Again, expectations have just destroyed these guys' love of baseball it seems. Last year they were hungry and had a massive chip on their shoulder. Winning was new for most of the veterans on the team and it made for a lot of fun baseball. This team just tries too hard to replicate last season every day instead of just playing.
They need a big, come-from-behind win to turn this, I think. They need something to feel good about. How many teams don't have a walk-off win yet? We don't. We don't even have a come-from-behind win in the 9th on the road. There hasn't been one exciting win, really. No defining moments yet. most of the wins have been boring and matter of fact. Every single time there is a potential turning point in a game, we fail to come through. Every darn time. Look at the faces in the dugout late in games. They are all praying someone will come through, they don't look like they think they can win, though.
