Austin Regional Thread
You have a severe comprehension problem, which is now evidenced by your reductionist fallacy. At no point have I drawn a direct link between facial hair and performance. I have drawn a link between mindset/focus/discipline and performance and suggested that a good way to correct the mindset/focus/discipline issue is to cut out all the extra bullshit. The theatrics are stupid for several reasons. It's another indicator of mindset/focus/discipline/priorities being in the wrong place, and it also makes you look dumb as shit when the guy locks you up so bad you don't even take the bat off your shoulder. I could draw comparisons to other contexts, but I doubt you've ever been more than a standard deviation away from the mean in anything, so you wouldn't know the difference anyway. In fairness, I could be wrong on that but I highly doubt it. Either way, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I don't care if you agree or disagree. You and your opinion can go that way and me/mine will go this way.

Striking out looking with RISP, 2 outs, and the game on the line is unforgivable. Williams did it twice and Belyeu ended the game with it. Why'd they do it? Because even in that situation, they're looking (or guessing) for a certain pitch to hit - offensive/aggressive hitting - which is the wrong approach. Shorten up and commit to hitting defensively to all fields and you don't get absolutely frozen on a hanging curveball (or in Williams' second instance, a piped FB). It's basic shit and they won't do it, which makes me wonder if they're coached to do what they're doing or if they're just that far lost.

North Carolina is one of the best teams in the country this year. They aren't the best at anything, but they are very good at everything. They are the definition of "built for Omaha" and will have to totally shit the bed to not make a serious run.

No discipline, no attention to detail, no doing the little things right, focused on all the wrong things (swagger and theatrics vs. getting a fucking bunt down), etc. I've been bitching about it since April and y'all were losing your minds over it. Hate to say "I told ya so"...but here we are.
