I was a baseball girlfriend in high school, and it is no fun at all. I colored pictures for him about baseball, was a very understanding girlfriend about all of his games and practices, and I wished him luck before every game too.
I only went to a few games because when I went he usually did bad for some reason. He would usually take it out on me, mainly because I was in his line of fire, so I just didn't go. I stayed supportive, and I will always support him in everything he does, but I wasn't about to sit at his game and take the chance of getting yelled at if him or his team did bad.
You should be lucky he was calm and told you he didn't feel like talking. He was probably in a really bad mood, and was afraid he would take it out on you. The best thing for you to do in those situations is tell him to call you when he feels like it, and not to worry about it if he doesn't want to talk that night. You just have to be understanding.
Being a baseball girlfriend is tough work, so you kind of just have to deal with it.

I am an athlete and it sounds like your BF, and maybe his team, is in a mental slump. There is NOTHING you can do to help his game, that is something he and his team has to work out. But staying supportive will not hurt!
I know when I do poorly I feel horrible about letting my team down...I didn't want to talk to anyone for hours after.
Be glad he can at least let you know when things are rough and he needs to disconnect for a while. At least he is sharing with you on some level.
There is nothing you can do but let him know you are there for him. He doesn't want you to 'fix' it. He just needs to know someone is there believing in him no matter how well or how poorly he does.

Good for you for being such a supportive girlfriend to him!
It sounds like he did not feel like being consoled at that moment because he was in a rough mood from playing badly. After cooling off and talking to his coach he probably does feel better. You could just believe that or if you still feel like something is wrong, be there for him and make sure he knows that he can talk to you about it.

Nothing, he feels better. If he says he feels better, chanced are he's not lying about it, so you don't need to do anything.

You should lay off and not put so much pressure on him.
Also, he should probably shave his head or grow a mustache. And that's not a joke; I'm serious.
