Baseball is a game of skills, techniques and mechanics...not what you feel.
After every game win or lose 4 for 4 or 0 for 4 the discussion is about what techniques were used, not used, about mechanics of the swing, location per pitch, things like that, etc.
After as shut out or a blow out, the discussion is about where was the plant foot, did he stay inside the knee, did he stay behind the ball...and on and on, ad-infinatum, etc.
My son knows what the discussion is going to be since it hasn't changed since he was 8 years old.
Sometimes he has done a good job of tracking his in-game progress and sometimes he hasn't. But one thing is certain when he didn't it showed.
When it is all said and done, the level of conversation is about improving or digressing. That's at the root of every conversation I have with him, and not only about baseball.
Feelings have nothing to do with it.
