um... trusted him to command the zone and were a little bit limited today on the bench so there you go that's the thought process behind not pinch hitting for uh... Charles McAdoo bringing in Kirk again I mean look this is not a criticized Charles McAdoo thing it's just I know Guy was talking about you know he's not ready and so on I generally and again very small sample size I've liked what I've seen from McAdoo he also

kept the game at 1-1 when, what, there was Tyler Rodgers on the mound, runners on first and third with two outs, and he makes the diving stop on the ground ball to, I think it was Jason Dominguez, makes the diving stop, gets the first, keeps the game tied 1-1.

So there have been positives in his game.

I know that's on defense, talking about offense here with him, but it's less about McAdoo and more just if you want, I think you were the one who used the term professional A.B.

from a guy in Alejandro Kirk who we know

can command a strike zone relatively well.

I think that's why a lot of people take umbrage with it, and that's why I do personally.

Yeah, and I don't have any issue with him not starting today, for example, right?

Yeah, exactly.

That's not even a Blue Jays thing.

I think most teams do that, right?

I don't really have an issue with that whatsoever.

It's just, I don't know.

I mean, if he's available, you should be able to use him.

And if there is anything, I don't want to say anything wrong with him, but if there's a reason outside of...

or if there's not a reason outside of you know injury medical whatever that he couldn't be used that you know probably like to like to know that in in being asked that question uh of course the other thing we're talking about today Schneider on the decision to uh ask Ernie Clement to bunt in the eighth inning as well with runners on first and second let's hear what he had to say yeah Ern's good at it and you know obviously like the way Valley's swinging the bat and um

I mean, look, he's not wrong in that Ernie Clement gets a lot of things right.

So again, to what I was saying earlier, he probably wears it a teensy bit.

But yeah, still, it just, I don't know, it just seemed like an unnecessary move, an unnecessary ask for a guy who, even beyond the rest of the season, in this game, had had some success, which, again, I find a little puzzling.
