I get the sense that it would be better if the focus moves off of ‘what
it will take to host.’ Just focus on a practice ata time, an inning at a time, a game at a time , and don’t do anything to put more pressure on the team. I’m honestly not sure we won’t be more relaxed and focused on the road. Just two cents worth of rambling….

But situational ball is situational ball, and situational pressures exist, even pitch to pitch.

the players focus on that. Although, when you are ranked 10th, it's got to be discouraging to lose games you know you shouldn't have.

not necessarily "the team." Or an individual's mindset versus the team's.
For example, Mazzarone acknowledge after the Friday Georgia Tech game that she needed to refocus and reset after the first inning because she was not quite locked in.... that is an individual performance thing.
Batters striking out or popping with the bases loaded and no outs is an individual situation.
Not blasting any players.... Just saying that we as fans often talk about the team when so much comes down to an individual making or not making a play in a given moment. What was their mindset at the time of that play?
