Control or Coincidence ?

An observation on the baseball season thus far :
Seems to me that when the team scores early they 'take their foot off the gas' and allow the opponent to get some back. (not all games but more than a few)
Conversely, it seems that when the game is close late, they put runs on the board to create the gap late in the game to win comfortably.
We saw this in last years team and it eventually bit us against the quality opponents several times. Seems that we've seen this rather consistently the past few years.
So, my question: Does this team have that much control where they can turn it on/off as needed or is it coincidence that it's just happening that way again ?
IMO, I see more control over offensive production this year than in recent years.
Your thoughts ?

We went 7-2 against our top 3 opponents from last year.

Inning-by-inning runs scored to date:
LSU 10 24 14 10 11 10 22 13 4 118
Opponents 2 3 4 7 3 6 8 8 2 43
I don't know if this supports or refutes your theory.....

How did it come back to bite us last year? We won most of our big games, and didnt give up a huge lead to stony brook

You know nothing about baseball if you think players have that much control. It's a mental game, for sure, but there's not one player who goes up to bat, takes the mound or roams the field who says, "It think I'll just coast now." If they did, they wouldn't be playing for long.

How exactly do you do this in baseball....
To do this, that'd require the pitchers to throw hittable stuff on purpose and batters to just refuse to try to get hits...
You really can't stop trying in baseball. its not like switching from the pass to the run in football to grind out the clock. You either pitch good and bat well or you don't. if you're not batting or pitching well on purpose, thats not taking your foot off of the gas, thats taking the oxygen out of your brain...wtf

I don't know much about baseball, but it seems that when a team gets a big lead, they swing away on offense and throw strikes on defense.
