Did you just not read what I had posted before? Or is it that you lack imagination?

OK, let's look at a possible example. Runners on 1st and 2nd. Runners signalled to steal, but the runner on 2nd pulls back. Runner on 1st is more concerned with his own numbers and keeps going hoping to pressure the runner on 2nd to just keep going. ie, bad teamwork resulting from bad team chemistry. The quantative result is that they're caught stealing. ie, the qualitative poor team chemistry has an effect on the quantitative result under the Caught Stealing heading.

Another example? Say trailing by 1 in the bottom of the 9th, a batter comes to the plate, with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out. The outfield of the opposing team is quite good, but the infield is terrible, so some sort of sacrifice play would probably be best, maybe a bunt. But the guy at the plate couldn't care less whether the team wins or not, he's aiming to be on the HR leaderboard so he strokes away with everything he's got. Hits it to fly out to the SS, and an opportunity to win is gone. Bad teamwork. Again, qualitative poor team chemistry having an effect on the quantative result in terms of wins, runs, etc. etc. and everything that leads on from those stats.

Do I need to keep going with possible scenarios where a poorly developed team culture can result in poor quantative results?

I would ask that you stop with the examples because they are not helping your case.
