This is like the time Nate had to purposefully strike out because they were going to lose anyway, and they wanted to get home in time the watch “The Simpsons”.
Nate, prepare for your butt to be hurting from two things: Your teammates’ happiness for slapping you one for the great suggestion, and from the coach for kicking it for the suggestion!
That’s how it was when our kids played summer sports: parents organized the money pot and the kids had a pizza and ice cream party after the last game. The money also went for the obligatory trophies, and a gift for the coach. The restaurant sponsor made up the difference if we were short at the end.

The “just get through six innings” mentality is the mentality of almost all the bad little league teams that play.

Nate’s leadership is like a piece of rotten fries/old socks, in the way that it stinks.

Maybe the Chicago White Sox should try this. (Lost their 100th game Sunday; on track to be worse than the 1962 Mets).

Oh, no. Coach is going to end up spending 40 + dollars for pizza, even if they lose — as Francis puts it — “Ten – Zip”
