Social anxiety is an experience of fear, apprehension or worry regarding social situations and being evaluated by others. People vary in how often they experience anxiety in this way or in which kinds of situations. Anxiety about public speaking, performance, or interviews is common. Social anxiety can be related to shyness. The experience is commonly described as having physiological components (e.g. sweating, blushing), cognitive/perceptual components (e.g. belief that one may be judged negatively; looking for signs of disapproval) and behavioral components (e.g. avoiding a situation

nothing to really laugh at. the kid went from being one of the best young pitchers in all of baseball to not even being comfortable on the mound. hes got his hands full today. tough game in which to make your mlb regular season return. but hes more than capable.

I heard that he was afraid of working out in front of other people, which sucks if you're in the MLB. Hope he turns it around

Prodigy, I understand where you are coming from.

But, these days, we have a name for a disorder for everything. Kids that can't sit still in class have ADD. Some guy grows up and shoots his own kids, he sufferered from some sort of child pyschological disorder.

Piss, he chokes and has stage fright. Get it together or go dig some ditches and earn your money. He can either do his job or he can't and if he is getting paid whatever it is to pitch, do it or be prepared to get yelled at, chastised, berated, or whatever because that is what happens at these games and in the media. It comes with the territory.

I am personally not one to do all that, but come on.

Nothing against you prodigy, I really enjoy your posts. Just sharing my opinions.

The guy had a real problem that affected his job, he took some time off to try and take care of it, and now he's back in action. I'm sure the Royals are glad he didn't puss out and "dig some ditches."

Same thing Ricky Williams suffers from, if I remember correctly.

It's no joke.

CY YOUNG???


Greinke (16-8) worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the third inning and escaped two other tight spots to drop his baseball-best ERA to 2.06. Joakim Soria(notes) got the final six outs, inducing a groundout by Joe Mauer(notes) with two on in the ninth for his 29th save in 32 chances.
