my child and another team mate and they agreed with the same. As I get older I guess that I'm learning it's not always going to be about me or mine. Congratulations to the home run hitter and her team, I'm sure you will always remember that day.

When you say "sideline", what do you mean. was she in foul territory or was she on the bench. If she was on the bench receiving treatmant then they should have entered a sub and got the game going!!!!

 

She was on the sideline she had to go back out and finish her at bat or take a out.
