I just am really in a funk and I'm the one that it's probably affecting the most because I know that I'm missing pitches and I'm not proud of it.
Advice?

Over the years I've been through some funks and I've always found that developing a short memory is the best cure for it! I know it's difficult to do sometimes but if I keep chastising myself over a missed call, then it's going to affect my current call.
Going back to basics always helps but relaxing and forgetting everything previous is the big key. Each game is new, so start your next game off right by not worrying about your zone. Let your instincts take over and you'll do great!
