When a fielder misplays a fly ball or lets a grounder slip right past him, what do you say to him after he comes off the field (assuming you did not yank him off right after the error)? A hint: telling him "not to worry about it" could mean just that or could mean don't worry because he'll be sitting out the rest of the game and so the phrase is pointless either way.

Let me start with an observation more than a suggestion. Every player is different of course and reacts to criticism well or poorly. I wonder if fewer words and quiet time on bench is all he needs? Or do you actively need to correct something?
