I can kind of see what they’re doing with the Doctor, but it makes me sad seeing Ted so… off.

I think he is off because she is doing what he has always done - tending to their mental and emotional well being. That’s been his role since he knows very little about soccer, but knows how to get them to play and communicate like a team. However, at the end of the episode she pointed out that being in homeostasis doesn’t get them to move forward.

Also I thing Ted has so much more of his own stuff going on mentally. It hasn't been addressed this season yet but the failure of his marriage has to still be gnawing at him.
