So, being the baseball scholar that you envision yourself to be, you think the players would have had the same lack of motivation to battle back from a 5-2 deficit as they did once Dusty allowed Abreu to put the game totally out of reach in the 6th/ LOL We had hit the ball hard in scoring those two runs and had four innings to come back from the three run deficit, but once that 5-2 deficit became 12-2 after Abreu coughed up the grand slam to Garcia, they had no incentive to battle back and never threatened again. The mental aspect came into play once the game got out of reach. I would think a genius like you would not need that pointed out to him. I can tell you from years of personal experience that's how it works.Ah yes, the infamous lack of motivation excuse. I don't doubt your years of coaching your weak-willed little children had brought you to that conclusion. And you probably gave them a pass if they just mailed in the rest of the game after you admitted to failing as their manager. But even Minor League teams have battled back from overwhelming deficits. Maybe not always to the extreme level that Sugar Land did in the game olpapa and I followed a few days ago where they came back from 11-0 and won 12-11, though. Yet you expect us to believe that a MLB team who couldn't score a single run in the final four innings of a blowout would have magically scored four runs if they were only down by three runs. Not buying it, Mongo. |

Not buying it, Mongo. I didn't expect you to buy it, dumbass. By the way, you didn't do a very good job of hiding the reason you keep attacking me when I clearly explain how it works to you. You have NO experience coaching anybody or playing the game so you resort to trying to belittle me because I have done what you couldn't do. That's OK. Lots of people have a problem relating to things they know nothing about. You aren't in a class by yourself. You trying to discuss what does or does not motivate an athlete is kind of like I would be trying to discuss nuclear physics...clueless. You do try so hard to appear knowledgeable, but, you failed miserably. I don't feel the need to explain anything related to my coaching years to you. You are so effing stupid it would be a waste of my time. So, you think Sugar Land's comeback was definitely because they were motivated? It could not have possibly been because the opposing manager decided to give some of his lesser pitchers some work and it backfired on him. LOL I don't expect you or anyone remotely like you to buy into or comprehend anything mental involving the game. I didn't say they COULD or WOULD score four runs if down by three......you injected that to try to prove something you are clueless about. Teams who feel like there is a chance of success are much more likely to bust their tails trying to come back and win a game than one they go from three down to ten down in a matter of minutes. I don't expect you to comprehend that since you have shown by your ignorance that you have no experience in that area. Now, you effing moron. Keep this up and continue showing your ignorance. |

Urquidy looked good for Sugar Land tonight. 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K. 62 pitches. 45 strikes. Good news. When they activate him, maybe they will ship Abreu back to Sugar Land. |

I didn't say they COULD or WOULD score four runs if down by three. If they couldn't or wouldn't have scored four runs if down by three, your argument falls flat on its face. Try to be consistent, Mongo. Teams who feel like there is a chance of success are much more likely to bust their tails Kyle Tucker, bless his heart, was busting his tail with a twelve-pitch AB while making the final out of the game. But as is so often true in baseball, effort doesn't insure results. Even for the better team. So, you think Sugar Land's comeback was definitely because they were motivated? No, Mongo. You're the one who's trying to draw a straight-line relationship between motivation (or lack of it due to run differential) and results. Sugar Land's comeback did happen because they kept playing the game, regardless of the score. |

Sugar Land's comeback did happen because they kept playing the game, regardless of the score. I'll give you credit for one thing......you keep trying to appear like you know what you are talking about when it's obvious you are clueless. If you think for one minute that a team who is ten runs down in the late innings puts up the same kind of fight as one who is down by only 2-3 runs and still has a chance to win, you have never been in those situations and don't know how these guys react. There are exceptions, but, not many. I noticed you had nothing to say about the quality of pitching the Skeeters were facing when they made that comeback. But, I'm sure you think that had nothing to do with it. LOL |
