I don't like the score against common opponents pick. In our last tournament we had a umpire ask us if we would quit batting so the other team could hit and the game could end. We had a runner on third and first and no outs. This could have came back to haunt us but we do not want to run the score up on these teams. Also, if you do it by common scores you are less likely to try out a new pitcher in a game . In that same tournament we gave up 13 runs in 5 games. Well I had two kids pitch for me who have not got a chance all year long to pitch. They gave up 5 runs but we kept them out there when they got in trouble to see how they would respond.
FlBaseballFan: I am not in that loop but as of Wednesday morning at 9:00 AM I have not been informed of any pull out. Last I heard we were in the tournament.
