A rookie pitcher is struggling on the mound, so the catcher walks up to have a quick talk with him.
“I think I’ve figured out your problem,” the catcher tells the shaky pitcher.
“You always lose control at exactly the same point in every game.”
The pitcher feels a little relieved, thinking he has the answer to his issue.
“When do I usually lose my control?” he asks his teammate.
“It’s usually,” the catcher admits, “right after the national anthem.”
