Now, if they do that, the easy identity and the easy kind of mantra to say is, okay, we're a team that can just overcome injuries.
We can get punched in the face.
Doesn't matter how many times we're going to bounce back and boom, you know, you look at it at the end of May and that is your identity.
So I do think this kind of stuff is fluid.
No, you're right.
And the media creation point, I mean, I kind of mentioned it earlier, right?
Surrounding the Blue Jays, I don't think I've seen anything in the conversation this year talking about identity until Schneider himself brought it up, right?
I think it does matter.
Like when the team is, say they're coming into a game and, you know, late in the game, they're trailing and they get a couple runners on base.
I think it's easy to turn to each other and, you know, kind of...
Be like, all right, boys, we've got this.
We've done this in the past.
I think that's kind of where identity kind of comes into play.
I could see that have been the case last year where comeback win after comeback win, there's kind of a confidence that emerges that, hey, we've done this before.
We can come back.
We can string together base hits.
We can string together good at-bats against the team's best relievers, and we can win because of that.
I think that kind of stuff is what an identity β how it manifests and kind of what it is.
I think it's just like being able to call from prior experience.
But again, you're right.
