Don't ya know?

"The ball squirted up and out of Robinson Cano’s throwing hand in the seventh, sabotaging a potential inning-ending, double-play relay while Quintin Berry scooted home from third base for the first run in a 3-0 loss to Detroit.
Cano betrayed no emotion, because he never does.

'I didn’t get a grip on the ball, but I think he would be safe anyway,' he said."

Cano will win a Gold Glove, but it's fraudulent.  He botches plays in the field constantly ... often due to his laziness and lack of fundamentals ... and the accolades he receives are mostly due to his penchant for making easy plays look hard.


"Cano didn’t run hard to first on a soft, swinging bunt to the pitcher in the sixth."

Cano didn't even run hard to assist Jeter.  

Jeter must have been 90+ feet away.

"He didn’t protest much later, either, when Omar Infante was called safe at second base by ump Jeff Nelson on a clear tag-out, turning the eighth inning into a two-run fiasco.

Cano was cool as an October night, even as his manager was ejected for arguing the botched call, very nearly blaming the umps for losing both Games 1 and 2."

Cano argued with the umpire a little bit.

  "The stats are mind-numbing, archeologically significant. After grounding out harmlessly to first base in the eighth inning, Cano left the stadium 2-for-32 (.063) in the 2012 playoffs and on an 0-for-26 streak, the longest postseason slump in the team’s long history.

No Yankee has been this bad for this long in October, ever."

It's the longest single-season postseason hitless streak in MLB history.

He was robbed of a single on a bad umpire call, to be fair.  On the same play, however, he didn't run hard out of the batter's box.

"Cano is in the middle of everything, spurring nothing. He leaves runners on base. He is deceptively efficient in the field, yet his nonchalant style does not endear him to fans."

He is not deceptively efficient, he is lazy and fundamentally unsound.  

As for his nonchalant style, nobody complains because he hits .300.  Nobody besides me.

"Is it the pressure, the responsibility of being the club’s very best hitter?

'I don’t put that in my mind,' Cano said.

Maybe he should."

I don't think it's important for him to change his demeanor.

I just think he hit a weird slump at a bad time.

It is important, however, for him to hustle. Do it once, for me, so I can see it with my own eyes. Run 90 feet to first base one time in your career.
