There is no pick up the other guys on this team within an inning. During this losing streak any bad play has been followed by disaster after disaster meaning focus has gone out the window during the game.
Part of the problem with playing for the future talk all the time from the management has taught these guys to give up during tough times and settle for losing. They are never comfortable with leads. They have only a handful of games this year that they won going away from the beginning or kept a three run lead all game.
They are more comfortable being behind and win at the end of games because they won't have to keep the lead for long.
With a 2-0 count Why would you swing at a pitch in the dirt? Zimmerman has to think get on base not HR!
