Thanks for continuing this dialog, I've found your responses insightful. I'm not 100% with you, but I'm not against it either... I'm purposely taking one instance at a time so as not to confuse or jumble anything. Obviously, if you do not care to respond, no need to.
I disagree that a player "pressing at the plate" falls into the mechanical area vs mental area, but I don't necessarily think that "pressing at the plate" is caused by the environment. I think it can be, but it's not in each case.
My next question is about a manager and his affect on a club house and how it affects team or player performance. It seems to me that you'd fall into an argument that the manager doesn't much matter when it comes to a players performance, thus the only way they affect a teams outcome is by the decision the make from the dugout (i.e. lineup card, pinch hitters, stolen bases, pitching changes, etc) and that the culture they help create doesn't affect winning.
This same premise could be extended to players keeping each other accountable, right?
