I guess I could have posted this in the high school forum, but it actually applies to any rule-set, and it's generic enough that I think it fits here in Free For All better ......

Monday, ...first game of the year, I'm on the dish, partner in B .... Varsity, (home team's 2nd pitcher).....

Coach from the bench .... "Joe, you've got to stop, slow down"   This pitcher was coming close, very close, but he did have a very short pause.   Well, even after a coaches warning to him, .... he really started blowing through his sets, .... BOOM ..."THAT'S A BALK, TIME" (I echo) .....    There was some grumbling from the bench but not too much.    Until he did it AGAIN!!!    Now the bench is mad!! I'm thinking, ..what?!?

Wait a minute ..........  YOU'RE telling YOUR OWN PITCHER to stop, and slow down, but you're going to piss and moan when he blows through sets and we call him on it?!  Geeez ........ :no:

Couldn't you have just warned him? I mean, you're in the kids head now and he won't be able to pitch that no-hitter and get a college scholarship! ;)
