Most people feel that this was not handled well by the parents. But what can you do?

I'm sure you've thought about this, but the one comment i'd make about using a game against a great team as a learning experience is that if you have kids that are coming along and working hard to improve their pitching skills, and the first time you put them out there its in a situation where you know they're going to get killed, you risk hurting their confidence and motivation to continue working so hard to improve.
Of course I have thought about this. The question is what puts our team in the best position to win and I'm not sure what the answer is here.
