And there are many examples of that over the years with big personalities.

The thing that... The conversation that kicked up after game one, and even I think was taking place a little bit during spring training is...

This feels like Juan Soto's team now.

And Soto had a good first season.

He wasn't perfect.

He had some struggles.

But he had a very good year.

He's going to be here longer, presumably, than Francisco Lindor.

And he is, by most metrics, the superlative player.

And so...

The idea of the team taking on more of his personality, especially as mainstays like Alonso and Nimmo and McNeil move on, and he gets to kind of build a culture around him on the team, probably has Lindor feeling a little wanting.

The Lindor stuff in yesterday's game...

That was mystifying.

That's like JaVale McGee level, what the fuck is going on, man?

That was really, you must have, did you get some bad news that morning?

Because to be completely checked out on a ground ball double play opportunity in the first inning and then be picked off in the bottom half of that inning,

He just felt completely detached from what was going on with the team.

You know, he took accountability.

He always does after the game, and he talked about it.

But he looked like his dog had just died, and we're in game six.
