Did not have the best day on the field. Started hour and fifteen late due to games running long. Had to issue warnings to cut down on chirping (worked in the first two games), and then totally mishandled a coach confrontation on a balk since I enforced the penalty when apparently the guy that was there earlier in the day was only warning (should of tossed him, but I was flustered and had kinda baited him in my frustration, so I couldn't in good conscience) in the last game (balk might have been a little ooo, it was a pitcher going direct from windup to stretch without stepping off). Hung with me for a little bit, haven't been that bad in a while. Just need to shake it. Sorry if there is really no point to this, just need to get it off my chest. Live and learn.

That's not OOO. Also, don't beat yourself up - sounds like it was the coaches that had a tough day.

I know it is not, just with it being 11U, might have been a little. I still slept well last night, except for the handling of the situation. Just have to keep my head in the game.
