Please list your number 1 pet peeve in Softball

There was a coach last weekend over in Indianapolis that was pretty much in full uniform.

My (slight) peeve is parents calling pitches for their daughter at 16u and older. I would like to see teams allow catchers to call pitches more often, which would solve the problem of coaches stealing signs.

That crazy my daughter who is almost 40 years old now was calling pitches when she was playing 12 under. The only thing she was ask after a inning was why she would call a certain pitch in different situations. Your would be surprising how much she grew in game situation awareness and her ability to understand her own teams ability in different key situations. Not only that but she was very good at finding weakness in batters and taking full advantage of there weakness.

Our tournament schedule this weekend:

Saturday games: Game 1, 8:00 am; Game 2, 2:40 pm &; Game 3, 4:00 pm.

That's BS

That the kind of tournament schedule I love my player love it as well. But hey that was way back when ASA still had a true Gold division.

How about a ball over the batters head, or rolling on the ground, that the batter doesn’t swing, hearing chants of GOOD EYE, GOOD EYE!

1) teams that chant and yell obnoxiously. The players that screech at the top of their lungs and you can't even understand what they are yelling.
1A) Teams that don't know when to tone it down. When you're killing a team who has no chance of winning and the players continue to taunt and scream- especially taunting the pitcher. Know your situation. Becomes absolutely classless when your team has a giant lead.

2) Elite level teams that play at lower level tournaments. It's like buying a trophy.

From a TD observation: Hearing the constant influx of parents all yell Dig, Dig, Dig, Dig, the minute one of the girls takes off to first on a ground ball. Like somehow yelling it faster and faster will make little Joanie's legs churn at incredible breakneck speeds to somehow beat out a one hopper to the first baseman standing right on top of the bag.
