The Third Time Will Fool You

Baseball is a fun and exciting sport (if you are actually playing that is!). However, it is a mind game more than anything. Sometimes what you think is supposed to happen, often goes completely the opposite way.

Take Hunter Pence for example. In the MLBWS, he ends up hitting the ball three times, which completely fools the shortstop as to where the ball was supposed to go:

Now, what does that mean for you? Make sure that you are not ‘jumping’ to conclusions, but rather taking in all the data and then coming to a resolution. If you attempt to assume what is ‘supposed’ to happen, you often get caught going the wrong direction, and ultimately lose the battle.
