Why did Jeff Blair call for Jesús Sánchez to be sent back to Toronto after the loss?
All right, Kevin Barker, I don't know about you, but I'd make Jesus Sanchez walk his ass back to Toronto after tonight.
The blue jays losing seven six tonight to the uh Tampa Bay Rays. Uh I mean look, we've seen some bad defensive outfielders in Toronto. We had Mr. Six Tool himself, Derek Fisher. Remember Corey Patterson when he was in here, they had to let him go. Now, in fairness to Corey Patterson, he was scared of running into walls because he'd had a pretty serious collision as a player. But uh my goodness, what we saw tonight from from Jesus Sanchez, I mean I would have hooked the guy after that ball the the first ball into left field, whatever it hit, if it hit anything, I understand the trop's a difficult place to play, but I mean he looked terrified. He absolutely looked scared. I mean he's staring at the ceiling and uh the roof and staring into the dugout.
Um and then of course the uh the crucial mistake and and let's be clear, Max Scherzer did not have his best stuff tonight, but that crucial mistake, very much a part of the Five run fifth inning. for the raise, Kevin. Um Yeah, kudos hey, kudos to the Jays for coming back. Again, six runs against the Rays. Uh Drove the pitch count up against a really good pitcher, Drew Rasmussen, didn't quit all that good stuff. Charles Mack. I I mean I just I I've said this all year. I don't want to see Jesus Sanchez in the outfield. I just don't. Ever.
Yeah, it's a t yeah, it's a tough look, especially when you're when you're having trouble. Uh y you know, you've had trouble all year defensively, no matter where John's tried to put you because, you know, they were struggling offensively. He was he went through a little hot streak, you know, at the plate with the bat. He's not doing that anymore. He's just not hitting when he's not hitting. I don't know why you run him out there. You know, I I think the Ernie thing, not playing him, kind of screwed everything up right. You could have Mac doing left, like you could have done some Different things if if some other guys were in the lineup, but may I like I just don't know going forward how you ever run him out there again, especially the way every single one of these games matter, Jeff.
I mean you mentioned it, uh, you know, the next inning they battled, they clawed, they fought back, Okamoda with the single, Kirky with the single, Nathan Lucas with the sack fly. Like you sorta, you know, were were stringing it together. You were getting a bunch of hits, which n rarely if ever happens ri against Yeah. And you were doing some things, but just you know, we've talked about this forever. Buck Martinez used to always say this it's one thing to make the errors in the infield, you can overcome that. You start making those in the outfield cost you tons of runs. Yeah. And that's exactly what happened. So I just And boy did
Max ever take a look out to the left field after that. He didn't like that. I mean I wouldn't either.
Nah, he didn't like that. So, you know, I'm sure some things will be said. Uh, you know, Max is a is a big leaguer, he's professional, uh, but I'm just not sure how you keep your mouth shut. You know, you're you're you're telling somebody, whether either you're telling Sanchez or you're telling the manager, you know, if I pitch again, he better not be playing left or he better not be playing the outfield. So I'm sure they'll make some adjustments, they'll figure that out. You you try and wad this up, you throw it in the garbage, you'd be proud of what you did. You know, you five relievers chef that didn't give up a run. Yep. That's pretty good stuff. Like they did enough things to be proud of. It's just you you you never let that dude play the outfield this year again.
Just because of the reason of you can't lose games like this. Yeah. Yeah. No you just can't. No.
No, it it it's inexcusable. I mean there's there is It that was just a routine play. I mean it was uh I mean he was running towards the ball. He just he just peeled off and Anyhow, you know, uh I mean he's looking at uh he's looking at at at at Andre Jimenez, but uh
