Anyone who wants to be the main attraction of every inning is a little off.
One key to winning is that the pitcher has to get the kids to play for her. So, the pitcher has to shoulder more responsibility for losing than she should get, and she shouldn't take credit for winning.
As "the Snake" Serdar explained to my DD, if the pitcher strikes out 21 and throws a perfect game, she should tell everyone that her catcher should get the credit because she called a great game.
So, every time my DD was asked about a game the team won, she talked about a specific player who "came through in the clutch". Every time she was asked about a game the team lost, she talked about "how she couldn't get XYZ working."
