  • Managing Team Chemistry
    5/8/2019 Managing Team Chemistry Managing Team Chemistry In a Nutshell I heard a baseball analyst say that the fight between Mike Piazza and Guillermo Mota last week provided a chance for Piazza's team to improve its chemistry. His rationale was pretty complex, but I think he's right. Team chemistry is a complicated issue, but it's also the key to getting the most out of a team's talent. Team chemistry is one of the most complicated keys to the success of organizations. Effective teams are more than just a collection of talented members. To be effective, a team has to be able to combine the efforts and abilities of members in the right way. Just as no two people are identical, no two teams are identical. Consequently, what works well for one team may not work well for others. However, research has identified several factors that usually produce good team chemistry: Diversity Role taking Constructive norms Leadership Cohesiveness Common vision In This Issue Mets Fight for Team Chemistry What We Know About Team Chemistry Managing Team Chemistry About the Newsletter and Subscriptions Good, Clean Joke LeaderLetter Web Site Mets Fight for Team Chemistry I heard Tim Kurkjian explain on an ESPN radio program last week that the incident of Mike Piazza charging to the pitcher's mound to fight Guillermo Mota after Mota hit him with a pitch on March 12 provided an opportunity for Piazza's team, the New York Mets, to improve their chemistry. First, Piazza is a leader on the team and his actions set the tone for the rest of the team.

Schools may determine who those pitchers and catchers may be, not setting a limit of 8 pitchers and 2 catchers. The week of conditioning should be a comprehensive program that involves the following components: Stretching – Proper stretching of the entire body, allowing for preparation of proper mechanics, is crucial. Flexibility and balance are important components of the program. Strengthening – A throwing program should be progressive and should begin to build a base that athletes will develop throughout the season. Cardio – Aerobic training designed to build full body endurance to prevent fatigue and overuse injuries is a key component. Recommendation include 20-40 minutes (biking, elliptical, treadmill) three times during the week. Recovery – Pitchers should be throwing no more than 3-4 times during the week and should be provided the proper amount of rest that allows the arm to recover.

    Research Report Psychological Science 22(4) 423 –428 Temper, Temperature, and Temptation: © The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav Heat-Related Retaliation in Baseball DOI: 10.1177/0956797611399292 http://pss.sagepub.com Richard P. Larrick1, Thomas A. Timmerman2, Andrew M. Carton1, and Jason Abrevaya3 1Fuqua School of Business, Duke University; 2Department of Decision Sciences and Management, Tennessee Technological University; and 3Department of Economics, University of Texas Abstract In this study, we analyzed data from 57,293 Major League Baseball games to test whether high temperatures interact with provocation to increase the likelihood that batters will be hit by a pitch. Controlling for a number of other variables, we conducted analyses showing that the probability of a pitcher hitting a batter increases sharply at high temperatures when more of the pitcher’s teammates have been hit by the opposing team earlier in the game. We suggest that high temperatures increase retaliation by increasing hostile attributions when teammates are hit by a pitch and by lowering inhibitions against retaliation.

  • 1 Pray Ball? Reflections on the Serious Liturgical Challenge of Giving Thanks for Baseball by Mark W. Stamm, Associate Professor
    Pray Ball? Reflections on the Serious Liturgical Challenge of Giving Thanks for Baseball By Mark W. Stamm, Associate Professor of Christian Worship, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University Twenty-Second Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture June 2-4, 2010 (The Scripture quotations contained herein are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible, copyright © 1989, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. Used by permission. All rights reserved.) I present this paper as liturgical scholar, ordained United Methodist minister, and baseball fan. I hold membership in the North American Academy of Liturgy and the North Texas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, as well as the Society for American Baseball Research. Can these distinct realms of discourse and practice have a helpful conversation, or must they remain separate? Committed practitioners have lived both realities, of course, and it takes but little effort to start a baseball conversation in any of these realms. When I began studies in the Boston University Doctor of Theology degree program in 1989, I was informed that clergy could obtain a pass to Fenway Park that would allow one to sit in any unoccupied seat; that is, when one could find an empty seat in the years following the Impossible Dream, Fisk’s homer, and the ball that dribbled under Buckner’s glove.1 More than that, my wife is an equally ardent baseball fan as well as the best scorekeeper in the family, so a pass for one ticket would have been a problem.
