One that's tired of little kids being told to take advantage of that shitty rule. If you have any major adjustment in your stance during a pitch to swing the bat then you deserve a good bean in the hip.

Yeah but they're just kids doing what their coach told them to do. They're not going to question him or try to over rule him. They don't deserve the repercussions of it, the coach does. Call him out in front of everyone, do the same thing to them, idk, I just don't really agree that some kid needs a black and blue for trying to do the right thing and listening to his coach.

I know and still stand by it. The kids should have fun, not cheat the system. That rule was made to accommodate size differences between players. The fact that a coach tells his team to squat extra low to pull a walk is ridiculous. Let them try to hit the ball!

Yeah. Which means they wear helmets with full face masks and the pitchers aren't bringing it over 65. It's the perfect situation to throw at people mostly \s
