I know Soto hitting the home run does change the dynamic of it, especially because of how they lost, and we'll get to that coming up in a little bit.

Yo, can someone catch a pop-up to short right field?

They have not done enough.

They're batting 162 with men in scoring position.

And that's supposed to be their superpower, to quote Aaron Glenn.

That's their superpower.

Hitting with runners in scoring position, putting the ball in play, being a dominant offense, top to bottom, tough at bats, top to bottom.

Everything we saw on opening day, we have not seen since.

That's the problem.

And the other thing offensively, and I said this and I asked Mendoza this, is he worried about where they're going to get home runs from?

Right.
