It's the seventh inning of a tie ball game. Bases are loaded with 2 outs. Who would you rather be (or who would you want your daughter to be)? The pitcher or the batter?
If my DD had just come in as a relief pitcher, she would want to pitch and not be a bit shaken about the bases being loaded, she always gives it her all on the mound and she also realizes that anything can happen in a ball game.
softballkim - Tell your daughter nice comeback, i've seen it done.
The terminators - I know how you feel, my DD has been in this position more than once, sometimes she wins, sometimes the batter wins, that's why the game is fun to watch!
thunderbolt_mom - I believe I know who your DD is and, having seen her pitch, I'm sure her being on the mound in this situation is the best thing. I do understand your feelings however. I've done my share of pacing during these types of scenarios myself. We had one just two weeks ago with our team ahead by 1 in the 7th, the home team at bat with runners on second and third with only one out and my DD on the mound. I did my share of pacing but they pulled it out for a win. I do however enjoy this type of game much better than a blowout, no matter which team wins.
I'm a pitcher and I have been put into that situation, and have done a good job at getting the team out of the situation. It's a tough situation to be in. For anyone who has a daughter thats put into that situation, I wish her luck. But, I think I would like to be the pitcher in that situation.
Thanks BucketDad - I'm sure she'd rather be on the mound than in the box. ;D
I guess my point was my kids NEVER cease to amaze me - yes, I claim all of the girls on our roster as my own - and they do give 100% most of the time; however, I know my own personal limitations and I think I'd be better doin laps! haha
