re: This EPIC Choke Job Is On The Players, Not CPM

Poche was unwilling to even throw the ball to first on a pickoff attempt.

The pressure got to him. It's a classic example of choking.

Hale has played very poorly at the plate lately. It's a very different than the entire year. I think that is also pressure and the play at 3rd supports that.

It's a shame. But teams that are like that really shouldn't win. If you can't handle the heat then that's a significant part of your identity.
