Boneheaded Cano, Don't Ya Know

Lets face it, for as many good moments the New York Mets have had in the team's 58 year history, they've had as many bad and boneheaded moments. From bad ownership and general management decisions, to boneheaded plays on the field, Mets fans have seen it all. What happened to Robinson Cano against the Marlins on both Friday and Sunday, may have taken it to another step. Lets take a look at it.

First there was Friday, in an 8-6 loss to Miami. Cano was up in the top of the seventh with one out, two on and his team down 7-3. He hit into a 6-4-3 double play that ended the inning and killed the Mets’ rally. The worst part is he didn’t run the grounder out to first. Rather than blame his lack of hustle on laziness, Cano told his manager Mickey Callaway after the game that he didn’t run out the ball because he thought there were already two outs due to a scoreboard error (Yardbreaker).

I'm sorry Robbie, but that falls all on you. How the hell do you not pay attention during the course of a game to know how many outs there are? In an inning when you are due up, you need to know the game situation so you have an idea of what you might be dealing with when you get to the plate. It gave me a headache thinking about it when I read about it Saturday morning, but whatever it was a passing thing.

Now we look at what he did in the 3-0 loss to Miami on Sunday. This is one of the worst sins in all of baseball. Here's the play from Sunday, see for yourself:


When asked about it during the post game interview, Cano said "I thought it was a foul ball.” He went on to further add that the ball is foul in such instances “99 percent of the time” and blamed plate umpire Jordan Baker for not immediately informing him the ball was fair. It’s not clear if Baker said anything, but he signaled a fair ball as soon as Wallach touched the ball in fair territory (New York Post).

I'm sorry Robbie I don't care what your BS excuse is YOU RUN OUT OF THE DAMN BATTERS BOX. No matter what, unless you hear the umpire yell foul ball, you run. Stop being lazy and move your damn feat. RUN!

You're getting paid a lot of money and your here for another four years, you need to give me something here. The numbers at the plate that your putting up this year are pathetic and that's putting it nicely. He's not hitting, his power and run production are both way down, its almost embarrassing. He needs to be benched a lot more than he is, the two plays in Miami should have been more than enough evidence for a guy to get benched.

I really hope that Cano starts to play better and gets his game going again, because what we are seeing now is pathetic
