Every time I see Sanders wearing #9 I can't help but have mixed feelings about that. It was Brady Anderson's number and I kind of think a pretty good active player should be able to wear than instead of a coach. 

Single digits should be reserved for good players.  Sanders should wear #94 or something.

Cano should get All Star consideration.

This freaking guy. How do you walk a guy on 4 pitches. That’s actually hard to do. Go take a seat on the bench bud 

What was your walk rate when you pitched in the MLB?

I'n no expert, but looked to me like he was overthrowing -- everything too far down or away or both.

What was the "batter timeout violation?" Took too long after the timeout to get ready in the box?

I'm impressed that Wander even made solid contact. Cano is so dominant right now!

He deserves it (so far), but I don't like having pitchers on the All-Star team. Rather give them the rest.

Yeah he wasn't ready to bat in time.

He seems like an awesome dude aside from not being on the O's. 

Yeah, didn't mean to compare him personality wise to Bautista. Just a guy that looks like he is going to hit a HR every time he comes to the plate against us, just like I felt with Joey whether he was a douche or not.

I don't think there was a timeout. The clock was running, though Cano had stepped off for a few seconds.

Good point.

Chase Anderson has had 6+ and 7+ ERAs the last three seasons w Toronto, Phila and Cincy. Wonder what the Rays see in him--good years w Brewers were before then.

Batter has to be ready to hit and looking at the pitcher by 8 seconds remaining on the pitch clock.
