Duke has quite a head start though, given he's already gotten past most of the team's defences, and has a good handle on how each of them think/avoid unwanted topics. I think one of the others might be the official team therapist, should there be one, but they'll have to lean on Duke pretty hard most likely. Whether they know/realise this or not.

There have been a couple of Duke P.O.V. bits that make me think that Duke either doesn't have the ability, or doesn't think he has, to be much more than a den mother.  Although he does make a good one.

Doesn't mean he won't try, though, if he thinks it's needed and no-one else is stepping up to the plate.  But he might not be obvious about it.  This is Duke, after all, who excels at the art of the sneaky.

It occurs to me that any psych stuff that Sol does, he does in a casual and back handed way so that it doesn't look like he is doing any, thereby not arousing resistance or animosity in his prey.

BTW, a den mother has to deal with egos, sibling rivalry, jealousy, teasing, self esteem issues, motivational issues, teaching basic etiquette as well as salt maps, leather stamping and the taxonomy of mammals and plants.

Read more stats. Look up weird cultural stuff. (When they give us card game examples, we get rules. But we're expected to know how baseball works?)

Indeed. Seeing "baseball" and "stats" in the same paragraph reminds me of the year I worked as a newspaper proofreader (back when they had such things). Baseball stats, in 6 point. Worse than the classifieds - at least *those* made sense.
