Thanks so much for your replies.
I will keep a journal. I will not be so reluctant to improve my strike zone as the game progresses. (Hopefully, this won't be a frequent problem.) I will read that "Verbal Judo" book. (It sounds very interesting.) And I will try to ignore the fans.
I don't know why this particular game bothered me so much. The coach's post-game comments to his team stuck with me longer than they should have. I don't mind being accused of blowing a call. It happens. But being refered to as the reason the team lost stung (a lot). And it wasn't true.
