I think pre-games are losing the battle unfortunately. Maybe want to skip them and then if things happen they want to try to clean up the mess then. It's a terrible way of doing business but you can't fix stupid.

Correct me if I'm wrong gentleman but I've always been told to watch the pitcher until he commits then immediately look at the batter without following the ball to the plate. If you follow the ball your eyes are still moving when the ball reaches the batter. However, if you focus on the plate before the ball gets there, you have the ability to see things more clearly. I have found I see a lot more things from the field by not following the ball to the plate
