Uncontrollable variables must have no effect on your pitching.

Otherwise you're nothing more than a puppet, getting yanked around by circumstance.

Who cares if the last pitch, or the last 50 pitches, were balls?

The umpire's a jerk, your defense is lousy, but if you let it all affect you, you get the blame. Pitchers can not have excuses for failure.

That's part and parcel with getting wins and losses in the box score. The buck stops with the pitcher, and a pitcher who tries to deal with anything except what is under his control is foolish.

I empathize, but do not sympathize, with such a pitcher. He is "rattled."

Stay within yourself and control only what you can control:the next pitch!

Practice Hard......
