Thanks all for the input. We will continue to see the season through. Like I said, my son is making it near impossible to be kept out of the line-up so his playing time is good. He does seem to take some heat just for being him (better than the coaches sons). He's tough skinned and let's it roll off usually. He is feeling bad for some of the other kids. Last week, coach called time after a pitch out that the C didn't throw down and yelled at the pitcher (in huddle) that he needs to throw harder and that he threw better when he was nine??? What's up with that? Again,thanks for input. Hoping there was a magic solution but I guess you just chalk this up to a learning experience.
