Jadey Martinez had a rough day in right field, starting with a misplayed fly ball that he blamed on the sun. The ball dropped in and let the runner reach second. Moments later, another routine pop-up turned into chaos when Martinez avoided making the play, forcing teammate Brock Holt to charge in and try to save the out. The ball dropped between them while Martinez hesitated near it. His body language said it all—he didn’t trust himself and didn’t want the ball.
Later, Martinez tried to redeem himself chasing a Glaber Torres double near the right field stands. As he reached toward the railing, he missed and accidentally grabbed a female fan in the front row. The moment got awkward fast. The fan looked shocked, and the clip went viral. Commentary in the video pushed back hard on anyone calling it intentional, insisting it was a clear mistake while Martinez reached for the fence and misjudged the distance.
It summed up a forgettable outing for Martinez, both on the field and in fan relations. From misjudging easy outs to creating an uncomfortable moment in the stands, nothing seemed to go right for him.
