Field and crowd is strictly a "mind" thing. What matters is never letting up on your game. Steal, bunt, move the men around the bases all the while, keeping the opponent at bay. This is where I get into arguments with people in "letting up" under sportsmanship. I never changed my game plan, neither did the teams I played for. The object was to win and be in 1st place at the end of the season. Granted this is on the professional side but in my time, I have seen so many teams 'ease off" because they were beating the pants off the opponent, only to see a few bad plays and the opponent is right back in the game.
Please, let's not argue about this. I have never conceded the issue in all the years on these boards and no one will ever get me to change my mind. My feelings always were if I have to let up to allow you to play, you should not be here to start with!
