Maybe light a fire under someone's ass. Make them respond to that perceived slight of manhood. Fire them up to be more prideful? Quit trying to be everyone's freaking friend Dusty, and call em out. Kissing everyone's but and trying to paint a rosy picture isn't changing anyone's views. I want dusty to say "we've been horrible. We haven't been good. Our pitching has sucked, our hitting has sucked. Our fundamentals have been piss poor, and these guys need to respond". Don't try to tell me it's simple, and this is just bad luck, ane we're hitting it good.
