tgreen-I think you and your coaches have done a great job (like I said before). The only problem I see is that one of your infielders needs to quit running the ball and just throw it. You have one heck of a first baseman, so why wouldn't you have your players just make the throw???You say that you practice all the time, then why hasn't this been addressed? Last I checked baseball is a TEAM sport. As for the other teams in this division, have any of you honestly compared your players' skills to the skills of the A's players? From what I have see, most of the other teams have trouble hitting off the tee. Instead of complaining about how "stacked" the A's are, maybe you should focus on teaching your players proper batting techniques. Isn't one of the main reasons we put our children in this is so they can learn how to play the game? At this level, the main focus should be on fundamentals...Not on wins & losses...there's plenty of time for that as these kids get older. Let them just enjoy playing & quit all this whining!
