I don't know what to think since this team is so up and down (think about starting pitching being dynamite every other week the last few weeks). It has seemed for most of the season that when our team has made up their mind that they will NOT lose, they find a way to win. I hope that's what we see going forward.
The season is long, and it wears on these dudes. The lying down and coasting for mizz and the sect are concerning, but I can relate to the psychology when you feel like you have a spot cinched up. I just hope losing the WAY we did in the sect can be forgotten or used as fuel to buckle the hell up for next week.
I think we win the regional. I think we should win a super if we can keep our heads on straight.
If anyone was a UFC fan in the last 15 years, you should listen to the George St Pierre interview on Joe Rogan from a few weeks ago. I usually skip the MMA episodes, but he's maybe my all-time favorite fighter. I always admired him for his work ethic, will to win, and gracious/humble attitude. What I didn't realize until listening to that episode was what a genius strategist he is. This dude would bring in a neurologist and a psychologist to analyze opponents and find weaknesses and places to attack. A great listen.
