And it gave them that opportunity to come back in the game later with their offense.

But it certainly shows you why the Blue Jays do value defense as much as they do.

And in the, in the outfield in particular, because it, it can, it kept the game close and kept the Blue Jays within it.

Some of those plays in the outfield.

Defensively.

Yeah, I think so, and I think John Schneider likes playing him.

I like the description of a classic Dalton Farshow game where you have a great defensive play, you have a home run.

The only thing we were missing was probably a bunting for a base hit, which is something that we see him do from the left side.

But yeah, I think that with him healthy and what he can give you in the outfield, even if it's a little bit diminished from what we saw earlier in his career, I think that...

Today was noteworthy how much the Blue Jays sort of pushed the chips in on defense.

It does feel like Schneider has kind of pointed out a number of times that he wants his team to be better defensively.

I think he's probably been disappointed by some of the sloppy defensive mistakes that we've seen because that's not the team that they were last year, and it's not a team that they want to be.

And so I wouldn't be surprised if you're going to have him leaning on Dalton Varshall to kind of –

Was it in Sacramento?

I feel bad for all the starting pitchers.

Yeah, for sure.

And the 500 mark, once again, right in sight for the Blue Jays.

It's been a tough hill to climb for the Blue Jays to get back to that 500 mark, and they keep hovering close to it.

Tomorrow is an opportunity to do that, but even looking ahead against the Astros and the Rangers, that should be another series of games that...

could give you the opportunity to win those series, win more games than you lose, and finally be able to reach that 500 mark and then surpass it, hopefully, if you're the Blue Jays.
