Meant to start a thread on this earlier after a couple incidents this summer, but last night should be a good topic starter.
I'm starting to think that alot of players in todays era, professional and college, don't know how to properly police the game.
Taking the entire 2 day Youk situation into account, I don't think he understands what all of that stuff entails.
(The pure idiocy of him charging and getting suspended when his team needs him now more than ever is for another thread)
Do coaches in the minors talk about what it is to let the players police themselves? How often does it happen at the lower levels?
IME, too many players don't understand what policing themselves actually means. More often than not idiots take things to a whole new level.
Please share some stories, they are always fun to tell. I've got a few, and a great lesson from watching a friend handle 2 days of plunking in a AAA game.
The catcher was a GA at one school I played at. Take note of him from the 2:30 to 2:40 mark. Wowza. This took place in Canada, and London (team that threw bat) is known for pulling bush crap all the time. If the batter knew what that purpose pitch was for, he wouldn't have thrown his bat.
