A few months before the end, at the last tournament, never...just don’t go to tryouts?

Leaning toward A, but it’ll come with the most harassment.

Asking for yourself, or are you trying to push the fat kid out of the line-up before shite gets serious?

Isn't that the umpire's job?

You unhappy with the coach or just smarter than most and are keeping things in perspective?

Tournaments are just getting old. My son doesn’t enjoy four games over two days anymore. Middle school ball and practice with the HS team starts after school ends, so just another focus.

I coach a travel team most of the year. It's always so predictable when the kid is soft that the dad is a beta as well. When dads quit on their son's behalf, yes that means lost money, but that means they are usually doing me a favor. But we typically make fun of both the kid and dad with the team and there's been a few instances of my players getting in trouble for bullying the kid in school or whatever.

You're smarter than most. Applaud you.

From your choices, “just don’t go to tryouts,” If the season hasn’t begun, I’d call the coach and just tell him what you just said.

The fact you coach travel ball says all we need to know about you accomplished zero in life. Probably unhappy with your job and wife.

God damn whatever happened to just playing 2 games a week after school and one on the weekends with a tournament or two after the season and maybe some extended summer ball for the serious kids. That was fun as shite growing up.
