ML Dad - yikes, is last summer’s win over the Hawks after losing the 3 prior match ups in addition to losing a few weeks ago all you have contribute to the conversation?
NL/Hawks game was competitive and both teams deserved to win - FO game advantage for NL limited Hawks offense.
If— and a big IF— Madlax can find a FOGO, they’ll be back to beating those two teams on a regular basis. They didn’t even make one attempt with their first two FO guys against NL. Sent an LSM out for every draw. Pretty lame. Until that’s resolved, Madlax will struggle (they still had NL down 4-2 with 4 minutes left in the game, but alas, couldn’t win a FO).
When Madlax dads disparage kids on their own team... "but alas, couldn't win."
Or how about just objective, stating the obvious, not utterly blind to the obvious. Unlike Hawks parents who are somehow under the impression their team has never ever lost a game and the kids are just the best at every single position on the field. Yet they’ve lost to like three or four different teams in the last nine months.
They’ve lost twice in nine months, but only because all their players are a year older than everyone they play. That’s why they’re good.
Honestly, all this talk on here is pretty sad. Whether your son wins or loses right now has very little influence on their future. It’s just about your ego. Chill out.
As parents you should teach your kids to overcome obstacles in life instead of complaining about things you have no control of like holdbacks and shotty officiating and other kids on the team that are selfish. Teaching your kids that with hard work and determination they can compete with and beat the holdbacks or any other obstacles. They will thank you for this later in life!!
This year you are going to see a lot of holdback due to covid. Unlike most of the parents that are commenting on this Forum, most parents care more about school then sports and had a hard time juggling work, school and other thing so instead of letting their kids get behind they held their kids back. Please take a minute and look at the amount of hold backs on the not so highly ranked teams. I think you will find that there are just as many there.
