Cano's errors are starting to hurt this team this late in the series. If the team makes it to the playoffs, I don't know if Cano is up to the pressure. Tonight's loss may come back to haunt the Yankees late September. The Devil Rays are acting like the Red Sox against our team and it stinks.

You guys say you want this team to get younger. Cano's about as good as they come for a defensive 2B as a rookie. He's going to make some routine errors. These are the kind of errors that you have to live with. Do you want to get younger, or do you want to stay older? You have to give a little to get a little.
Speaking of errors
C-A-N-O
Cano.
Spell his name right first.
"When white belts want to learn jiu jitsu they go to a black belt. When black belts want to learn jiu jitsu they go to John Danaher."
Fatality
Kano???
Are we talking about the soccer player who played for Arsenal?
I think he spelled it that way because of K as in strikeout??
Either way, the last time someone started a thread about Kano it became a 3 page thing about Mortal Kombat. Just spell the kid's name right.
Oh lord, here comes another Mortal Kombat discussion.

How bad was Cano's error? On sportsline, it said it was behind 2B.
btw, why was the run earned if it scored on an error?
Actually, it is the other 9 losses to one of the worst teams in the American League that will haunt this team
Because Crawford followed with an infield hit that Cano did not charge. So even if Cano made the play earlier, Gathright scores on the infield hit. In my mind, Cano made 2 mistakes that inning and Mo suffered for it.
It was really bad. It wasn't a bad hop or anything. It looked like it got slowed down a tiny bit because it appeared to deflect off Mo's glove but it just hit Cano's glove and he botched it plain and simple.
I agree. Cano not charging on that ball hit from Crawford was just plain stupid. There were so many stupid plays tonight, those are by far the toughest losses to take, when people just play dumb.
Five points off for misspelling Cano. Now its the first day of school,you'll have time to practice your spelling and raise your average.

Cano's mind is adrift lately.
He needs to uppercut the ball into the Pit
"Strickland Propene does not have a vending machine. It smells, and I thank God every day I get home that I didn't get exploded. The end."
It sure is. Attention Deficit Disorder and Pennant Races do not mix.
I heard this today...Did Coltrane actually exist? This is like being blind for 50 years, regaining sight, and then peering directly at the sun.
Was it actually behind 2B? If so, would he have been able to get Lugo at 1st, or would he have just kept Gathright from scoring?
I think Kano's problem is that his left red mechanical eye hinders his vision thus causing him more errors. Until he gets that fixes, JFR should bench him.IMO.

Mortal Kombat 2 was the best one. I liked Baraka.
He was basically playing close to 2nd trying to keep Gathright close to the bag. Cano would have gotten Lugo out if he fields the ball. But if Cano had done that and still not charged Crawfords ball, then Gathright scores anyways a batter later.
We have a real person with that last name here and she fights you almost to the death everytime that you try to arrest her.

That's why I think that Bellhorn should be brought in for the 8th and 9th inning. Cano simply has mental lapses in the latter innings which are frightening. Let him work that out next spring.

When did his last mental lapse in the late inning occur?

HADOUKEN!
Ooops...
I'd have to look it up. I just remember that it's in the 9th inning that he has these.

He had a huge mental lapse in that last series in Fenway where Mo had to get out of a bases loaded jam. So however long ago that was.
Jiambi out at second trying to stretch a single
Jhonson didn't hold the lead
A Rodriquez struck out 3 times, weakly grounded out the other time
George Podasa pinch hit and made out on one pitch
Brennie Willaims shouldn't be in CF
Flattery can't throw anyone out
Riviera gave up 2 hits
Jeeter grounded into a DP to end the game (on the 1st pitch)
Soho got another runner throwed out at home.
Kano wasn't the olny prolbem.

Yeah, I can see they're piling up.

Choose your destiny.
*Posada hit the ball very hard, and it was a great play by the 3B to snag that ball.
*Flaherty's throw was damn close. Not many can throw out Crawford.
*Rivera's second hit he gave up was because Cano failed to charge the ball and make the throw to first. Crawford was just safe, and if Cano charged the ball like he should have Crawford would have been out.
Somehow Petite and O'Neil share the blame, too.
That darn Clemmons.
What about Greg Nettles,,,,, er, I mean Craig.

Exactly.
9 losses to the DRays in 2 seasons is unacceptable, much less in 1. But, I'm sure it is because Piniella is unable to motivate his players for their big match-ups... I wonder if Torre could learn anything from Piniella's tactics -- such as getting the most from your players?
I LOVE New York!!!
VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
Yeah well when you are chasing a Playoff Spot every error matters. There is NO excuse for that botched ball tonight. None. Anyone who is trying to defend that is watching the game with blinders on.
There is no excuse.

Animality!
Yes, Cano screwed up, but really, when you lose to the Devil Rays, can blame be placed on the shoulders of only one person? Such a collossal failure is a team effort.
I wanna be a New York RANGER, I wanna live a life of DANGER
What's more important; winning games or getting Cano experience?
Bellhorn's alot better defensively, his intelligence and experience are key components of that. He much less likely to have a ball go between his legs in the 9th or to throw the ball into left field only to have Mo miracously bail you out in Fenway.
I think it should be seriously looked into, Bellhorn could provide alot more stability at 2B to greatly help this team. The thing that really bothered me is that after the error, Cano waiting on the ball on the very next play instead of charging it. It's hard to determine whether he's choking or just plain losing focus.
Bellhorn even showed some pop in his bat with the homer off Zito.
Quite frankly, I'm just getting plain sick and tired of watching Cano make costly errors in crucial situations. At the very least he should be benched for the short term as punishment. He needs to change his attitude and actually focus more both in the field and at the plate.
What about getting doubled up about a week or so ago after walking off 2nd base thinking that the ump had called him out?
This is so simple. Defensive replacements.
Bellhorn in the 9th.
It's not a great replacement, but it's better. Hopefully, Torre will learn a lesson from night.
Oh wait, Torre doesn't learn lessons.
The thread is about Cano's errors, not all of the problems on the team. The kid messed up plain and simple. You'd think he'd be determined to make up for it, but he showed a lack of hustle on the very next play by not charging Crawford's grounder. It looks like you're more interested in making excuses for him. Cano should be held accountable for his poor play.
