So, yeah, completely jarring.

I mean, Kevin, let me ask you, if you're in that situation and someone's throwing a bottle cap or worse at you on the field,

How do you adjust from that?

Because it seemed like it rattled Sanchez, and I mean, understandably so.

Yeah.

Well, it definitely seemed like he indicated to the fan, like, hey, we're having some sort of interaction here.

And it's hard to see from the outside where that line is because, of course, part of the awesome thing about a baseball game is you have the fans right there and they can talk and there can be that interaction.

And that's such a cool part of that.

And then, of course, there's a line which this fan crossed.

It seems like it was inadvertent, but this fan crossed that line where it's like,

No, no, no.

The players have to focus like we can't be throwing projectiles at them.

So hopefully that's a one of, you know, I did hear from someone with the front office, not with the Blue Jays, who is like, man, like, is this going to lead to some more security measures?

And hopefully that doesn't happen.

Hopefully common sense prevails and everyone just understands.

We have to respect that these athletes are here doing a job and they need to be able to focus on the field.

Only the Jays.
