Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 381654, member: 668"] I think a significant issue with the overall frustration factor is the repeated same blunders, over & over again. You can argue that these [I]flaws[/I] are correctable, certainly they should be, but it's year four and the pattern is nothing new. I don't know why, maybe Marrone's approach just has these kids too uptight, on pins & needles sort of speak? Paying too much attention (the turnovers) has obviously been counter productive. It's not like these kids just started playing ball, ball security is a basic fundamental of the game. Somehow, Marrone needs to get the guys to execute without all the added pressure. Just go out and play, relax, etc. One thing for certain, when you're physically uptight, too tense, etc., you can not perform at your peak, it bleeds into you mentally. Just ask any batter who has played the game, a golfer, etc. Of course, this is easier said than done. [/QUOTE]
