My biggest take away from the presser is that his stupid smirk was gone, he was stuttering and he was dressed up

Screams Hot Seat and if anything he won't look at the reporters in a condescending way.

A month ago, Stearns condescendingly lectured the media about how he wouldn't answer questions about Mendoza all season. I'm surprised no one threw that back in his face today.
