It's his ball.
And it's just that's just the way it is.
And he didn't make a forceful call for it.
It dropped in.
And then last night, like you said, the hard line drive, you can I think you can stomach a little bit more.
That stuff kind of happens at times.
At least, you know, that ball was tagged like it really, really hard right at him.
So a little bit harder to judge.
But the play that Stowers gets the double on, he could have caught that ball.
That comes more down.
It wasn't that he wasn't fast enough or that his jump wasn't good enough.
It came more down to him not taking control.
And it looked, to me at least, my opinion, it looked like he was coming in, saw Andres Jimenez initially going out, and kind of thought Jimenez might take it.
That's not an instinct you want your outfielder to have.
Again, he's so young in his major league career.
Something like that is easy to change, I think, to change what a guy's thinking.
You can make those kinds of gains working with him and speaking with him and continuing to drill it down.
But it's unfortunate.
It really felt like it cost a lot.
I mean, even when the game went from 2-1 to 3-1 yesterday, given the lack of Blue Jay offense, it felt like a big blow.
