Pick Your Pitch

I was chatting with Sarah on iMessage tonight.  Barb chats with her every weekend but I don’t chat with her very often.  I was telling her about how I was having a very bad season this year in slow pitch.  I was not batting very well.  She was sad for me but she said don’t you always say something when you are in the batters box to focus and concentrate.  I said yes I used to and it used to help but I couldn’t remember what it was.  Barb said wasn’t it ‘Clouds’ and I said no it wasn’t that.  Then Sarah remembered what it was.  I used to say “Pick Your Pitch and Drive It”.

I told her that I would try it in my next game.  It worked and I started hitting better.  It doesn’t work all the time but I am definitely doing better than I did before.  At one game, I had a couple of good hits and I was on first base.  The first baseman was the captain of his team.  He said he tried to get me on his team but I went very early in the draft.  He said that I had a great swing and the only reason that I wouldn’t get on base was if I swung at a bad pitch.
