Culture as we become the hunted

More than anything, I want to see growth from everyone and an improvement in their consistency.  They need to learn to play with expectations.  They will be playing without COVID restrictions for the first time in several years

We need the players across the boards to show they are mature human beings.

I agree with this. Good team know how to just go in and take care of business. 

I remember Joey Votto was interviewed and asked a question about why he liked being on a winning team so much. Aside from the obvious answer, he said something along the lines of "it was fun just knowing you were going to go to the stadium and beat the **** out of other teams because you knew by the way you practiced and prepared you were that much better than them."


This team needs to develop/expand upon that approach.
