You're in the right, but what you did was kind of a dick move, imho. It sounds like you are taking the game way more seriously than everyone else.

If its a scrimmage, why does it matter? The whole point of a scrimmage to work on things you have problems with before the regular season starts. If it doesn't matter score shouldn't have been kept nullifying the 10 run rule. I wouldn't have been stealing up 10 but in little league 10 runs isn't much especially if your team is below average vs a top team. League shouldn't ban for a scrimmage. It's not like you were drinking on the field.

1st of all, stealing shouldn't be allowed at that age. No catcher that age is going to throw anyone out. So all those kids that got stolen bases really have no reason to be proud of themselves.
2nd, you were on the wrong for continuing to run up the score. I never intentionally 10 run rule anyone because all it does is shorten the game and take valuable game reps for the kids on both teams. You should have taken out your stars and put in the weaker ones for more practice.
Basically you fricked a bunch of kids over
But congrats on getting treated like Hoe Torre by a bunch of 10 year olds.

If I coached against you and you continued to steal and pour it on against me... odds would be good that a few batters would start getting hit by pitches.

Your story doesn't ring true at all. What league were you in? Actual Little League? Pony? Dixie? USSA (yes they do have a "league" portion in addition to travel?
And explain exactly what you mean by "station to station". Can't leave till ball crosses the plate? Can't steal at all? Can't take leads?

Right and Wrong.
Right by being aggressive in the beginning.
Wrong by continue to steal with a 10 run lead.
I would not ban you, but I would say something to you.

Late to the party but this is a bullshite story. May have already been stated but seriously you state you have a less talented team and we are to believe the more talented team can't steal bases as well.who the hell is your catcher Joe Mauer's nephew. Be honest you go your arse whipped this way and wanna cry to the leugue just testing the OT to see how big a dueche you are.

No I was saying the kids have to play station to station baseball to be successful not that the league is that way. The league is normal rules. It's little League the age range is 10-12 some kids are almost 13 though and some are 9. As I explained before you can be "drafted" at 9 and skip the minors and go to majors.
It's 78 degrees here in ELP lovely weather for baseball.

They tried but I got their steal sign and pitched out and threw the guy out on another,and after that the team was too busy crying to run.

Anyone who is involved with baseball will eventually find himself on both sides of this situation. I, like you, volunteer my time and knowledge while not having a child that plays.
I do agree, and teach my kids that winning and competing is important. If it wasn't, they wouldn't keep score. It's a life lesson. I also teach them to respect their opponents, their coaches, and the umpires/ officials. The other side of that is that getting the living hell beat out you is not fun for anyone and is embarrassing to the kids, coaches and families.
Baseball etiquette in general, is that once the game gets out of hand from a score and inning stand point, you stop stealing bases, you stop taking the extra base, you do not bunt and you encourage the hitters to get their hacks in regardless of the count. You try to mercifully and quickly get the game to an end point.
The exception to the rule comes against teams and coaches that did what you did. If I am in your league and saw what your team did, I would not call off the dogs when my kids were 10 running you. And you would likely see my best pitching even if I could beat you with my 3rd pitcher.
ETA- depending on the skill level, 10 runs is not a ridiculous amount in this age bracket

I get it now your kid was the catcher. They shouldn't have done that to him but it's your job to pull his arse and put someone in that has more talent.

In the right, I coached a travel team prior to moving and coaching park ball is a hard thing. You were teaching the kids the how to play the game. Coaches down the road will thank you for it.

I agree I teach my kids to play every inning like it's your last. But for us to believe that his words the better team got ten run ruled did not steal a base. While his team was 15/15 stealing bases. it's hard to believe when you have a team full of kids that beg for walks they will be good enough athletes to do that
