Play The Game

 Know the rules: outs, count, score. WIN "what's important now?" The game changes every pitch. You never know the pitch that is going to change the game. You have to prepare for every pitch like it's the game changer. Control what you can control. Play in the present the whole game. That is impossible but try to flush negative thoughts from the past and move on to the next pitch. You can't change the past, Hangwitem, move on. Only thing you can control is your focus on the next pitch. Baseball is hard, failure is as much a part of the game as 3 strikes is an out. Deal with it. Players react to failure like they are surprised. WAIT WHAT? Be a man, deal with the negative result, learn from it and move on. What's your job on this pitch? OVER and OVER. Check the score at the end of the game, its the only time it counts.
