Ever since I began posting here last winter,everyone has been very helpful,so I come to you guys again with a problem.
The whole season I was given all the right signs.I worked extremely hard(and continue to do so)to make sure I am the best catcher I can possibly be.
This summer I have started a total of 1 game at varsity.The reason this bothers me is because I know Im better then the guy he is starting.Just last night he had 4 past balls.Now he is not giving me the time of day,and continues to start the opposition.Its not a case of he just wants to give him playing time,he really has bought into him now.
I know this sounds like I am a bitter teammate who has been beaten,but its not the case.Even the pitchers dont like him behind the plate because
they dont have the confidence to put a slider or changeup in the dirt anymore,since his blocking is so-so.Last night was the brink for me,I have had enough,As I saw the lineup made,again without me in it,I was fuming.As I watched his At bats,I watched him K twice,and pop out once.I have never been more angry from a baseball standpoint.
I havent even been given a shot.I was never given the job to lose,or to win.Coach continues to play a guy I know I am better then,the people in the stands know Im better then,and most of all,my teammates know Im better then.
Ive just had it.
