Dear Brit — Can I call you Brit?

It seems that just like our Dani Rojas, you’re experiencing a case of the y-word. Y’know what I mean, though I suppose since I’m writing this, it’s okay to put the full word down on paper. Or screen. You get the point.

Anyways, it seems that you’re experiencing the case of the … yips.

*shudder*

Yeah, it’s caught my notice. Pitches can’t find the strike zone — ball after ball avoiding the strike zone as if repelled with a magnet or somethin’. Your guess as to where that fastball is going is as good as anyone’s.
