baseball

The boys have been playing baseball this summer. J is still on the team the DH coaches. It has been a rough season for them, but as I told DH last night, you do what you can with the players you've got and you hope they have fun.

They played a game last night against the best team in the league. They held their own and came back in the last inning to score 5 runs. They lost 14-9. J was disappointed. I pointed out that they scored a lot of runs at the end. He said it didn't matter because they couldn't have won anyway. I reminded him that losing 14-9 sounds a lot better than losing 14-4. He agreed. I also reminded him that he had a good game. He had some plays at second. Even if the first baseman dropped the ball and they didn't get the out, he played the ball well. Plus, he got a couple of good hits.











B is playing up in a 1st grade league, coach pitch.  I couldn't take another season of t-ball, neither could he.  It is going fine.  I have no idea if they win or lose, too many kids, too many runs to keep track of it all.  I just hope he's having fun.  This is the first sport/team he's been on where he has said he doesn't want to go to practice.  We'll have to see how he feels about it next year.
















I do love all the faces he makes when he's playing.
