It is like preparing for a test, a speech or a piano recital. If you haven't worked on it at home, it probably isn't going to end well.
Agree!
I always tell my girl: "We practice during practice, and when in a game we get what we get."
Meaning, game situations are not for tweaking. And don't expect to pitch well in games if you haven't practiced.
It's also much easier to watch games as a parent, if you adopt the attitude that the real work (with respect to mechanics) happens in practice. Games are for learning how to get batters out, not work on mechanics.
