We had a pretty bad experience last night but nothing like that. Was just a coach with a really bad attitude on the other side trying to bully our coach and the umpire (a high school kid) at an 8U game. He demanded calls for thrown bats (automatic out) in some really questionable situations as well as demanding (successfully) that swing and miss strike threes be ruled foul tips. The best part was him loudly declaring how much better his team is than every other team in the league (while acting as first base coach) because of how smart he is to make them practice defense.

Our coaching staff just wanted done with the situation so didn’t challenge him too much but the umpire ended up calling the league president down to the field. All that resulted in a 10-6 loss for us. Honestly that’s the first absolutely terrible experience I’ve had in my youth sports journey with my kids so far.
