MENTAL Problem

quote:

Bluedog, I understand the idea of clearing the mind while in the box. But,.......

Hsballcoach, the word "but" in your sentence makes everything before it obsolete....You really don't understand clearing the mind in the box...

Maybe TRhit can explain it to you.....I must give him credit.....He does understand the importance of clearing the mind in the box...He has been very consistent on this point........

I may not sleep tonight--

Relax Bluedog,
Not stirring the pot. I understand that different people approach things differently. Some pitchers enjoy the thinking game (Maddux) others (too many to name) just throw what is called. You MUST have an approach at the plate, you must think about what the pitcher is about to do and what you need to do. If you do not, good luck making it out of J.V. baseball. Once the pitcher moves, relax, use your knowledge, react, and win the battle. This is what true baseball is all about. Those that can't have a thought, prior to movement, at the plate may have a beautiful swing, but won't do much with it. Let me ask you this Bluedog, what would you look for if you are up to bat and the count is 2-0 with no one on base? If you said fastball in your best zone, your right! How did you figure this out? You had to think about the situation to develop a proper approach. Hope you hit a homerun by the way!

Hsballcoach, I would be right, in your opinion, but, not necessarily right....
