I agree it's great to have good chemistry to make long games go by more quickly. And it's nice for everyone to just get along. But good chemistry simply does not help win games in my opinion from personal experience and personal observation and it's quite reasonable to think an intangible force is overrated.  |
I disagree. And the fact you cant back it up with anything but an opinion seems to mean you're just being stubborn and pig headed and cant accept the fact it is real. Baseball is a game of much mental stress. Pressure situations, clutch hits and outs, you dont think that with negative thoughts running through your head you're not handicapped as to performing the same or better then if those thoughts werent in your head. Chemistry is of the same substance. If everyone on a team hates each other, they will not win. Egos need to be checked at the door. Just look at why the Yankees havent been able to do anything in the last 6 years? No role players, everyone on that team thinks THEY ARE the team. You cant win with that mindset.
Its a team game, of many individual performances.
