"Cano bungled a sure double-play ball in the seventh and the Blue Jays went on to score three times in the inning. His backhand to Derek Jeter at the bag was low and skipped away, putting two runners on with no out. Bautista hit an RBI single and Joe Inglett a two-run single to pull Toronto within 6-5.
'You have to make sure of one out in that situation,' Girardi said. 'He has that smoothness that people will assume he's being nonchalant. He's not. He's made that play so many times.' "
There ya go.
Torre Version II.
Remember a couple of weeks ago when Cano "smoothly" jogged after a ground ball in the ninth inning that cost the Yankees a game?
Girardi should have dealt with it at that time.
Actually, Girardi should have dealt with it in Spring Training.
ARod's double play was bad luck. He was thrown out by only 1/2 a step -- because hustled down to first base -- what a concept.

Cano should have joined his buddy Cabrera in the minors.
