After a busy day and the over the top Chalker end of school year party, we took off for Brighton and 2 baseball games. Jagger played really well, so much that it’s come to be expected. He began game one as the starting pitcher and had some good moments and some not so good but overall had a solid performance. In game two, he played 3rd base, which he loves, and then short stop! While at short, he made an incredible catch spinning around and going backwards. He also had a monster hit that drove in 2 runs and almost made it to the fence. One dad told me Jag has the highest batting average on the team and is the best contact hitter we have. I don’t know about that but do know he’s hitting the ball great and is now throwing and fielding really well also.
So even though we lost to the number 2 team in the state, we gave them a good run and did a lot of great things. Problem is we still have a couple of kids who just are not ready to play at this level. You can see their frustration but they just don’t have the ability yet or have lost confidence. It’s too bad as we’re kind of stuck with them but I understand as if it was my kid, I would continue to encourage them too. I do have issues with one dad and his kid though as he said tonight that his kid is only here to socialize as otherwise he’d be in front of his computer all day. I told him my kid is here to learn and get better and win which he is. I sort of feel sorry for this particular kid who is constantly having struggles in practice and games as I think his dad is the root of the problem. I could go on and on but I’ll stop now.
We made it home by 10pm and Ty had Vinny spend the night. Today Jag is at Jen’s hanging out until 3 or so until we go to baseball practice. Not sure what all Ty and I will do, but you’ll find out tomorrow!
God Bless.
