What Kills your teams?

[hitman444]

Pop ups !!!

 

[john3906]

team is too polite. no one get's on each other for making bad decisions or helps coach each other. other team puts up 10 unearned runs because of errors and everyone walks back to the bench smiling at each other while the reach for cigs and a bud.

 

[BIGPAPA33]

Team waiting until the last 3 innings to start hitting.

 

[cwall282]

friendship. we can't seem to cut dead weight because we're "friends".

Oh my god I hear that. I think we are going to cut 2 of our top 5 players next year just to get rid of all the "friends, that have been here since the beginning" scenarios.

 

[fun3size]

i would have to say for ours, it's mental errors. the players have it in them to catch, hit and what not. but sometimes they don't mentally get it. or don't mentally put their all into it. therefore a lot of what they do is half assed.

kinda sucks.

 

[landsharklager]

extra guys decide to show up whenever they feel like it, don't tell anyone so we have 13 on the roster and then bud into our normal lineup because they think they are entitled to play because the work for our sponsor.

 

[LikeMiken]

The blow up inning. Other team scores a few runs and everyone becomes the suck.

 

[second2noone]

we just stop hitting, too many 1-2-3 innings.

 

[redwards92]

haha well for league games and stuff my team(coed) sometimes(a lot of the time) just has a bad night at bat and we lose or it's bad defense decent bats but we lose. . .

for my tourney team it is DEF drinking to much before second and third games in a day.

You let them butt into the lineup? Who cares if they work for the Sponsor. It's real easy to tell people, "You'll make us forfeit the game since you aren't on the original roster. Sorry."

The blow up inning. Other team scores a few runs and everyone becomes the suck.

Yeah our team likes to build on each others errors. An error in an inning, oh well. But when you have 3 or 4 in an inning, it's practically over. Oh, and my pitcher can suck something fierce sometimes too. If he's in his head too much, we're done for in that inning. I then go in and make him catch.

 

[cjangeloni1986]

My captain bats 14 batters with the last 4 to 5 batters being dead weight most of the time. Negativity also kills a teams mood and confidence.

 

[scuderia]

#1 When we just don't hit
#2 Errors

 

[MormonBaller]

My Wednesday team I would have to say AIDS. I play on a gay/lesbian bar team.

 

[Schmidty22]

2 out errors. We can get the first two batters out and still give up 9 runs in an inning, all unearned!

 

[eHall]

Scoring less runs than the other team is why we lose.

Other than that we play NSA D and have been giving the others team an average of 6 runs per game due to the progressive penalty. We gave a team 10 last weekend and lost 11-7. We scored 5 in top of first. We could have struck out every batter the rest of the game and still won.

 

[strosfann]

Weak pop ups and not keeping the force intact with our outfield throws. Lack of OF speed and weak throwing arms don't help either. Come to think of it our revolving attendance holds us back as well. While I'm at it we seem to walk to many guys that are the back of the opposing teams order.

Damn! How do we ever win a game!

 

[Hammerin' Hank]

you need to comment more so your avy gets her nips back

That avy, confuses the hell out of me.

 

[jhitman]

Mental Mistake, Errors, base running, dbo's????


For us its too much beer in between games

what causes your teams to lose?

Not enough quality players....

 

[vlcmstnaz]

our infield suffers just from the TALK of shaved sticks. whether the other team is swinging glass or not, if someone brings it up, our infield starts to flinch on every pitch, misplaying easy hops, etc..

our defense is good too. we win most games defensively. not necessarily scoring more runs than the other team, but allowing less runs than the other team (if that makes any sense). but talk of shaved bats spooks our infield EVERY time. drives me nuts.

so in response to your question, it's ALL MENTAL. well, mostly mental.

 

[slippuller49]

Bad D cause my team can hit....

Sounds like you play on my team. Sucks something fierce.

 

[LikeMiken]

Also noticed we might only score 20 runs when we are home. We **** **** up when we bat first.

i assume you play infield?

 

[SMAC]

Defense by far and away. A lot of that comes from a lackadaisical attitude in the field.
