It was so strange to watch the Yankees Braves game on Apple TV last night. Everybody looked like they knew how to hit a baseball. You could read it in their body language when they walk to the plate like they had contact harbored in their bodies, waiting to be expressed through the barrel of the bat. I sometimes think our guys are afraid of the ball. They look tentative, not confident. Sometimes confidence is mere performativity, an act. But in the other game I watched last night, these guys all seemed to know what they were doing, and a lot of times our guys don’t.
