Game to game has nothing to do with it.
It's Pitcher to Pitcher, and even more importantly, Catcher to Catcher.
A Catcher that doesn't know what they are doing, can rob the best pitcher from getting the called strike.
When you feel like your having trouble with consistency, the first thing you do is check your own head. If nothing is in there but the game, no family or work issues, then look to the catcher. He/she is probably working in a way the makes it difficult to be consistent.
If the Catcher is doing a good job, once you have learned how a good Catcher looks, you probably have a Pitcher that is struggling. If they're not hitting there spots, throwing a lot of wild pitches, it is difficult.
The good news is, time will help you out with this.
