I’ve specifically referenced the Barrio clowning around while getting their s*** pushed in and how it’s a bad look. Nobody cares about Teo dumping seeds on guys or putting on the HR jacket when they’re down 3.
My only hypothesis is that the people who are cool with lack lustre effort are the ones who never played anything at a level high enough where losing was a disappointment.
If you’re a high level competitor, and you see teammates clowning around when you’re getting dusted it is extremely frustrating. Remember 2021 when they missed the post season by 1 game? Every single inning matters, and losing focus and or not putting your best effort forward every chance you get is an insult to the guys that do.
