That's an awful thing for the coach to say that day. Here's some perspective for him to relate too:

A friend's son is with the MLB team to play in the final exhibition games in their home stadium before being sent to AAA. It will be his fourth season since first being called up to AAA in another organization. The MLB GM tells him to keep plugging and he has a good chance to be called up.

The kid gets to AAA. He's not in the lineup. The manager tells him, "I don't care what the GM might have told you. I play the guys I want to help me win and keep my job. He hits .350 with power and never cracks the every day lineup, loses his stroke and finishes the year at .300 in about 250 AB's.
