Makes me wonder if the players have a certain debilitating mentality that's keeping them from hitting as well as you'd expect from a professional ballplayer. holy [expletive] you still exist I've been lurking for the past few years. Now that the team is ostensibly good again, there's reason to be emotionally invested in these games, a decision which isn't really paying off so far.
