Coach Mom

Well let me just say WOW! First I was a little nervous about coaching Kyle's team. It was a good thing Amy was also coaching. The opposing team's coaches came up and asked if the coaches were coming. They had a total look of disbelief when they found out it was us. Then they started to flirt. Big mistake to underestimate us. The first game the kids were ahead up until the sixth inning and a 2 run homer came into play. The other coaches were smiling at Amy and she told them they better stop. They told her they were just smiling because they weren't sure what we would be doing next. The guys they can predict but not us. We had the kids running the bases pretty hard and had them shook. We lost the first game 6-11. The second game, against the same team, was an issue. Obviously they had us figured out. We also ended up having 2 kids injured and not able to play their normal spots. One had to sit out. We even ended up pitching Kyle. He pitched 4 innings and did wonderful. I think he only walked 2. The other team was terrible. They were up by 10 but held their guys so they could bring in their ace pitcher for the last 2 innings. This kid is by far one of the best pitchers in the area and we all know it. So just to be jerks they threw him. Needless to say we lost the second game. The kids did really well and played the best I've seen them play. The boys surprisingly were very ok with the moms coaching. Good thing because we will probably end up doing it tonight as well.
