Cano could be batting .075 and you'd still find an excuse to defend him, but that's not the point. Girardi has no idea what to do when players are slumping. Letting Tex and Cano swing away when there is no chance of them coming through with a hit is dumb. All they do is kill rallies; if they have no idea how to bunt, pinch hit them for someone who can. I agree 100% with your post.

And if it worked, you would have said what a great move it was. Buy a freaking clue.

You're right. Don't understand why Tex wasn't bunting in the first inning. LOL!!!!!!!

Cano is already a free swinger when he sees Tex going for 3rd that basically put him in a position where he had to swing no matter what. So why do it? The play had a low success rate.

It is becoming somewhat worrisome that he has reverted to expanding the strike zone though. The whole middle is struggling here, but he seems to be an easy out right now. I expect him to be fine, but this slump is as bad as any going on in the lineup right now.

Well, being you are the expert on Cano, maybe you can start a thread when you think he is coming out of it.

That at bat by Cano was terrible. He swung at ball 4 with Tex running.... can he not see the runner going from 2nd to 3rd.

misscamaguey Posts: 3,623	Long should be called on the carpet because he is the batting coach. This Team has a history of going on prolongued cold spells, on an off during the season, the last one was last year during the Championship series, now we have it gain and are down to the Rays 5 games. I can't understand what an entire lineup can go cold for days at a time. I can see one or two but not 7 or 8. So it is time for Cashman to ask Long What Gives!
