So on the walk to the braves gang he starts talking about how he wants to focus on pitching (doesn’t care shot hitting BUT still wants to be able to when called upon [what!?]. He’s going to get ChatGPT to give him a workout plan, he wants a pitchers bag so he can put ask the warm up stuff in it, he’s going to really turn it on and…

He believes he’s going to be relied on some for varsity this season and be the ace of JV.

It’s so so hard to not point out that not only is the varsity loaded with absolute studs (one is going to be an mlb draftee) and then juniors who are very very good but Aiden has not been great and he’s not deserved in top of not having any sort of seniority. They have seen him quit on himself, they can tell he’s not putting in the work, they don’t need him, and yet for some reason he thinks he’s very very good and they do.

He said that other than 2 starts this season he’s been very very good…he’s literally thrown 11 2/3 innings all summer season so when he says this it’s such an inaccurate review of the season that I just don’t even know what to say so I just go with it.

I’m encouraging, I take slight shots (not directly at him) about commitment, self discipline, drive, work ethic etc in an effort to get him to flip the switch but it’s not sticky. A few hours and tomorrow it’ll go away.

Delusional but I guess I just am supposed to just encourage and try to point out what it takes an and slightly what’s been missing without hurting him so hopefully I did that.

I try to hide my incredulousness.
