youth league coach's 12 year old kid was 3-3 with a hr, single, and a triple. during the kid's last at bat, with the game 8-4 in their favor, he hit one down the line to right and could have stood up at third. his dad (coach at third) held him up at 2nd for the stand up double and the cycle.

the parents were bitching.

what is your opinion?

Would rather have a hr, single, and two triples than a hr, single, double and triple. Total bases use to mean something.

Congrats on your kid's cycle.

Also, parents will bitch about anything. Who cares as long as the kids are having fun?

How many outs? What inning? He's in scoring position at 2nd, I'm guessing last inning, and they're up 4.

Let the kid have his cycle.

Who's available in the bullpen for the other team? What batters are up in the other half of the inning? Day game or night game? And when is the next game?

With a parent like that it will probably be the highlight of his life. He can talk about it as he punches a clock at some loser job.

And if he took third and kept going and scored, parents would bitch he was running it up. Years ago when I coached, if we were up big we'd play station to station and no stealing. No sense rubbing it in.

The Cycle is almost as worthless as "wins" for pitchers

I understand. but, 8-4 in 12 years old baseball is not really up "big". that's for sure.

Sounds like another pitiful parent living their own dreams through their kids. Nothing more than a pageant dad
