8/17 vs Red Sox (Povich start)

[royalstillman]

What a horrible pitch!

[SteveA]

Man, Cano almost lost his Gold Glove with that throw.

Yeah stop talking about how far this team will go in October, can’t even beat the lousy Red Sox. Pitiful.

[Sports Guy]

You pretty always know if Cano has it or not. If the ball is up, he normally gets hit hard.

Terrible pitch there by Cano.

Duran beat us yesterday too.

No idea McCann’s thought process. He couldn’t locate his 4 seamer twice in that AB and then calls for it again? Get this guy off the team.

Change up down and way would have been perfect.

Too many balls up in the zone for Cano.  Usually is bad news

He actually should have stuck with the 4 seamer up.   He doesn’t work up and down enough, so it looks like he left the sinker in the middle.

100%. 2-2 count, Cano’s 4 seamer isn’t good enough unless you truly trust it high and out of the zone. 

[bpilktree67]

Duran struggles with high heat but you have to get it up above the zone nit thigh high in the middle.  

[baltfan]

This is yet another hot hitting team we are running into. It really seems we have caught a bunch of teams that were very hot when we played them. 

[HowAboutThat]

Well, can’t really complain about the choices made. Cano just didn’t do his job.

Rats.

That was a 4 seamer.

McCann calling a 4 seamer there is so damn idiotic.

I don’t think was really 4 seamer, seemed like it ran back over the plate like 2 seamer.

After not catching up to the heater in prior swings, I am OK with calling another one.  Cano just didn’t execute there and missed his spot by like 12 inches.  If he gets it inside, it’s a grounder back to the mound.
