well for the 1st time in my life it looks like I'm going to be a starting pitcher for my summer league team, against the best team in the league(it's our first game). I can throw relatively fast but I throw wild sometimes and in warmups and stuff I tend to stop my delivery because I don't feel confident throwing at times. I'm maybe the best player on the team(this sounds arrogant but my team is awful, they do unfair teams, I'm pretty good but not incredible) so I can't say no to pitcher.

Any advice

by the way I've pitched for about 6 innings in my life, 2 last year

Just rexlax. Since its your first start go out there and have fun. If you give up hits, don't blow up, just relax and focus on the batter. If you play in a league that takes leads and such though, don't forget to check the runners. Mix up your looks to the bases. Also, since it sounds like your team won't have very good fielders, try to do something I'm bad at and not get mad at your fielders. If you have to, mutter to yourself. I love to pitch and pitcher is my favorite position. I was a main pitcher for the first time in my life this year on my Little League team and I had the time of my life playing ball. Even made my All-Star team and pitched for them in 2/3 games.

BTW, throwing wild in warmups isn't nessicalily a bad thing :lol: . Look at the movie Bull Durham

I just finished a 17 inning MLBPP game with a 2-1 win, a shallow sacrifice fly by my fastest runner managed to barely score one of my slowest runners, Zero got the save.

...And now my Facebook account was nearly stolen.
So I've been attacked by 1 trojan once.
By another trojan twice.
By another (but thankfully less threatening) trojan THRICE!
And there's been a phishing attack on my facebook account.
Great.

One of my friends got hacked and sent me a fake link that stole my password, so facebook temporarily shut me down and had me identify my friends in 7 pictures so it could make sure it was me and I could change my password. It's a good thing that (unlike most bozos) I don't friend people I don't know.

Weird, my norton usually catches a trojan by the time it completely shuts down all your programs.
