In Iowa watching my nephew play 13U tourney. Going to live tweet this awful baseball mom from the opposing team. We& #39;re currently T3 so let me catch you up so far.
Mom& #39;s kid is the starting pitcher. She& #39;s standing directly behind home plate B1 as her kid takes the mound. Young man struggling to find the zone, she& #39;s yelling "NEED TO FIND IT."
She may want to tell her son to check a runner because so far he& #39;s surrendered 3 SBs in which the kids were halfway to second before he even broke his hands to start his delivery.
T2 her son comes up to bat and hits a sinking liner. RF dives, narrowly misses, ball gets to fence. Young man makes his way to 3rd at which point mom celebrates with a muscle flex and a Ric Flair directed at us opposing fans.
B2, her son still on the mound. First baseman misreads pop foul by 1st base dugout. She says rather loudly
"AW COME ON JORDAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD THAT! YOU COULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT."
To the kids dad "HEY RICK, IM GONNA GIVE HIM SHIT LATER FOR THAT."
"AW COME ON JORDAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD THAT! YOU COULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT."
To the kids dad "HEY RICK, IM GONNA GIVE HIM SHIT LATER FOR THAT."
B3 her son comes off the mound to catch a pop foul. Nice play to be sure. But mom celebrates with a Tiger Woods style fist pump and a Jack Black "YEEEEEAAAHHHH." Then jokes about how she& #39;s staying active to sweat out the booze.
T4 Another kid (not hers) comes up to bat and hits one in the 5 hole. She proceeds to scream "DON& #39;T LOOK AT IT, RUN"
Side note: this version of baseball is awful. Opposing team just ran a forced balk in which the kid on 1st clapped the whole way to 2nd. We were tied at 2 in the 3rd...
Mom is evidently a sideshow all her own. She just sprinted after a foul ball and then sprinted it down to the dugout because...ya know...time limit.
Now we& #39;re holding runners on 3rd!
Sadness in Mudville as my nephews squad walks it off.
Thanks for all who followed along last night. At the end of the day, be a good parent. Cheer for your kid, support his teammates and be respectful to the opposing team.
