Reply to "What do you say?"

I usually let my son initiate the conversation post-game. I found that if he had a rough game, and I try to cheer him up, he just says "Dad, don't church it up". I usually keep my comments simple ... great game, what do you think, etc. If he wants to talk about something good or bad, I just follow his lead. Generally, the game is over in his mind as soon as he walks off the field with his bag. If I noticed something specific I want to mention, I'll bring it up later. Usually anything I mention he has already analyzed and knows what he's going to do in the next game, bullpen, BP session, etc., ... he's just gotten to the point where he's so aware of his balance, mechanics, game situations, etc., that he already knows what he did and what he needs to change way before I open my mouth.

The good news is that he has a very even-keeled personality ... he doesn't get rattled, and he leaves it all on the field after the game is over.
