Gosh, it's refreshing to see a guy defy the expectations for a contract year.

Crucialness Key said:I hear a lot of people saying maybe the team hasn't "gelled" yet... but you go into the batter's box by yourself, you pitch from the mound all alone. How would "gelling" explain all the high-profile starters collapsing? Or a bunch of hitters not hitting?
In hockey, I can understand how a player changes teams and has to learn new systems, new defensive coverage, his linemates don't position themselves like his old ones did. But in baseball, no matter what team you're on, first base doesn't move, you're still throwing to the same spot... how much does "team chemistry" really factor into it?
I guess it makes sense: more clubhouse camaraderie --> more positive individual mindsets --> better individual performance. Seems a stretch to hang all of our abysmal suckage on it, though (as some commentators seem to be doing).bustaheims said:That being said, being comfortable around your teammates, liking them as people and such certainly can't hurt, and, in some cases, probably helps.
