Language

[moblue]

Since when has using foul language in HS baseball games become acceptable? I'm not nieve enough to believe that the coaches and players would never really swear, but isn't everyone involved supposed to watch what they say? I called a JV game last night where the VT coach dropped an f-bomb in normal conversation where myself, my partner, and the home team coach were all standing together (pre-game conference basically). Then an assistant coach from the same team was talking to me conversationally and dropped another f-bomb. I didn't ej because I no one seemed to care. After today's incident I had where I ej'd a coach for language in a 10 yr. old tournament, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only person in my area that cares what coaches say.

The key here is it was in normal conversation.

You can not control how people speak in normal conversation but you can control how they converse with you about the game.

I agree with sempre fi, let it go if it's between the group of you. If he throws it across the infield you have to take care of it.

I had a buddy working U16 USSSA and the manager comes to the plate meeting and conversasionally says,"How the are you?" My buddy told him he might want to calm that down, they don't cotton to that. The coache replies," What the do you mean?" :D
