One question i had was does she focus so much on strikeouts

that she has to be reminded that she has a defense behind her. As much as the fans at the game were getting on the umpire on most anything called a ball, even if it was clearly a ball (knowing that most fans can't have an angle that can allow them to say what it was), many of her issues were control issues. Then it felt like she would get two outs and then boom, things unraveled.... I would love to see her body language SEEM less droppy when she walks from the mound and then sets up, but that is just me. She is collecting herself and that can just be here.
