After a year of pounding some of the above thoughts into my 12yo son's head, I think he's starting to understand that his job isn't to give the pitcher useless advice - just to help them stay focused and relaxed.

Last night he called time after our pitcher walked his second batter in a row. He went out to the mound and spoke to the pitcher for about 10 seconds - they both started cracking up and he turned and jogged back to the plate. The pitcher settled down and struck out the next batter to end the inning.

When my son got back to the dugout I asked him what he had said...

"I told him him we needed Megan Fox and he was giving us Betty White."

If this baseball thing doesn't work out I guess he has a future in stand-up.
