What kid wants to play baseball and sit the bench all the time.. Having 10-12 kids on a team where a few sit at times is standard but whats the point for a 12 year old to play on a team where he never sees the field in game time..

It's an old man way of thinking. To them, being part of a team is all that matters. They forget that it's not 1950 and there are tons of fun things to do instead of sitting on a bench in the summer sun watching other kids play ball.

This but maybe if that kid isn't seeing enough playing time then maybe that kid should just play Rec where playing time is mandatory for all players and not play on the more competitive tournament teams where playing time isn't mandatory

Robichaux is silly. There are problems w travel ball, none of them are his assertions.


Oh and PS, shut up with the life ain't fair or life is hard bullshite. 97.8% of all Americans don't or won't experience hardships unless they make their own terrible choices. None of those choices involve baseball.


Hey boy, you are 8 we expect to see you grinding on the tee to get your three innings in the field!!!!!!!

Agreed! An 8 year old wants to have fun and has got to fall in love with the game first...by playing it. By the time they are freshman I have no problem with kids not getting PT.
