So they would play these games within a game.

They all were on the same page.

And I think that's how...

you know, their identity developed over time.

And I don't think this is anyone's fault.

I just think there's a lot of talent on this team, enough talent, I think, to win the division.

There's enough potential to win the division.

But I don't think they've settled on this is who we are, this is how we win games, and this is how we're going to do it night after night.

I think so.

I think that's fair.

I think the middle of the order right now is not doing what they're capable of doing.

And when I say what they're capable of doing, I'm not saying hitting 30 or 40 home runs.

I mean, Salve in the game last night hits a home run to the opposite field.

Two at-bats later, he gets a base hit to the opposite field.

So what Salve's capable of doing is not just hitting a lot of home runs and driving in 100-plus RBIs, but it's a team that...

And I keep going back to two years ago just because I think they proved in a short period of time that with the talent they have, that they could make some adjustments on offense and be, I think they finished sixth in the league in runs per game.

I mean, it was a solid offense a couple of years ago.

But I still just believe that whether it's a player that's underperforming right now, I think equal to that are players who are trying to overperform.

And you are who you are.

I mean, you're going to have games where you're going to do amazing things.
