I would take the API and Mid Atlantic coaching staffs over any other staff in the league. Hands down. Not even close. Can you explain why? Some of us aren’t as educated as you? Just asking for a friend! |

Just asking for a friend! B/c they teach kids how it feels to be 2nd tier. Have a kid pitch and not hit and another kid get 1 at bat in 2 March meaningless games. GameChanger is either wrong or someone lying. They’re stud got hurt, fine - but the starting pitcher didn’t hit. Pulled the other one after 15 pitches b/c they were afraid they may lose. Sure they’re middle school kids, but they should know that people only care about wins and that if they’re not a star at 14 than they’re there to make the middle school stars better. Baseball is already having a hard time keeping kids - coaches like this don’t help the game. They focus on developing 1/2 their team and rest and just there in case. |

Not aware of many if any coaches that do that in March. You need to get your kids reps. Some 14 yr olds peak now while others peak at 17. Everyone develops at different times. To not bat and play everyone in March is crazy. If it’s a big tourney championship game in July I get it but come on. This is the same coach who has overused his pitchers since 9u. Look at his back to back pitch counts. Darn near criminal.

In Pat and Scott’s defense people keep saying they pulled their starting pitchers after 15 pitches. That’s true he only threw 15 in game 2 but he also threw 21 in game 1 to close it out.
This time of year every kid is different as to pitch count and how stretched out their arms are. We have some players who we had capped at 30ish this past weekend and few others that we had capped around 50.
The thing that probably hurt said pitcher was throwing game 1 and then sitting for 30 minutes between games.
Rather see us talking about pulling arms early than having someone run a kid out there for 100 plus already.

Not talking about the kid that got hurt or the one out for the year. |

Not talking about the kid that got hurt or the one out for the year. I never commented on batting just the pitching. This sounds like an API parent is upset and if that’s the case go to the source directly and that means Pat and or Scott. Don’t know Pat as well as I do Scott but Scott will give you an honest answer but be prepared that honest answers aren’t always what we wanna hear. But I can promise you 1 thing you won’t get the real answer here….. No 2 teams are ran the same, so I have no thought process on why they did what they did. Best of luck and hope the situation improves! |

Some of you were participation trophy kids and it really shows! |

All the clowns on here are disgruntled parents that mess things up for their kids. This gets old real quick. Just sit back and encourage your coaches. They put so much time and effort into coaching your son. Be greatful for what you have.
If you don’t like the direction that the coaching staff is taking then have an honest talk with them.
Don’t be the cancer in the stands.
Don’t be the dad that pulls his kid off the team in the middle of the season.

I am not API or GAC
I don’t know those guys nor am I gonna talk any s%$t about them.
What I do suggest is you learn coach’s background and coaching philosophy. If you find any gaps or lies (and you’ll hear lies) you may want to steer clear. Let’s also consider history. The bad orgs and coaches have that same history - follow the money!!! If not fully transparent it’s not transparent at all. It doesn’t take much to see what’s under the covers - sites like these.
Bad coaches + bad parents = kids suffer
Parents are often the problem…. Parents can’t evaluate talent, not their kids’ or the rest of their teams. We as parents ruin it for the kids and coaches.
Now STFU and own your kid.
And yes, I am a parent with a kid who went thru this.

A conversation isn’t going to get that kid more than 1 at bat in a DH. It wasn’t an oversight; it’s a middle school coach putting wins in March ahead of developing all the kids that committed to his team. Baseball is slow enough, to be riding pine for months getting one off at bats ain’t fun. Just sucks, but let’s not call people that do this the best coaches. |
