Amazing! Someone that actually gets that (if this scenario were actually real) that the OP wasn't an idiot for winning by a lot, he was an idiot for doing nothing that taught them how to actually, you know, play baseball.
Who says you cant do both? Who said he didnt?

How dense are you? The team isnt good, and generally, you attack your opponents weakness...why? because it levels the playing field. You remind me of the coaches, who like the opposing coach here, gets all pissy because he isnt winning with his superior talent. Yes, coaching matters too, and teaching the kids the most effective way to win is important. You, and the like of anyone else, aren't "owed" a victory because you have better talent. You and the rest of the milesinistas would do well to remember that.
How dense am I?
What in the holy frick are you ranting about? Why is Les Miles being mentioned? You are a lunatic

Mainieri has been underachieving. I think you should go take over at our Alma Mater. Maybe wait one day when he is sick, and we're playing Louisiana College, then ten run them and keep on stealing! You are awesome!

shouldnt be banned. dont steal while up 10 though

First, you don't hit and run when you can steal 15 of 15. You don't hit and run when the pitchers are not throwing hittable pitches. That is just the 101 shite.
And lets just disregard him teaching the pitchers to pick off when they don't have runners with leads. Hell, I don't even think LL throws out of the stretch.
Oh, and Miles is great. Figured I would throw that in there for you so you could remain on topic a tiny bit.

Oh, the OP is full of shite and this scenario didn't even happen. I'd be shocked if he even knows where they play little league in his town.

I guess you could but the OP indicated in his fictionalized experience that his sole strategy was constantly stealing because his team sucked.

You're in the right. frick em. I coached one season and decided I'd never coach kids sports again.

So in a game situation, you'd rather him tell them to do things they're not good at? assuming this is even real, of course
seriously?

Which is a lie. Little League rules are that the base runner can't leave the base until the pitch passes home plate. His pitcher can't pick anyone off because they aren't allowed to take a lead.

Oh, I know.
The whole story is a fabrication. But it would teach the kids to be men, you know picking on a less talented player...that little fricker needed to learn a lesson anyway.

blowing a team out has nothing to do with winning gracefully. Not taunting the other team after winning is winning gracefully.

In a scrimmage against another team when you're up by ten plus already? Absolutely. That's a great opportunity to learn actual skills that translate into the higher levels, which is the whole point of coaching.

Let's just review....all men are not equal, all athletes are not the same, and some people just arent good at some things.
It's called reality.

If OP hadn't run up the score the catcher would've continued dreaming of playing baseball as a pro, instead of being put in his place and getting a valuable jump start on his career as a nerd.

Let's just review
Lets review the part where an adult exposes and embarrasses a kid. I guess I view the role of the adult in youth sports to help with the development of the entire community of players, not just the kids that I have on my team. I always enjoyed watching the development of kids I coached and the kids on the other squads, nice to see them go on to successful sports lives.
So, in that respect, there is nothing to be gained by that particular strategy, it isn't clever, it isn't unique, he didn't unlock any secret code...every little league coach in the world could do it, and most don't. However, very few kids know fundamentals that could actually win games....even when you don't have a noodle armed catcher.
Or I could take the approach that winning a youth baseball game is just that important.

If only the other coach was there...THEN, THEN he could have moved that player to a different position. Remember, it's about them "learning", and playing all the positions is good for that!

Then they're failing to teach the children a valuable lesson. In life, winning really does matter.
