Can't beat em - join em! There are lots of ways to disrupt the rhythm of a pitcher - see above for a few... but you can also use the pitcher's rhythm to your advantage - feel his rhythm and join in! EXPECT things to move at his pace and when they do it feels like a Dejavue..like you have been there before and it is fun.. then once you feel like you are in his rhythm, step out of it by design.. not only will you feel more in control than ever but it becomes more fun. The reason is that you are with him in the first place - you don't have to break out but when you do you feel in control whereas before you felt like it was a semi desparate attempt to change him... EXPECTING things to happen makes them fun when they actually do happen!
