I totally disagree. The odds are against that hitter getting the two out


hit. Talent got them to the plate, but what wins......confidence! Preparation! Mental strength! And that comes from leadership and culture. No way you could convince me the Astros had more talent than the Dodgers (nor probably the Yankees) last year....but something was different. That's why the big dollar teams don't always win even though they have more talent. How does Villanova beat Georgetown or NC State win the national championship? There are so many examples in bat and ball sports as well as others, that show that talent doesn't always win. How did Boston University beat Oklahoma this year in softball? Wasn't talent!!!! With Oklahoma's talent they probably win on Thursday, but no way that you will ever convince me that talent always wins......culture matters! Leadership matters! Confidence matters!!! Especially the younger and less experienced the team is.
