i like this a ton if only because i've always desperately wanted starlin to say stuff like this just to get the meatballs off his back. starlin is way too important and good to get run out of town. i personally don't care about the stuff he says or whether he looks sad after errors or whether he runs hard to first base on 100% of popups, but jesus christ do i ever care that he not get run out of here. the "starlin finally matured and i bet it's cause we yelled at him so much when he was young" stuff from the meatballs both within and without the media will be annoying, but it's sadly necessary. good on starlin for heading in that direction.
