First we're worried about burning them out, now we're worried about them getting too much rest? 

I’m more worried about the former.

I agree.

Cano splits for the season:
First 21.2 innings,- 4 hits allowed, no runs, no walks and 25 K's
Last 12.1 innings - 16 hits allowed, 4 runs all earned 4 walks and 8 Ks.

Hopefully it will change back, but right now, I am a bit more nervous when Cano comes in the game than Baumann. Other than the really bad game vs Cleveland, Baumann has been very effective in his last 10-11 appearances while Cano has been shaky in most of his last 10 to 11 appearances, although at least avoiding total meltdowns.

Wasn’t too long ago that guys were saying Cano should be the closer over Felix. How things have changed.

The obsession over small sample sizes is to blame for this.

So am I.  I just was noting that sinkerballers can have some issues when they are too strong.  Doesn’t mean I didn’t think it was wise to rest him.

I just worry about Cano and Bautista being burned out.  Baumann too.  That's why a trade for a guy like Scott Barlow, has extra added value to us, and getting him early.  We know he's available now, and the Royals moved Chapman already.  Getting Barlow early would be worth more than Barlow himself, it would mean we get to take some of the weight off the back end of the pen.  That's worth it.

YC looks off right now.  His arm seems high and he’s not getting the same movement.

Well that aged like milk. 
 

The point remains and even Ben noticed it and mentioned it on the broadcast. I wonder if for a guy like that with that arm slot if that’s a sign of being burned out.

It doesn’t help they kept calling fastball after fastball.  His change looked good tonight but fastball was either straight or pulled a few across body.

Impressive that Ben was able to quickly notice that and point it out.

HA my name is actually Ben but no fair! I posted before Ben mentioned it on the broadcast! 
 

He also confirmed my suspicion that it’s probably arm fatigue. That’s not good to hear. YC has been a workhorse. Him slipping even a little bit would be devastating for the O’s.

Yes, and hopefully Fujinami can help fill the void if necessary.
