Well I'm encouraged.
I agree with Marty on this. I'm pretty sure if these guys made it to the big leagues, they are mentally equipped to deal with pressure and expectations. If not, then idk what they're doing in the big leagues.

Tabata just broke it up to start the 7th
He's saying that he doesn't like to overemphasize any one game to his players. Some might react by putting pressure on themselves.

They both are correct IMO.

Fundamentals. (I'm not complaining about the play, don't get me wrong. Just baffled.)
Well, Ludwick was the designated hitter, not runner.
