We have a couple guys on our team that "band together" if things start going badly on the field and they sit and tear other team members down and put themselves at a whole different level even know they are making errors and pop-ups as well. Delusions of grandeur......Plus they start monday morning quarterbacking the manager on eveything. How do you handle this??
Do you play for fun?

I agree with everything but the bold. Don't wait...if it's an issue (which it obviously is, or you wouldn't have posted this thread), deal with it immediately.

Plus, it makes for a real kodak moment you can use for your flyers you'll post when looking for replacement players. Win-win.

Ya got 2 options.... (A). get rid of their asses now, or (B) Next time they do it in the dugout, TELL THEM TO STFU in front of everyone... they will either quit, or stop complaining...

I think this is why I would go with (A) if I was the coach.... Ive been on teams like this in the past, and they usually break up before States.

I think they'll not only quit, but give him all the money in their wallets to compensate him for their brashness and inconvenience.

If you are not the coach, tell them GFY and if they are not outperforming the others on the team tell them that and to STFU. If you are the coach, talk to them 1 on 1 and warn them that if they don't change then you will have to move in another direction b/c they are messing up the chemistry of the team.

I like to keep stats. Lots of em.......
Stats tell you:
They are also the arch enemy of people who like to run their mouths! They usually hate cold, hard facts.......
Stats tell you:
- Who's doing what
- When they're doing it
- Who they're doing it against
- What they're not doing

I second the stats also like to call them out everytime they mess up. Had a couple guys with holier than thou attitudes in the past and found it best to greet them after we get off the field with a "shake it off you cant catch them all" or a "wow that routine grounder was a tough one" or my favorite on a overcast day "did the sun get in your eyes on that pop up?" Those types get pissed and then they shut up. But say it in a way that they cant really come at you, like "hey its alright that you missed that ball it happens to us all".
Same Reason my team keep stats.
