*Locker Room, Moravica, Banija; Post-3rd game*
*Y. Fujita looks around room at team, in various states of anger, sadness, and nonchalance*
YF: Well?
*Few mumbled responses, sighs*
*Fujita leaves*
K. Rensselaer: "Do any of you have anything articulate to say?"
A. Valerio: "Yes. We were fine until the bottom of the fourth inning. I can pick apart the two, three mistakes we made up until then, but after that there was some good things."
M. Slatek: "All of the excuses that we could come up with for that inning, I think are true."
D. Van Epps: "Let me list them out for you: 5 errors, a waist-high changeup to the best hitter on the team, and playing the best team in the world three games in a row. Anything else?"
R. Stohr: "I just think the offense couldn't get any momentum going, all 27 innings. We hit into so many double plays, that near half our baserunners got nowhere. Assan Condé's slider was hard to see for some of us-"
J. Leslie: "All of us. They induced 21 groundouts! 59 in three games"
RS: "Well, yeah..."
*Fujita returns, grabs keys off table*
YF: "Then figure it out. We have to execute every single play, and give those other teams no help."
*Fujita leaves again*
N. Dublin: "And our pitchers didn't do terrible, I guess, but none of our starters did great. We won't get anywhere as a team unless our players, all of us, start playing like an internationally renowned team, rather than... that."
L. Sable: "We can do this. It's hard, being a first- year team in one of the best divisions in the tournament. But we have to make some changes, to make sure a beat-down like that doesn't happen again."
E. Ferrasen: "It motivate you more, if you want me to have my job to do if we are not losing by lot?"
V. DeClair: "Yeah, let's give our boy Erik a chance to play. He can't sit down in the bullpen all week."
KR: "Alright. Let's go out to The Local Tavern for the next three games, and get ready to play some real Inner AginanaUsordian baseball."
M. Vigil: "Lions on three. One, Two, Three"
All: "Lions!"
