Message: [QUOTE="Doc5120, post: 1267765, member: 3594"] I'm mixed on this. Guys in MLB who try stealing a base or turning a single into a double, in say, an 8-1 game in the late innings are seen as "breaking the unwritten rules of the game." So if the pros can't or shouldn't be doing it, then high schools probably shouldn't be either. But on the other hand, you want your kids to practice and compete hard in games. I'd definitely advocate for taking off the press after I've got a comfortable 60-1 lead. I've been on both sides of some serious blowouts, but in almost all of those cases, I don't think the line of poor sportsmanship was crossed. I guess it's not as black & white as it may seem. [/QUOTE]
