It was stern.

I'm pleased this has been noticed by somebody and publicly acknowledged:

"Overall, Sanchez is slashing a respectable .270/.350/.480 with 14 homers, but in his last 20 games he’s slashed just .213/.281/.313 with one homer.

The 24-year-old catcher has also had some issues defensively. Girardi was seen speaking sternly to Sanchez in Chicago over his inability to block balls in the dirt. Sanchez has nine errors and has thrown out 36 percent of potential basestealers."

Both Sanchez and Romine have done a crummy job blocking pitches.

That's mostly a lack of willingness to get dinged up. Hey, man, it's a tough job.
